The secret to the blue color of Blue Pond is the aluminum ions contained in the water. Aluminum ions absorb and reflect blue light from sunlight, which is why the water surface appears blue. In addition, the withered larch trees further enhance the blue color of the pond.

You can enjoy Shirokane Blue Pond's changing expressions throughout the four seasons. The pond is worth visiting all year round, with fresh greenery in the spring, a refreshing contrast between the fresh greenery and the blue pond in the summer, autumn leaves in the fall, and snowy scenery in the winter.

It is also a popular place among photographers, as it is used as wallpaper for Apple's OS.
