It's interesting how Japan has so many blue lakes. It's such a strange phenomenon. I'm not sure if the color in all of them is due to the same phenomenon, but the one in Biei is supposedly colored blue because of aluminum and other minerals that scatter sunlight in just the right way. I have a feeling this one isn't the same because the one in Biei was formed only after a dam was made, but I'm interested to learn what exactly causes it here. I actually hadn't heard of this blue lake before but Aomori has some really nice scenery so it's not too surprising. Also Shirakami-Sanchi is a UNESCO heritage site for a reason I suppose lol. I'd like to go see this and the Nebuta Festival in Aomori as that's supposed to be really awesome as well. Maybe it's possible to see them during the same visit?

It is a blue pond in Shirakami-Sanchi, Aomori Prefecture. It is a place that I would definitely like to revisit once Corona calms down.

Wow this is amazing. I've heard of Kumano Kodo before, but this is just way too beautiful. One thing I find interesting about this is the two sides of the path It looks as though it's 2 very different areas. The soil on the left and right looks completely different, and the tree on the left are covered in foliage, whereas the trees on the right are all stripped of their leaves. I wonder if this is some cool natural phenomenon. I'd love to go hiking here and find a nice spot by a lake and just have a picnic/barbecue for the day. I wonder if there are any lakes nearby here. I'll have to do a bit of research it seems! I love how just looking at this I can feel the history and imagine how people would have traveled down this path for their pilgrimages hundreds of years ago. Awesome!
