If visiting between December 1 and March 31, 2024, view the Ken & Mary Tree from the vehicle. Then, visit Four Seasons Hill (approx. 40 minutes). When winter blankets the area in snow, the hill transforms into a snow paradise, offering snowmobiles, sledding, and other activities for everyone to enjoy the snow and nature. - Blue Pond - Seasonal limited: (trip from Apr.1st to Nov.30th)
Biei Blue Pond and Shirahige Falls
From April 1 to November 30, your next destination is Biei Aoike. Spend about 30 minutes exploring this pond, created to intercept volcanic magma. Capture the breathtaking blue water and compare it to the famous default MacBook photo.
Then, proceed to the Furano area to visit the majestic Shirahige Falls. Situated 600 meters above sea level in the white gold hot spring town of Miei Town, it is named “White Beard Falls” due to the white whisker-like water cascading from the rock crevices. The water, gushing from the ground and splashing against the rocks, creates a blue glow of spray. The mountains are lush green in summer and snowy white in winter, offering a beautiful contrast between the two seasons.
- Ningle Terrace - Conclude your tour with a visit to the iconic Ningle Terrace (closed from 4th Nov to 29th Nov) in Furano. Discover this workshop inspired by a character in the novels of Japanese writer Satoshi Kuramoto. Wander through the chalets and small shops to purchase a handmade souvenir to commemorate your Hokkaido adventure.
After selecting your perfect souvenir, return to Sapporo.
