[Easy Travel]

Blue Pond: Due to the natural minerals in the water and the refraction of light, the lake displays a dreamy blue hue with distinct layers, changing its color depending on the weather and lighting. It is one of Biei's most representative photo spots. We recommend trying the Blue Pond's limited-edition blue soft serve ice cream (at your own expense) while enjoying the lake view – a must-do photo and tasting experience for many travelers.
Shirabe Falls: An underground spring cascades down from between the rock walls, hanging down like a white beard, and flows into the azure river. The water's color changes with the light, making it one of Biei's most representative natural landscapes.
Roller Coaster Road (View from the Car): The straight road stretches along the undulating hills, providing a visual experience as if you were on a roller coaster, allowing you to enjoy the vast rural scenery of Biei from inside the car.
Shikisai-no-Oka: The vast hills are transformed into a vibrant floral carpet, with layers of colorful flowers stretching out to depict Furano's most representative summer scenery. Within the park, visitors can admire adorable alpacas or choose to ride a farm tractor through the flower fields, adding a touch of leisure and childlike fun to the magnificent landscape.
Biei Christmas Tree: A tree stands quietly in the vast fields, a simple yet unforgettable sight, and one of the classic sights you must see when you visit Biei.
Farm Tomita: During lavender blooming season, the air is filled with a delicate floral fragrance. Visitors can enjoy the popular lavender soft serve (at their own expense), turning a Furano summer into a refreshing memory.

FAQ
Biei Blue Pond is captivating year-round, but its most vibrant colors are often seen during the summer months, particularly from June to September. The lush green foliage surrounding the pond enhances its mystical blue hue, making it a spectacular sight. The clear weather and ample daylight of summer provide optimal conditions for photography and enjoying the scenery.
The most convenient way to visit Biei Blue Pond and other attractions without self-driving is by joining a guided day tour departing from Sapporo. This allows you to enjoy comfortable, direct transportation to each scenic spot, such as Shirohige Waterfall and Shikisai-no-Oka, without the complexities of navigating public transport or renting a car. Such tours eliminate transfer hassles and ensure a relaxed sightseeing experience.
To fully appreciate Biei Blue Pond and capture its unique beauty, a recommended visiting duration is approximately 30 to 45 minutes. This allows ample time to stroll along the designated paths, admire the varying shades of blue from different viewpoints, and take photographs of the distinct larch and birch trees submerged in the pond.
At Shikisai-no-Oka during a summer tour, visitors can immerse themselves in expansive, colorful flower fields featuring diverse blooms like lavender, sunflowers, and salvias. You can stroll through the vibrant panoramas, take stunning photos, and enjoy the refreshing summer air amidst the picturesque Biei hills. The vibrant display makes it a memorable experience.
Self-driving is not necessary to visit Biei Blue Pond and Shikisai-no-Oka. Many guided day tours offer comfortable coach transportation directly from Sapporo to these and other popular Biei and Furano attractions. This allows travelers to enjoy the scenic routes, such as the drive-by Roller Coaster Road, without the stress of navigation, parking, or renting a vehicle, ensuring a hassle-free exploration.
Shirohige Waterfall is unique for its "blue beard" effect, where underground water cascades over rock formations into the Biei River, creating an ethereal blue hue. The Lonely Christmas Tree, set against vast, rolling hills, stands as a solitary, picturesque landmark, offering a stunning backdrop for photos, particularly with its seasonal changes. Both offer distinct natural beauty.
The best time to witness the full bloom of lavender fields at Farm Tomita during a summer tour is typically from late June to early August. During this period, the vibrant purple hues blanket the fields, creating breathtaking scenery. Mid-July is often considered the peak season for the most spectacular lavender display.
