Typhoon Doksuri (Typhoon No. 9) struck the Kanto region on August 23 and also moved northward to affect Hokkaido, impacting the mystical “Blue Pond” (青い池) near Shirahige Onsen in Biei, with its beautiful scenery damaged. The area is not currently open to the public.

The Biei Town Tourism Association has also posted multilingual notices reminding visitors that the Blue Pond has been affected by landslides and is not currently open. Entry is prohibited, and the reopening date remains uncertain.

In recent years, the Blue Pond has become a word-of-mouth mystical destination among travelers and photography enthusiasts. This time, the typhoon has robbed it of its fairy-tale-like beauty. Whether it can regain its former splendor is something many visitors are looking forward to.
