Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) and shirahige waterfall with the beautiful mountain range in the background
The pond is actually that blue!! It’s so beautiful. Unfortunately has become a bit of a tourist hot spot! So busy!!! Found the waterfall on google maps and drove up for a quick look. So happy we did. Same water that feeds the pond so the same beautiful colour. The clouds also cleared so we were able to see the volcano in the background as well
