    Hokkaido Kamikawagumbieichou Shinsei number 3
    Visitors to Shikisai-no-oka in the summer can enjoy the beautiful vistas of colorful flower fields, while in the winter they can experience standing in the midst of a vast expanse of snow. Besides the extensive flower gardens, farmers’ fields and Alpaca ranch, Shikisai-no-oka also has a farm guesthouse where visitors can stay. The farm shop sells vegetables grown locally, as well as other products sourced directly from local farmers. Shikisai-no-oka is located 25 minutes’ walk from JR Bibaushi Station.

    I will not recommend to visit in Spring. I visited on 24 May and there was hardly any flowers to see. There is some local produce from the farm like Asparagus and Potatoes for sale as well as other...

    Oozo, Biei-cho, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido
    Open from late-April to early-October, visitors to Hill of Zerubu and Hill of Atoms can gaze over the nature of Mt Asahidake and the Tokachi Mountain Range while surrounded by beautiful fields of flowers. They’re located about a 50-minute drive on National Route 237 from the Asahikawa-Takasu Interchange on the Hokkaido Expressway. Alternatively, it’s a five-minute taxi or 35-minute walk from the JR Biei Station.

    Its free of charge and close to Biei center, offers some flower fields with less crowds than other famous places like Tomita farm and Shikiasai no Oka.

    Hokkaido Kamikawagunkamikawachou Kikusui 841-8
    At Daisetsu Mori-no Garden you can enjoy flowers from season to season in the five themed gardens of Mori-no hanazono, and the five areas of Mori-no geihinkan. There are approximately 700 kinds of flowers planted here, and in the Taisetsu-no niwa garden you can enjoy alpine plants seen growing on Mt. Daisetsu and species of plant life native to Hokkaido. The Shikino Sumiko area is divided into zones according to the plant’s flowering period so you can enjoy flowers of every season. The area called Hanano Izumi, or Fountain of Flowers, symbolizes a spring using plants which grow across the ground like water pouring forth from the earth. Shitashimino Niwa, or The Familiar Garden, as the name suggests, is a garden in which you feel as if you can get close to and enjoy the scent of the flowers. The Kamuimintara garden expresses the idea of ‘a garden where the Gods play’ where the true flavor of Hokkaido can be enjoyed.

    We decided to visit this garden also known as Daisetsu Mori no Garden before and after our lunch at the Fratello di Mikuni restaurant. While the garden was not super big, it was not small either...

    Hokkaido Kamikawagumbieichou Hokuei number 3
    The “Patchwork Road” runs over the hills of Biei, with a beautiful patchwork of different-colored crops in the fields beside the road. The Seven Stars Tree stands on one of these rolling hills. The tree was given this name after a photo of it was used on Seven Stars cigarette packets in 1976; its rounded silhouette adds an extra touch of beauty to the peaceful scene.

    Hokkaido Kamikawa-gun Kamikawacho Sounkyo
    This famous spot for viewing the red leaves of Autumn is located at an altitude of 1260 meters, almost in the very center of Hokkaido. It has a breathtakingly superb view of Daisetsuzan National Park, Japan's largest national park. This area, also known as The Roof of Hokkaido, is in an area where the most snow falls in all of Hokkaido. It is also famous as the site of the inn, Daisetsu Kogen Sanso, which is only open 123 days a year. The summers are short, and the autumn leaves come earliest here, creating a world of primary colors like a painting. During the peak autumn leaves viewing period, this area bustles with many mountain climbers as one of the most famous spots in Hokkaido.

  • Ginsendai
    Travel / Tourism
    Hokkaido Kamikawagunkamikawachou Sounkyou
    A spot famous for its beautiful autumn foliage located in the area of the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group. Also known as Akadake, in fall the entire area turns crimson with the changing of the leaves. During the peak fall foliage period in mid-September, the road connecting to Ginsendai from the national road is closed to general traffic. The preferred sightseeing route during this time is to park in the Daisetsu Lake Site parking area and take the shuttle bus from there. Taking just ten minutes to climb up the mountain road from the parking area, the shuttle bus drops you off at a perfect spot for taking in the beautiful ridge of Akadake.

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
