Nestled in Biei, #Hokkaido, the Blue Pond (Aoi-ike) is a surreal, milk-blue body of water that looks like something from a dream. Its striking color isn’t natural, it’s the result of aluminum hydroxide particles suspended in the water, a byproduct of erosion control efforts after the 1988 eruption of Mount Tokachi. The minerals scatter sunlight, creating that mesmerizing turquoise hue, which intensifies on sunny days.
A must-see for photographers and nature lovers!

@Multiplexer if you happen to find it again, try to eat the leaves after you steeped them, adding some soy sauce: they are extremely tasty!
