Blue Pond & Blue River in Shirogane Hot Springs

Shirogane Hot Springs is a part of Daisetsuzan National Park.


There is a beautiful pond called "Blue Pond" that attracts lots of people along the White Birch Way about 25 mins. from JR Biei station by car.


There is also a beautiful waterfall called "Shirahige no Taki" about 5 kilometers above the blue river. "Shirahige" means a grey beard.


This waterfall isn't frozen even in a severe winter.


The view always helps FTA feel refreshed :D
