The famous scenic spot "Shirogane Blue Pond" in Biei Town, Hokkaido, is a natural wonder formed by the mineral precipitation of the nearby Tokachi-dake volcano and is included in the Hokkaido Nature Reserve. The Shirogane Blue Pond is an artificial lake, which was created to prevent the disaster of volcanic mudflow caused by the accumulation of materials after the eruption of Tokachi-dake. The water surface is famous for its mysterious blue and dead branches, which is full of artistic conception. The water surface changes to different blues in the four seasons, and you can enjoy different blue changes; in early spring when the snow melts, it is blue; in early summer, it is clear sky blue. The contrast between the new green and the azure blue, the autumn red is reflected on the water surface, and it freezes into a silvery white in the cold winter. The four seasons change, taking you to appreciate the different styles of the Blue Pond, and it is also beautiful to visit at night. Finally, the most popular thing to eat is the Blue Pond ice cream, "Blue Pond Soda" and other famous products of the Blue Pond.
