The Blue Pond, located on the left bank of the Biei River, is a serene body of water created by a dam constructed to intercept volcanic magma. Under the sunlight, the pond reflects a mesmerizing blue hue, earning its name. Captured by National Geographic photographer Kent Shiraishi, the pond’s image was later acquired by Apple and became one of the default wallpapers for the MAC series. Rich in volcanic ash minerals and sediment, the Blue Pond changes color with the environment, offering a new spectacle at every moment.
