Mita, Biei-cho, Japan
[Included in Nov-Mar & Biei Signature(Apr-Oct) Course] Mild Seven Hill is a gently rolling landscape located in Biei, once used in a famous Japanese cigarette commercial. In winter, the farmland is covered in pure white snow, creating wide open views with minimal visual distractions. Its soft slopes and simple composition make it one of the most photographed winter scenery spots in Biei.
The Christmas Tree is a single spruce tree standing alone in an open field near Mild Seven Hill. During winter, the surrounding snow-covered farmland highlights the tree’s silhouette, creating a calm and minimalist landscape. It is especially popular for photography due to its seasonal appearance resembling a Christmas tree.
Shirahige Waterfall is located in the Shirogane Onsen area and flows 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 soft glow to the scenery.
Shirogane, Biei-cho, Japan
[Included in All Course] The Blue Pond was originally created as part of erosion control work near Mount Tokachi. Its distinctive color comes from natural minerals in the water reflecting light. In winter, the pond surface is frozen and covered with snow, but seasonal illumination allows visitors to experience a different atmosphere after sunset.
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 a distance in the snowy landscape.
