| Experience the Mystical | A mystical cobalt blue water surface spreads out at this representative tourist attraction of Hokkaido. The Blue Pond, which shows various expressions depending on the season and weather, is a spectacular spot that captivates even photography enthusiasts. Biei's "Blue Pond" became a popular destination for tourists from around the world after being adopted as Apple's Mac desktop wallpaper in 2012. The fantastical blue color created by highly transparent water reflecting sunlight makes for a photogenic subject with any camera. Photography Tips: The pond appears most brilliantly blue on sunny mornings. We recommend compositions that take advantage of the contrast between the dead standing trees and the blue water surface. |
| Hokkaido's Representative Photo Spot | An iconic single tree used in famous photographer Shinzo Maeda's works and numerous commercial shoots. Experience the magnificent Hokkaido landscape with the majestic Tokachi mountain range as a backdrop. It became known as the "Ken and Mary Tree" after being used in a Nissan Skyline commercial in the 1970s. This single tree standing on a gentle hill continues to fascinate countless photographers as a symbol of Biei's pastoral landscape. Photography Tips: Shooting against the light in the evening beautifully highlights the tree's silhouette. Using a wide-angle lens to emphasize the contrast between the hill's expanse and the single tree creates more impressive photos |
| Perfect for SNS! | A spectacular view of gentle hills and birch tree-lined roads that became famous through tobacco commercials. A classic photo spot in Biei, Hokkaido, where you can enjoy seasonal beauty. Now a popular spot in the area called "Patchwork Road." The beautiful contrast of S-curved roads and birch tree-lined avenues has gained attention as a popular photography spot on social media platforms like Instagram. Photography Tips: Shooting from an elevated viewpoint beautifully captures the S-curve. Mystical photos can also be taken in the early morning when morning mist rises or in the evening when illuminated by the sunset. |
| Must-See Power Spot | "Mystical Cobalt Blue Spectacular View! The 'Shirahige Falls' flowing into the Biei River is a must-see power spot" A rare waterfall where underground water seeping through rock crevices flows vigorously into the beautiful blue Biei River (Blue River). In winter, the waterfall freezes, creating a fantastical illuminated ice fall. A mystical tourist attraction representing Biei that you'll want to visit together with the "Blue Pond." |
| Enjoy Nature at “Farm Tomita” (Departures from July onward only) | You can fully enjoy sightseeing at one of Japan’s largest and most impressive lavender fields! You can savor the distinct appearances and scents of four different varieties of lavender, including densely packed deep-purple varieties and the strongly fragrant “Okamurasaki,” which sways in the breeze to create a wave-like effect. Purple lavender, white baby’s breath, and red poppies are arranged in bands across the gentle slopes, creating a picturesque, breathtaking view that resembles a rainbow-colored carpet. |
