【Elf Terrace】
If you visit Hokkaido in winter, don't miss the enchanting Fairy Terrace with its warm yellow lanterns in the snow, the fairy cottages hidden in the forest, and the crunching sound of your footsteps on the snow – it's a real-life winter wonderland!
【Hill of Four Seasons】
Shikisai-no-Oka (Four Seasons Hill) is a tourist attraction in Biei, Hokkaido, famous for its colorful flower fields. Spanning approximately 7 hectares, over 30 varieties of flowers bloom from April to October each year, creating a vibrant sea of color. During the winter months of December to March, when the area is covered in snow, it transforms into a snow park, offering snowmobile experiences for an additional fee.
Christmas tree
The "Lonely Christmas Tree" in Biei is one of the most famous photo spots in Hokkaido. It is a solitary spruce tree in a field, named for its resemblance to a Christmas tree.
Whitebeard Waterfall
It is named "White Beard Waterfall" because the water cascades down from the crevices of the rocks like a white beard.
【Blue Pond Lighting】
Platinum Blue Pool attracts visitors year-round with its dreamy "azure lake water + larch trees" due to the light refraction caused by minerals in the water. In winter, the lake freezes over and is covered with snow, making it difficult to see the typical blue lake surface during the day. However, the nighttime light show blends the ice and snow, the water surface, the dead trees and the night sky into another dreamlike scene, as beautiful as a fairy tale.
