Things to do in Shirogane Blue Pond

On August 25, 2026, we met at Exit 31 of Datong Station to join the 11:10 AM tour. We had the pleasure of having Hanna, a very elegant and knowledgeable tour guide, and Mr. Kasai, our driver. Hanna professionally explained the itinerary and provided excellent service throughout the trip. The advantage of departing a bit later was truly great, as we avoided large crowds and rush hour traffic on the way back. We didn't even have to wait in line for dinner. Although the journey was a bit long, it was well worth it for the beautiful scenery. We visited the Blue Pond, the Herb Garden (shopping for lavender products), Shikisai-no-Oka, Farm Tomita, a melon farm, and enjoyed the illuminated Ningle Terrace at Furano Prince Hotel (a nighttime activity). We returned at 9 PM.

Had a wonderful day trip to Biei and Furano! 🍂🇯🇵 Big thanks to Lucy for the great tour arrangements and friendly service, and to the drivers for being punctual, professional and driving safely. Everything went smoothly, and we had an amazing time exploring Hokkaido’s beautiful scenery. Highly recommended! ❤️✨

Very well arrange, Jenny the tour guide contact us the day before and explain the itenerary also meeting point, very clear& helpful. Love all the places we visited, enjoy the view very much. Jenny also explained about all places that we visited. Especially love the Blue pond in Biei, Tomica park, Shikisai no oka, Shirahige falls.

experienced snow for october. and the temperature dropped 1.5 degrees, layered clothing is advisable. easy to find both the tour guide and bus. cissy can speak 3 languages 🫡English, Mandarin, and Japanese. our driver was fantastic. the places are awesome when covered with snow. to be better -a little information such as feeding time of the animals can be added

A well-designed itinerary that allows just enough time to enjoy each destination without feeling too rushed. Our wonderful guide James speak three languages including Chinese and English. He's very attentive and helpful. The lavender is already gone in late September but the other flowers are still in bloom. 100% recommended!

The tour was excellent and the best thing is our tour guide, Andy was able to escape us from long queue on lunch and other attractions because his timing was perfect. The places we visited are all beautiful adding in that the sky was clear. VERY WELL RECOMMENDED to do while you are in Hokkaido. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The day trip including lunch to the charming town of Biei covered about 6 attractions. Great value for the price. I really liked the Blue Pond. I truly wouldn't recommend Shikisai-no-Oka in October, there really isn't much to see. Our tour guide, Cinna, was very nice and looked after everyone. Since there were many Korean tourists in this group, there was another lovely Korean guide who was very expressive and spoke a lot. Even though I didn't understand what she was saying, she kept waving both hands goodbye as she saw us off. Both guides took good care of everyone, helped take photos, and introduced each spot. The only area for improvement is that when first contacting tour members, the email sent a WhatsApp link. With so many scams nowadays, I don't click on links like that. Although I missed out on a lot of pre-trip information, I arrived at the meeting point about 20 minutes early on the day of departure. This is a fast-paced yet efficient way to see most of Biei's attractions in a single day. Personally, I love the town of Biei for its peace and tranquility.

Decided to go with Klook for this full day tour to the Asahiyama zoo, patchwork road(Ken & Mary tree), Blue pond, waterfall and elves village.. was pretty fulfilling but its a bit rushed no doubt. But we get to experience the beauty of the blue pond and waterfall w/o worrying about the transport. Guide was pretty friendly and was our photographer for the group pics! Totally would recommend this to all 1st timers in Hokkaido!

The one-day tour itinerary is very well-planned, starting with the zoo and then heading south to check out various attractions along the way. The water at Shirahane Pond makes for great photos, and a 20-minute stop is plenty of time without lingering long enough to cause visual fatigue.
