Biei is a picturesque town in Hokkaido famous for vast rolling hills, pristine snowfields, and dreamlike winter scenery. This tour is a full-day sightseeing journey that departs late in the morning from Sapporo and efficiently visits Biei’s most iconic winter photo spots, including waterfalls, illuminated landscapes, and popular hills. Ideal for travelers who prefer a relaxed start, stunning winter photography, and a stress-free way to explore Biei in one day.
Why this tour?

▲ Biei Christmas Tree
The Christmas Tree of Biei is an iconic solitary tree standing gracefully in a vast snowy field. This spot is especially popular for winter photography, offering a minimalist and serene composition that captures Biei’s quiet beauty.
