Biei Town, located in the northern Hokkaido region, is world-famous for its undulating hilly landscapes and picturesque pastoral scenery. Here, it not only features mysterious “azure blue” lakes, but also possesses rainbow-like earth flower carpets spanning across seasons.
Because Biei’s attractions are distributed across the vast “Patchwork Road” and “Panorama Road,” there is a lack of dense public transportation between scenic spots. If you wish to efficiently capture classic advertisement scenes such as the “Seven Stars Tree” or the “Christmas Tree” within a single day, choosing a “Biei Patchwork Road Private Car Charter Day Tour” has already become the absolute top choice for deep travelers and photography enthusiasts.
Through professional car charter services, you can not only avoid the physical consumption of cycling under the blazing sun. Led comfortably by a professional driver, you can also go deep into rural paths that buses cannot enter, capturing the purest northern slow-living times.
Flower Fields and Photography Art: The Blue Beauty of Shirogane Blue Pond
Shirogane Blue Pond: The Mysterious Azure Blue to Visit Once in a Lifetime
Shirogane Blue Pond: Due to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Tokachi in 1988, embankments were constructed along the Biei River, generating several artificial ponds, and the Blue Pond was formed as a result.
The scenery of the woods and the blue sky with white clouds reflect on the azure blue lake water just like a mirror. Coupled with the tranquil environment and the embrace of grand nature, it allows every arriving traveler to let go of all worries. The Blue Pond is also praised as an “attraction to visit once in a lifetime.”
Shirahige Falls: The Geothermal Wonder That Never Freezes
Shirahige Falls: It presents completely different beautiful scenes across the four seasons. It displays an azure water surface during summer. Even when stepping into winter and welcoming blizzards, Shirahige Falls remains a non-freezing waterfall.
Under the coverage of white snow, the trees next to the waterfall look like greyish-white beards due to freezing. Overlooking from the nearby iron bridge allows you to close-up observe the waterfall flowing down from a high place. Coupled with the roaring sound of plunging water, it leaves people deeply shocked.






Shikisai-no-Oka: A Rainbow Flower Carpet Spread Across the Earth
Shikisai-no-Oka: A must-visit attraction in spring and summer. It is patched together into a beautiful scene by undulating flower beds. The vast flower fields will transform into glamorous patterns from spring to autumn due to blooming flowers, just like a rainbow fully spread across the earth. When winter arrives, this place will transform into a silver-white snow paradise, allowing you to experience various ice and snow activities.
Takushinkan: Paying Tribute to Photography Master Shinzo Maeda
Takushinkan (White Birch Forest): Takushinkan is a building commemorating a photography master, “Shinzo Maeda,” who introduced the beautiful scenery of Biei to the entire world. Takushinkan was modified from the originally abandoned former Chiyoda Elementary School.
Its appearance looks like a church, and the interior exhibits Master Maeda’s works and photographs of Biei. In addition, over two thousand white birch trees are planted outside the hall. Strolling inside the white birch forest also makes one’s mood become cheerful.









Patchwork Road: Seeking Star Trees Inside Famous Advertisements
Patchwork Road: Traveling in Biei, you can absolutely see countless pastoral beautiful scenes. Located in the northwestern part of Biei Town, “Patchwork Road” is named because the undulating farmlands are fully planted with different crops and flowers.
Every year when the spring and autumn seasons arrive, blooming flowers cause each field to generate completely different colors, just like pieces of cloth of different colors patched together.
Through the Biei Patchwork Road Private Car Charter Day Tour, you can easily hunt for trees within the crisscrossing farmlands, locating classic landmarks such as the “Seven Stars Tree,” “Ken & Mary Tree,” “Parent-Child Tree,” “Mild Seven Hill (Mild Seven Forest),” and the “Christmas Tree”!
Chiyoda Farm: A Healing Paradise for Close-Up Animal Encounters
Chiyoda Farm (ファームズ千代田 ふれあい牧場): An attraction highly suitable for family-friendly tours. You can close-up encounter animals such as ponies, cows, sheep, goats, and rabbits.
Visitors can purchase food inside the ranch to feed them. You can also participate in cow milking experiences and food processing experience activities. The observation deck “Chiyoda Hill” inside the ranch allows you to admire the beautiful scenery of the ranch and grand nature.
