Blue Pond, Get to and Return on the same bus

Hi, is it possible to get to blue pond and return from blue pond to biei on the same bus. As i understand that the bus actually goes in a loop.

How long does it takes from bus stop to blue pond? Probably going to stay at Blue Pond for 10 minutes or so.

if you're coming from Asahikawa and taking this bus

Thanks!
