The weather was not the greatest but our driver (yumi) was fantastic. She took us to all the sites we requested. She told us so much along the way, by using her Japanese/English translation device. She was extremely helpful with suggestions and guidance. She also provided pictures of what we 'would' have seen, since it was very overcast and foggy on our day. She took many pictures for us as well. We almost decided not to go because of the weather but we are VERY GLAD that we did!

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 the farmland to take photos, please "call out" to them and say "Excuse me, please do not enter the farmland". Biei Blue Pond (about 30 minutes) Located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, it was formed by a dam built to hold back volcanic magma, and was named after the blue reflection of the water in the pond when it receives sunlight. Shirakushi Falls (about 20 minutes)Shirogane Falls in Furano, Hokkaido, is a waterfall with a drop of 30 meters and an altitude of 600 meters located in the Shirogane Onsen area of Biei Town. It was named "Shiratsu Falls" because the water flows like a white beard from the gaps in the rocks. Return to Sapporo city and end your day trip happily!

全然釣れなかったけど、体験としてはそれなりに楽しかった。 他のテントからも全然釣れない、と言うような話が聞こえてました。 想像していたより結構な大人数のツアーで、1テント4人だったため、全く知らない人たちと同テントに入りました。 一緒になった方達は良い方で問題はなかったのですが、もしテンションの合わない人達と一緒になってたら結構キツかったかもなあ、と思ったりしました。
