Lake Shikotsu
Lake Shikotsu, known for some of the clearest waters in Japan, transforms into a spectacular location during the summer. This caldera lake, surrounded by mountains, offers opportunities for swimming and clear-bottom kayaking. In early July, the Lake Shikotsu Water Festival takes place, featuring fireworks, performances, a parade, and lanterns that create a festive atmosphere.
Shirogane Blue Pond
Located in Biei, the Shirogane Blue Pond is a unique natural wonder that displays its vivid cobalt hue during late spring and summer. This stunning pond was created after the eruption of Mt. Tokachi in 1988 and provides a mesmerising reflection of the surrounding forest. Nearby attractions, such as Shirahige Falls and the Biei River with crystal-clear waters, are equally captivating.
