    • [Nov-Mar]Illumination times vary depending on the seasonal sunset and local circumstances, so viewing the light-up is not guaranteed depending on the time of your visit.
    • [Nov-Mar]As there will be a lot of walking on snowy and icy roads, please wear non-slip winter boots or hiking shoes for your safety.

Activity itinerary

Sunagawa Service Area (Northbound)

  • 15m
A convenient rest stop offering rest & snack time.

Biei Station

  • 1h
Surrounding the station are small local restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and souvenir shops, making it a convenient place for lunch and rest. Arriving after peak hours allows guests to dine comfortably without long queues, choosing freely from guide-recommended local eateries.

Mild Seven Hill

  • 15m
[** Included in Nov-Mar & Biei Signature(Apr-Oct) Course **] Mild Seven Hill is a gently rolling landscape located in Biei, once used in a famous Japanese cigarette commercial. In winter, the farmland is covered in pure white snow, creating wide open views with minimal visual distractions. Its soft slopes and simple composition make it one of the most photographed winter scenery spots in Biei.

Christmas tree

  • 20m
[** Included in Nov-Mar Course **] The Christmas Tree is a single spruce tree standing alone in an open field near Mild Seven Hill. During winter, the surrounding snow-covered farmland highlights the tree’s silhouette, creating a calm and minimalist landscape. It is especially popular for photography due to its seasonal appearance resembling a Christmas tree.

Shirahige Waterfall

  • 25m
[** Included in All Course **] Shirahige Waterfall is located in the Shirogane Onsen area and flows directly from underground springs into the Biei River. Unlike typical waterfalls, the water seeps through rocks, forming thin white streams against blue-tinted water. In winter, snow and ice contrast with the flowing water, and evening lighting adds a soft glow to the scenery.

Shirogane Blue Pond

  • 30m
[** Included in All Course **] The Blue Pond was originally created as part of erosion control work near Mount Tokachi. Its distinctive colour comes from natural minerals in the water reflecting light. In winter, the pond surface is frozen and covered with snow, but seasonal illumination allows visitors to experience a different atmosphere after sunset.

Roadside station Biei Shirogane Biruke

  • 20m
[** Included in Nov-Mar Course **] The Ceramic Tree, also known as Shirogane Birke, is a large artificial structure resembling a tree, located near the Blue Pond area. It was designed as a landscape art installation and is illuminated during winter evenings. The lighting highlights its unique surface and structure, making it visible from a distance in the snowy landscape.

Biei Farm

  • 30m
[** Included in Biei Signature(Apr-Oct) Course **] A tranquil and uncommercialized local farm where you can watch cows roaming freely across expansive grasslands, offering a glimpse into everyday Hokkaido life.

Shikisai no Oka

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
[** Included in Biei Signature(Apr-Oct) Course **] A famous panoramic flower garden located on rolling hills. During spring, it offers stunning, colourful views from high ground that are perfect for photography. During Jul-Sep, admission fee is required.

Furano Cheese Craft Center

  • 40m
[** Included in Biei Furano(Apr-May & Sep-Oct) Course **] Nestled in a picturesque birch forest, this facility allows you to taste delicious, freshly made local cheese and Hokkaido milk gelato.

Farm Tomita

  • 40m
[** Included in Biei Furano(Jun-Aug) Course **] A world-famous farm renowned for its massive, breathtaking rainbow fields of lavender and brightly coloured seasonal flowers.

Ningle Terrace

  • 40m
[** Included in Biei Furano Course **] A romantic, fairy-tale-like shopping village featuring traditional artisan log cabins connected by wooden walkways, hidden beautifully inside a deep forest.
