A Look at the Beautiful Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido This video, titled "[Superb View / Drone Film] Blue Pond Biei, Hokkaido [4K]" (【絶景/空撮】青い池 北海道美瑛町《4K》 "Blue Pond" Hokkaido), was released by "Noriyuki Ichikawa 《4K Drone Film》." When you hear the name Hokkaido, you probably think of gourmet food like miso ramen and seafood, or perhaps you know of the historical and cultural landmarks, such as Goryokaku or the Brick Warehouses in Otaru. However, if there's one thing we shouldn't forget, it's that Hokkaido is one of the most magnificent natural areas of Japan. One such place in Hokkaido, Biei, has the wonderous "Blue Pond" ("Aoi-Ike" in Japanese) that can be seen in the video. It's as popular as the lavender field in Biei, Furano (富良野). In this article, we'll introduce the Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido. Be sure to follow along with the video to see the beautiful natural landscapes of Hokkaido! The Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido Photo：The Blue Pond The "Blue Pond" is a famous tourist attraction located in Shirogane (白金), Biei, Kamikawa District (上川郡), Hokkaido. Its official name is "Shirogane Blue Pond." As the name suggests, the surface of the pond is a brilliant blue. By nature, the pond does not appear blue, but there is a reason for its color. In the vicinity of Blue Pond, there's the "Shirahige Falls" in the Shirogane Hot Springs area." Shirahige Falls has groundwater welling up from the inside of the cliffs and this water contains aluminum components. When the falls merge with Biei River (美瑛川), colloidal particles that are invisible to the naked eye are created and scatter the rays of sun evenly. The particles tend to scatter short-wavelength blue light, which makes the pond appear blue. In addition, the sulfur and lime components in the Shirogane Hot Spring water flowing from the side of the waterfall also complement the scattering of light, making the stones and rocks on the riverbed appear white. It enhances the blue color of the pond and creates a spectacular view like nothing you've seen before. The Conditions for Seeing the Beautiful Blue Pond Photo：Shirokane Aoi Pond in Biei, Hokkaido A visit to the "Shirogane Blue Pond" does not necessarily mean that you will see the Blue Pond. The keys to seeing the Blue Pond are "weather" and "time of day". It is not recommended to go on rainy days, as the water will increase and the colors become lighter and murky afterwards. That being said, you should check the weather before visiting Shirogane Blue Pond. A good time to visit is in the afternoon. 12:00 - 1:00 PM is generally the best time to visit. The angle of the sun is also an important factor. The angle of the sun will determine whether the colloid glow blue or not. Access To Biei, Hokkaido's Blue Pond Photo：Shirogane Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido Shirogane Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido is a 25-minute bus ride from Biei Station. Take the Tohoku Bus bound for Shirogane Onsen and get off at the "Shirogane Blue Pond Entrance" (白金青い池入口, Shirogane Aoi-ike Iriguchi. If you go via the JR line, it's recommended that you take the JR and drive or use the bus to get to Aoi Pond, as it's far from the nearest station. Parking lots are available for those who come by car. There are various sightseeing destinations around Blue Pond in Biei Town, Hokkaido that are popular as well; "Tokachidake Observatory," "Seidai Park," "Chiyoda no Oka Observation Deck," "Sanai no Oka Observatory Park," "Shinei no Oka Observation Park," and "Shikisai-no-oka Hill." Be sure to check these out as well if you have the chance. Summary of Shirogane Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido Photo：An illumination at Shirogane Blue Pond in Hokkaido The blue pond in Biei, Hokkaido is a mysterious pond created by nature, and the stunning sight created by the blue pond and the four seasons of Hokkaido is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who see it.

Shirogane Blue Pond is a spiritual spot in Biei. Shirogane Blue Pond was actually made by accident as a by-product of attempts to control mudslides.

As you can see in the video, the natural scenery surrounding Furano and Biei, with the glorious rivers and mountain paths, make it a popular location for nature loving travelers. Gourmet Food in Biei and Furano, Hokkaido Photo：Melon Souvenirs we recommend from Furano include Furano Melon (Honey dew), Furano curry, and ice cream that can be purchased from Furano Marche.

Because Hokkaido is such a large island, we recommend planning ahead and using the available transportation wisely.

Autumn Leaves at Tsutanuma Lake in Towada, Aomori: Video Introduction This video, titled "Perfect Fall Foliage Reflections at Tsuta Numa Lake - (shot on BMPCC6K)" ([4K] 紅色の絶景 美しすぎる蔦沼の紅葉 - Perfect Fall Foliage Reflections at Tsuta Numa Lake - (shot on BMPCC6K)), was uploaded by "AQUA Geo Graphic." The video, which is less than four minutes long, introduces the breathtaking views of nature in Aomori, Japan. Tsutanuma is a secluded area at the foot of the Hakkoda Mountains in Japan's Aomori Prefecture. The trees are dyed a fiery red in the morning sun, and the still surface of the lake becomes a mirror, reflecting the magnificent red and orange foliage. The contrast with the clear blue sky is also wonderful, and the video allows viewers to experience something not often found in nature. [Video] 0:30 - Autumn Leaves Reflecting on the Surface of Tsutanuma Lake Characteristics and Highlights of Tsutanuma Lake, a Place Surrounded by Magnificent Natural Scenery Photo：Akanuma Pond, Hakkoda, Aomori Tsutanuma Lake is a secluded area deep in the Hakkoda Mountains of Aomori Prefecture, located 460 meters above sea level. The lake has a circumference of 1 km and an area of about 15 acres. It is one of seven marshes, lakes, and ponds (Tsutanuma, Kagaminuma, Tsukinuma, Naganuma, Suganuma, Hyotan-numa, and Akanuma) scattered throughout the prefecture, and is popular as a place for viewing the autumn leaves. The area around Towada-Hachimantai, including Tsutanuma Lake, was designated as Towada-Hachimantai National Park in 1936, and is an area where virgin forests of beech trees and other pristine natural features remain. The area is also a wildlife protection area for birds and animals, as it's home to a variety of wild birds, making bird-watching very enjoyable here. The "Marsh Tour" (沼めぐりの小路, Numa-meguri no Koji) is a 2.9 km circuit of six marshes (excluding Akanuma), which takes visitors counterclockwise from the Visitor Center to Tsutanuma, Kagaminuma, Tsukinuma, Naganuma, Suganuma, and Hyotan-numa, in that order, through beautiful beech forests. The course takes about one and a half hours to complete, depending on how fast you walk. You can enjoy the breathtaking seasonal scenery as you stroll along. The Autumn Foliage Season at Tsutanuma Lake – When to Visit and How to Make Reservations Photo：Tsutanuma Lake, Aomori The autumn leaves at Tsutanuma usually appear from mid-October to early November. The best time to visit is early in the morning from 6:00 to 6:30 a.m. The spectacular view of the crimson autumn leaves illuminated by the early morning sun, as shown in the video, is a sight that can only be seen before the sun has fully risen. However, please note that prior reservations and a "cooperation fee" are collected when touring Tsutanuma. The purpose of this is to prevent congestion and protect the environment so that the beautiful Tsutanuma can be enjoyed by future generations. Advance reservations are required to access the observation deck in the early morning. Also, daytime sightseeing does not require advance reservations, but a "cooperation fee" system is in place for both early morning and daytime viewing. Please keep this in mind when planning your visit, and enjoy sightseeing while respecting proper etiquette. [Video] 0:10 - Autumn Leaves Blazing Crimson in the Morning Sun The Four Seasons of Tsutanuma Lake and the Secluded Hot Springs of Tsuta Onsen Photo：Tsuta Onsen If you visit Tsutanuma, be sure to stop by Tsuta Onsen Ryokan. It's a hot spring inn located near the entrance to Oirase Gorge, surrounded by a forest of beech trees and abundant greenery. Tsuta Onsen has a long history, and is a hidden hot spring that has been flowing for 1,000 years, which is very rare, even in Japan. Tsuta Onsen is also conveniently located approximately 5 minutes on foot from "Numa-meguri no Koji," a course for exploring the seven lakes. It's also only a 20-minute drive to the Oirase Gorge and a 40-minute drive to the Hakkoda Ropeway, making it easy to access nearby tourist attractions. Embraced by pristine nature, Tsutanuma is a popular spot not only for tourists, but also for photographers, as it offers a different look in each of the four seasons, leading to many repeat visitors who visit every season. Outside of autumn, the area offers a variety of seasonal landscapes, including fresh greenery in the spring, fog and fireflies in the summer, and snowy landscapes in the winter. Summary of Sightseeing at Tsutanuma Lake Tsutanuma isn't a place mentioned by many travel guides, but most people in Japan are familiar with the Hakkoda Mountains. In addition to strolling around Tsutanuma Lake, you can also visit the surrounding tourist spots such as Oirase Gorge, Lake Towada, and the Hakkoda Mountains in about 40 minutes by car. Also, the Hachimantai area, including Tsutanuma, is one of the most prominent volcanic areas in Japan, and there are many hot spring resorts scattered around Towada-Hachimantai National Park. You can see magnificent scenes of nature all around that will help you forget your everyday life, and you can also take many photos that will look great on Instagram. Take a trip to Towada-Hachimantai in Michinoku and immerse yourself in the great nature of Aomori in north-eastern Japan. 【TripAdvsior】Tsutanuma Lake https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1059454-d1367829-Reviews-Tsutanuma_Pond-Towada_Aomori_Prefecture_Tohoku.html

It's an introductory video of "Utase Ships," the traditional fishing boats handed down in Ashikita (芦北町, Ashikita cho), Kumamoto, in Japan's Kyushu region. In addition to the Kumamoto Ashikita area, "Utase Ships" are used in traditional fishing practices in areas such as Hachirogata, Akita, located in Japan's Tohoku region. The Yatsushiro Sea (八代海, Yatsushiro kai) in Kumamoto is also known as the Shiranui Sea (不知火海, Shiranui kai), and is a famous place to enjoy delicious seafood thanks to its high-quality waters. In the Shiranui Sea, the traditional Japanese fishing method of using the power of the sea breeze to pull up seafood from the ocean floor is still practiced today. This video introduces Utase Ships and traditional fishing with beautiful images. Please enjoy the video showcasing ancient techniques in the modern era. Features of the Utase Ship Source :YouTube screenshot Kumamoto's specialty is a traditional fishing method in which bottom trawling nets are set up on an Utase sailboat and dragged along by the sea breeze. The ship goes to the fishing grounds by engine, but after the net is dropped, fishing is performed using only the power of nature. Sea hulls such as prawns, crabs, and giant clams can be harvested using this bottom trawling method. The good thing about this method is that it allows you to catch only the amount of fish you need, and it also allows you to clean the ocean by pulling up debris from the sea floor. Utase fishing is a traditional fishing method that the Japanese have been using since ancient times to live in harmony with nature. The fishing is introduced from 1:41 in the video. It is also explained in the video that "only the necessary blessings are separated from the sea." Take a Ride on a Beautiful Utase Ship Source :YouTube screenshot The appearance of the beautiful boats with white sails going through the scenic open sea is exciting and gorgeous at the same time. Kumamoto's Utase Ships are so beautiful that they're called the "white-dressed ladies of the sea" (白いドレスをまとった海の貴婦人). This is introduced at 1:27 in the video. The beautiful atmosphere in the video helps you understand why it's called this. Kumamoto’s specialty Utase Ship is operated as a sightseeing pleasure boat during the off-season of fishing. While sightseeing on the Utase Ships and Ashikita fishing boats, you can also try marlin fishing! Be sure to look at the beautiful colors of these fish and eat plenty of delicious seafood! If you want to experience the magnificent views of Kumamoto's gorgeous waters or try your hand at fishing, look into the Utase tours in Kumamoto. Summary of Kumamoto's Utase Ships The Utase Ships that sail the open seas of Kumamoto, remind us of the ancient Japanese fishing methods in harmony with nature. The area around Ashikita, where you can taste delicious seafood and other gourmet dishes, is a somewhat secret spot for traveling to Kyushu.
