Sapporo to Biei: Guide to capturing the Christmas tree hotspot

Premise: Take my daughter to visit the Christmas tree in Biei! It's not cost-effective to rent a car for just two people, but if six people rent a seven-seater car, it's definitely more cost-effective than taking the JR Shinkansen! If there are six people, there's no need to look at the guide, just check the location and go directly? 🌟Depart from Sapporo JR in the morning and buy a ticket directly to Biei Station for about 6,500 yen per person (tip~transfer directly in Asahikawa without leaving the station, and find the platform heading to Furano on the information board. It is not recommended to buy a round-trip ticket for visiting two attractions). Alternatively, it is recommended to buy a Hokkaido tourist pass, which can save money for visiting two places. 🌟When you arrive at Biei Station, there is a taxi stand outside the exit. Show the taxi driver the picture and he will take you there. The fare is about 3000 yen. 🌟After shooting the Christmas tree, let the taxi wait for you for a while. Ask him to take you to Mimaushi Station and show him the picture. Mimaushi is an unmanned station, with only one train every half hour after noon, so you can take pictures freely. The pictures were taken on the railway at Mimaushi Station. When waiting for the bus back to Asahikawa at the Meimanushi Station, remember that only 1000 yen bills are accepted for boarding at unmanned stations, and bills with denominations of 5000/10000 yen are not accepted. I went directly to the Biei-Ma Station, and from there it's only 1.9 kilometers to the Christmas Tree, which costs 700 yen. I asked the driver to wait for a while, took some photos, and then took a car to Furano and back to Sapporo. However, you need to call a taxi yourself at the Biei-Ma Station, and there is a phone number on the station ticket to call a local taxi, which requires Japanese language proficiency. I saw a tourism supervisor on the road and asked her to help me call a taxi.
