- Biei Station - The area around the station is filled with local restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and souvenir shops, making it an ideal spot for lunch and relaxation. Arriving after peak hours allows guests to enjoy meals without long waits, choosing from guide-recommended local dining options.
- Mild Seven Hill - [Included in Dec-Mar & Biei Signature(Apr-Oct) Course] Mild Seven Hill is a gently rolling landscape in Biei, famously featured in a Japanese cigarette commercial. In winter, the farmland is blanketed in pristine white snow, offering expansive views with minimal distractions. Its gentle slopes and simple composition make it a popular spot for winter photography in Biei.
- Christmas Tree - [Included in Dec-Mar Course] The Christmas Tree is a solitary spruce tree standing in an open field near Mild Seven Hill. In winter, the snow-covered farmland accentuates the tree’s silhouette, creating a serene and minimalist landscape. It is especially favored for photography due to its seasonal resemblance to a Christmas tree.
- Shirahige Waterfall - [Included in All Course] Shirahige Waterfall is located in the Shirogane Onsen area, flowing directly from underground springs into the Biei River. Unlike typical waterfalls, the water seeps through rocks, forming thin white streams against blue-tinted water. In winter, snow and ice contrast with the flowing water, and evening lighting adds a gentle glow to the scenery.
- Shirogane Blue Pond - [Included in All Course] The Blue Pond was originally created as part of erosion control work near Mount Tokachi. Its unique color is due to natural minerals in the water reflecting light. In winter, the pond’s surface is frozen and covered with snow, but seasonal illumination offers a different atmosphere after sunset.
- Roadside Station Biei Shirogane Biruke - [Included in Dec-Mar Course] The Ceramic Tree, also known as Shirogane Birke, is a large artificial structure resembling a tree, located near the Blue Pond area. It was designed as a landscape art installation and is illuminated during winter evenings. The lighting highlights its unique surface and structure, making it visible from afar in the snowy landscape.
- Biei Farm - [Included in Biei Signature(Apr-Oct) Course] A peaceful and uncommercialized local farm where visitors can watch cows roaming freely across vast grasslands, offering a glimpse into everyday life in Hokkaido.
- Shikisai no Oka - [Included in Biei Signature(Apr-Oct) Course] A renowned panoramic flower garden located on rolling hills. In spring, it provides stunning, colorful views from high ground, perfect for photography. During Jul-Sep, an admission fee is required.
- Furano Cheese Craft Center - [Included in Biei Furano(Apr-May & Sep-Oct) Course] Nestled in a picturesque birch forest, this facility offers the chance to taste delicious, freshly made local cheese and Hokkaido milk gelato.
- Farm Tomita - [Included in Biei Furano(Jun-Aug) Course] A world-famous farm known for its vast, breathtaking rainbow fields of lavender and brightly colored seasonal flowers.
- Ningle Terrace - [Included in Biei Furano Course] A romantic, fairy-tale-like shopping village featuring traditional artisan log cabins connected by wooden walkways, beautifully hidden within a deep forest.
