When you walk along the promenade surrounded by fresh green while watching the smoke from Tokachidake, you will reach the Blue Pond( Aoi-ike) , one of the spectacular views of Biei town.
"Blue Pond" is a man-made pond located in Shirokane, Biei-cho, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido, where water is collected on one of the dams built on the Biei River. These dams were constructed for the purpose of preventing the damage of the pyroclastic flow due to the deposits that occurred when Tokachidake erupted in 1988.
