Shirakaba Highway
About 16 kilometers from JR Biei Station is the Shirakaba Highway, a stretch of road approximately four kilometers in length heading towards Shirogane Hot Spring. Shirakaba, which has grown naturally wild from the mud slides of the volcanic eruption of Mt. Tokachi in 1926, has been selected as one of Hokkaido’s top 100 natural sights. You can enjoy bird watching and long forest walks along the pathway which follows the Shirakaba Highway.
