• Ken & Mary Tree - The Ken and Mary Tree in Biei is one of Hokkaido’s most iconic scenic spots, gaining fame from a 1970s car commercial that highlighted its unique shape and picturesque setting.

• Shirogane Blue Pond - Located in Biei on the left bank of the Biei River, the Blue Pond is one of Hokkaido’s most captivating natural wonders. Its vivid blue color results from natural minerals in the water reflecting sunlight, creating a surreal, almost otherworldly view that changes shades with the seasons and weather. Formed by a protective dam built to control volcanic flow from nearby Mount Tokachidake, the pond features submerged tree trunks emerging from the calm blue surface, enhancing its mystical appearance. Visitors are often mesmerized by how the water shifts between turquoise, cobalt, and emerald hues as light moves across it. In winter, the snow-covered surroundings create a serene contrast, transforming the pond into a tranquil, dreamlike landscape.
