Shining tree in front of JR Biei Station

Biei Town is famous for its hills in Hokkaido. There are many beautiful landscapes created by nature, but do you know about the illuminated Christmas tree in front of JR Biei Station that is lit up from December? It is beautiful and you can truly experience the atmosphere of the Christmas season in Biei. Winter in Hokkaido is cold, but the sub-zero air is clear and the white of the snow and the glow of the illuminations look beautiful. To protect yourself from the cold, you should bring a down jacket, gloves, scarf, hat, disposable body warmer, etc.

This tree is actually a confession spot. There is a heart at the top of the tree and a button on the box at the bottom of the tree. If both of you press the "YES" or "NO" button at the same time, the entire heart on the tree will light up. Why don't you give it a try?

Biei has a lot to offer in winter!

There are many other spectacular sights in Biei, a town of hills, that can only be seen in winter! Why don't you take the "Biyu Bus," a regular sightseeing bus that tours around Biei, and enjoy the unique winter scenery of Biei? The "Biyu Bus" starts from the "Shiki no Johokan" (Information Center of the Four Seasons), which is a 1-minute walk from JR Biei Station, so it is very convenient. The bus will take you to "Shirohige Falls" and "Aoi Ike (Blue Pond)" in the Shirogane area, which are must-see spots in Biei in winter!

Why don't you visit Biei in winter this year and enjoy the illumination of the Christmas tree in front of the Biei Station while touring around the fantastic snowy landscape and spectacular scenery?
