Admission Ticket Included

Biei-cho

From April 1st to November 30th, tour will visit Biei Aoike (about 30 minutes) Located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, it was formed by a dam built to intercept volcanic magma. Under sunlight, the water in the pool will turn blue, giving it its name. Aoike was once photographed by National Geographic photographer Kent Shiraishi. Remark!Let's follow [tourist etiquette] together and visit the town of Hillside Biei! The pastoral scenery of Biei is a unique landscape created by farmers cultivating delicious crops. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of tourists who have accidentally entered farmland to take pictures of beautiful scenery. This movement not only harms the crops, but also tramples the hard work and sweat of farmers. Therefore, please adhere to the following tourist etiquette and let us preserve the original beauty of the countryside together.

Ningle Terrace

Forest Elf Terrace (about 30 minutes) Ningle Terrace in Furano is a handmade forest experience workshop inspired by the character in the novels of Japanese writer Satoshi Kuramoto ( a 15cm elf living in a large forest). The cabins here are small shops one by one, selling unique small goods, basically all handmade, such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand paintings, and crafts made of Furano’s dried lavender flowers. Each shop is small and exquisite, and everything is sold only here and there will not be a second one. The lights in the evening are very romantic.
