| The only strawberry picking experience in Biei *40-minute session | Located in Biei, Hokkaido, amidst beautiful rolling hills, Marukita Strawberry Farm offers a strawberry picking experience that’s perfect for creating lasting memories of your trip. The fully ripened strawberries, carefully cultivated in greenhouses, are rich in sweetness and aroma, and with just one bite, their juicy flavor fills your mouth. Set amidst the lush natural surroundings of Biei, the time spent picking your favorite strawberries with your own hands is a precious experience that both adults and children can enjoy. Since the greenhouse cultivation is largely unaffected by the weather, you can enjoy a comfortable visit even on rainy days. It’s highly recommended not only for family trips but also for couples and groups of friends. Enjoy a memorable time savoring the seasonal flavors unique to Hokkaido while taking in the beautiful scenery of Biei. |
| A Moving Experience at the Mystical “Blue Pond” | With its mystical cobalt-blue waters stretching out before you, this is one of Hokkaido’s most iconic tourist attractions. The Blue Pond, which reveals different facets depending on the season and weather, is a breathtaking spot that captivates photography enthusiasts. Larch trees and dead standing trees lining the water’s edge create a fantastical landscape, allowing visitors to enjoy a beauty that resembles a painting. Since being featured as a desktop background for Apple’s Mac in 2012, Biei’s “Blue Pond” has become a popular destination attracting tourists from all over the world. The ethereal blue hue created by sunlight reflecting off the crystal-clear water makes for a picturesque subject with any camera. Photography Tip: The pond appears its bluest and most vibrant in the morning on sunny days. We recommend composing your shot to highlight the contrast between the dead trees and the blue water. |
| The “Shirahige Falls” power spot is a must-see | “A Mysterious Cobalt-Blue Spectacle! ‘Shirahige Falls,’ Where the Biei River Flows, Is a Must-See Power Spot” Shirahige Falls, a popular tourist spot in Biei Town, captivates visitors with its magical scenery of water cascading down through cracks in the rock face. Named for its resemblance to a white beard, visitors can enjoy a close-up view of this impressive waterfall, which plunges approximately 30 meters. The contrast with the beautiful blue river into which the waterfall flows creates a breathtaking view, offering a different charm with each passing season. |
| Enjoy nature at “Farm Tomita” | You can fully enjoy sightseeing at one of Japan’s largest and most breathtaking lavender fields! You can savor the distinct appearances and scents of four different varieties of lavender, including the “Deep Purple Early Bloomer” with its dense clusters of deep purple flowers, and the “Okamura-murasaki,” which sways in the breeze like waves and has a strong fragrance. Purple lavender, white baby’s breath, and red poppies are arranged in bands along the gentle slopes, creating a picturesque, breathtaking view that resembles a rainbow carpet. The garden, adorned with lavender and a variety of seasonal flowers, is incredibly photogenic. With a wide selection of lavender products and sweets, this is a tourist spot where you can fully enjoy the unique charm of Furano while strolling through the grounds. |
