The falls originate from underground springs, creating a unique and ethereal sight, especially striking against the river’s bright, mineral-rich blue waters. Shirahige Falls is stunning year-round, with winter providing a magical snowy backdrop and nighttime illuminations that enhance the enchanting scene.

• Shirogane Blue Pond - Located in the scenic town of Biei, Hokkaido, Shirogane Blue Pond is famous for its enchanting blue waters that vary from light turquoise to deep cobalt, depending on the season and weather. This captivating color is due to natural minerals, particularly aluminum hydroxide, suspended in the water, which scatter sunlight to create the pond’s vivid hue. Originally formed as part of an erosion control system following the 1988 eruption of Mount Tokachidake, the pond has become a symbol of serene beauty. Standing dead Japanese larch trees rise from the water’s surface, adding an ethereal quality to the landscape.
