There are various theories about the origin of the name, such as that the shape of the tree resembles a Christmas tree or that the tip of the tree resembles a Christmas tree. The tree represents the shape of a star, that is, the name is related to a Christmas tree without decorations. This Christmas tree, which is beautiful day and night regardless of the season, is one of the most popular trees in Biei. ★ When taking photos, please "step back" and stand on the asphalt road to take a look. You can capture the blue sky, white clouds, and fields in the frame. ★ When tourists enter farmland to take photos, please "call out" and stop them, saying "Excuse me, please do not enter farmland."
