Biei Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Shirahige Waterfall, Biei, Sapporo🇯🇵

When visiting Shirahige Waterfall in Sapporo, be prepared to witness a stunning natural wonder. Shirahige Falls, known as the "white beard waterfall," offers a unique experience with white curtains of water cascading through the cliff. In winter, the waterfall transforms into a magical sight with frost-covered trees and shimmering icicles enhancing the blue ravine below. After exploring the falls, you can head to nearby Biei Shirogane Onsen, a natural hot spring rich in minerals, offering a relaxing bath amidst the snowy landscape. You really don’t want to miss out the awesome onsen. ❤️ #awesomepic #sapporo #winterwonderland #biei #snow #snow #japan

Have you seen a frozen waterfall?

Shirahige waterfall is absolutely phenomenal and it was so breathtaking! The moment I walked up the bridge I can feel the fresh stream blowing toward my face, it was so refreshing and cold here. I like the formation of ice at the side of the waterfall, this is something new to me and I’m so glad that I came here. To be honest, there’s nothing very much to do here, people come here mainly just to enjoy the Walter fall, so do take note that there’s no toilet around here. I think it’s worth coming here if you like nature and if its along your way to the next attraction. I came here during winter, not sure how it will look like on other seasons. It’s a very chill and nice place, I think my phone is not able to capture how beautiful the scenery is, come and see it yourself! :)

Shirahige Waterfall

#thingstodo It was my very first trip before when I haven't discovered much of Hokkaido yet, so was excited when I found this place. It's beautiful, with convenient parking across the street. Not too crowded on a weekday either. It was also rainy the day we went though. The bridge is sturdy but it is built upwards, so may feel weird to some while walking across it. There is also a 286 step staircase close by but it doesn't lead to a nicer view, just a parking lot. It was a nice exercise though! Overall, worth the quick stop to see a beautiful waterfall and river.

Shirogane Pond

#thingstodo Beautiful and worth a visit, however, keep in mind that its probably the best if it is sunny and not too cloudy. If you are dependent on public transportation take attention to the bus schedule from Asahikawa to the Blue Pond. It takes a while and not too many rides go per day. If you go, combine it with a nice hike and the Shirahige Waterfall.

Picturesque pond in Hokkaido

#2024wish This is Shirogane Blue Pond in Hokkaido. A beautiful pond with an amazing blue water color hue. There are some trails to explore nature surrounding the pond. There's a public restroom and big parking lot in the vicinity. We went here in summer. Transportation is hard if you don't have a car tho. We literally had to wait hours to go back to our hotel. In 2024, I wish I could win this wish giveaway 🙏

A beautiful blue Pond

A lovely place to take a relaxing stroll along the artificially created blue pond and it's tranquil surroundings. The blue water is an effect of the aluminum that has seeped into the water and reflected from the sunlight. Recommended for a nice quick visit for some photography opportunities. There is also public toilets available a this area. Parking Fee : 500 yen per car 🚗 Entry Fee : Free Nearby : Restaurant, Cafe , Ice-Cream shop🍔🍦

This place looks stunning all year

Shikisai No Oka

#celebratewithtrip Shikisai No Oka is a large touristy flower farm. Nice place to take photos when not crowded. It's a magical experience to witness all the of the natural beauty in just one place and we got the chance to view the whole place in a hired buggy. Colours of the flowers make us smile & feel pleasant. Love it !! #furano #japan #friendstrip #2015

We visited Shikisai no Oka upon recommendation by the Biei Tourism Office. It was the prettiest out of the flower fields we visited including Tomita & Zerubu. We took the tram ride (¥500 per pax) and the views were magnificent. It was extremely crowded though and yes, a lot of tourists. They have a gift shop and some food stalls. Entrance is free. I don't mind paying for the rides as the workers there really worked hard to plant those beautiful flowers. Definitely recommended if you're deciding which flower farm to head to. #givethanks #givethanks

Shikisai Hill

#thingstodo Colorful and picturesque blooming flower fields that stretch on top of rolling hills slopes. The area is vast and walkable, there are options to rent self driven golf carts or join a tour. Parking and entrance each cost 500 yen and can be paid at the machines. There is a souvenir shop, a small coffee shop and toilets. There is also an alpaca farm, which costs extra, next to the entrance.

Biei is a town located in Hokkaido, people usually come for the trees with special meanings and shapes in winter.

Biei is a very small town located in Hokkaido, Japan. They are known because of their landscaping of fields. The country side of life in Japan what makes me interested here. the best time to visit is July and August. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

Shikisai no Oka is probably the most famous flower field in Biei which covers seven hectares of gardens and is planted with dozens of flowers. In summer, Shikisai no Oka is the ocean of flowers. However in winter, Shikisai no Oka is the cover of snow.

Walking through the pure white of the winter, the world is multicolored, only it is pure white. Mei has many famous trees, such as the Seven Star Tree, the Ken and Mary Tree, the Parent Tree, the Soft Seven Star Hill, the Christmas Tree, the Philosophy Tree, etc.~

Patchwork no Michi is interesting yet I do not know how to pinpoint it. It is not just a place, it is more like an area. If you drive, start from Furano National Highway and go round Omura, Yubari, Mita, even Ishiyama area, you can drive slowly 35-40 to enjoy the view. It is like what you will see when you are standing on a higher ground and look down to rolls of hills and fields and frankly that was my feeling. You can see the brown newly plough lands, the new saplings, the first greens, some with flowers but the fields are being segmented and looked like my mum's quilt patch work - it was amazing and you just go WOW. Do spend about 2-4 hours driving round, passing the trees (Ken & Mary, Oak, Parent & Child) - unfortunately nothing impressive about them, but yet they have the added advantage of just being trees along the road over looking into the grass patches. It just complete the picturesque frame, not forgetting bales of hay. I guess this place is always good to drive around anytime of the year as it gives you a different perspective of life. #givethanks #givethanks

[Summer Hokkaido | Beautiful Flower Field Ride] Summer is coming, and the lavender in Hokkaido will enter the full bloom period for more than half a month. It is just for the summer vacation, especially for couples and personal travel. Furano and Biei in Hokkaido are the most famous flower viewing places, plus the superposition of summer holidays and flower seasons. Let the sister's favorite and unforgettable is the beautiful road of the patchwork Just like the name, the flower fields of different colors are like pieces of cloth. The best way to visit is to rent a bicycle. Riding, but renting a bicycle should be early, and the car may be rented after the night. Its really shocking to see the Fufu Mountain Road and the endless colored fields.
