Biei

The Tokachi volcanic group defines the setting of Biei — its foothills give way to broad cultivated slopes, where farms and narrow roads pattern central Hokkaido. Biei is known across Japan for these rolling fields, producing potatoes, wheat and sweetcorn; their changing colours inspired the touring route called Patchwork Road. Shikisai no Oka, a flower garden on the town’s hills, adds a planned sweep of seasonal planting. In the Shirogane district, the Blue Pond was formed by erosion-control works on the Biei River after volcanic mudflows, and nearby Shirahige Falls flows into the same river.
