The city
Biei is a small town of agricultural hills between Asahikawa and Furano, at the foot of the Tokachi range. Striped fields form the landscape along Patchwork Road to the north and Shikisai-no-oka to the south, covered in flower beds. On the way to the mountains lies Shirogane’s Blue Pond, with milky-blue water among dead trunks.

The local experience
An artificial lake at the foot of the Tokachi mountain range, with milky-blue water and dead larch trunks rising from the surface. The color comes from minerals in the hot-spring water. A few minutes away are Shirahige Falls and the Shirogane hot springs.
A roughly 15-hectare hill south of Biei, covered in flower beds in bands of color from spring to autumn, with views of the Tokachi range.
A network of rural roads north of central Biei, among fields of different colors that resemble a patchwork quilt. Isolated trees used in advertisements, such as Ken and Mary and the Seven Stars Tree, have become stopping points.
