Furano Day Trip Farm Tomita Shirogane Blue Pond (Summer)
When I was cleaning up my old hard drive, I found some old pictures from 2022, in which I was joining a day trip to Furano with my wife’s family. I decided to just share it here. Japan was still on alert during Covid-19 period so we could join the day tour to Furano with relatively cheaper price. We departed in the morning and returned to Sapporo in the evening. Since it was not that crowded, it was definitely a great experience! And do not forget, If you need help arranging private tour in Hokkaido, you can use our trip planner!
Shirogane Blue Pond
Our first destination was Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoike). This man-made pond was created in order to protect the town of Biei from volcanic mudflow. The distinct blue color is due to the presence of Aluminum Hydroxide in the water. This unique color turned this man-made pond into one of scenic tourist spot in Hokkaido.
