What people say

"Definitely one of the most famous places in Biei and the good news is, it's accessible by car or bus from Biei Station. The journey takes approximately 30 minutes by car. The pond's unique blue color is attributed to natural minerals in the water. It's a popular spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts. What to Expect: The ethereal beauty of the pond changes with the seasons. In winter, the pond freezes, creating a mesmerizing icy landscape. The illuminated evenings, offered on specific dates, add a touch of magic. The area also features walking paths for a closer look at the surroundings."

"A place to swing by and to check out, but not a place to plan your whole day around. This blue pond changes colour depending on the weather of the day, so each visitor gets a unique experience. It can be busy if a tour bus happens to come by when you're there, but it's just a path through through the wood and you can view the pond from many different spots. "
"The pond is a very pretty colour but it was extremely crowded with tour buses pulling up every 15mins. And yes, you also have to pay about 500yen for parking here. "
