Description
The Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido. The Blue Pond is only one part of a harmonious symphony. The other part is its surrounding forest. The water’s enigmatic color has also made the pond a popular spiritual place. In 1988, nearby Mt. Tokachi erupted. To prevent the destructive effect of volcanic mudflow on the town of Biei, a dam was constructed on Biei River. The Blue Lake is just one of a number of ponds that were artificially born as a by-product of said construction. The once-living Japanese larch and silver birch trees in the pond quickly became partly submerged, with only their withered appearance remaining. In combination with the mysterious blue, the dead trees are a part of the scenery.
