Shirogane Blue Pond, Hokkaidō, Japan
Hokkaidō is the second largest island of Japan. Situated in the far north, it's a vast and relatively untouched wilderness approximately 40 times bigger than Tokyo but with only a third of the population. If you're planning to visit this enchanting region, then be sure to check out the Blue Pond (Aoi-ike), named so because of the natural minerals that turn the water into a beautiful blue lagoon. You can find it on the outskirts of Shirogane Onsen, a hot spring town in Kamikawa District.
