Biei Blue Pond
A mystical cobalt blue pond that was adopted as Apple's wallpaper.
Biei Blue Pond is a spectacular spot where water containing aluminum mixes with the Biei River, creating a mystical water surface that shines in cobalt blue. It became famous worldwide when it was adopted as the macOS wallpaper by Apple. The fantastical scenery of standing dead larch trees reflected on the water surface changes its shade of blue depending on the season and weather. During winter, a light-up event is held, and the contrast between the snow and blue water surface is breathtaking. A walking trail of about 800m from the parking lot to the pond is well-maintained.
