2025 Kamikawa District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#wheretogo Nice little stop on the way to furano. A café that is a 2-3 minute walk from Biei Station☕ It's right from the station, so it's easy to use not only for those traveling by car, but also for those traveling by JR or bus.There are also rental bicycles, so it's recommended for those who want to enjoy cycling in Biei🚲It has a selection of hot or cold drinks and hot soup. We ordered coffee, fruit juice, pasta, waffle and soup. Overall the pasta and drink are yummy. Definitely will come back again next time if drop by Biei.

A cottage where you can experience the extraordinary feeling of being in a foreign land, as if you were overseas. Driving over a hill, a small village appears. Far away from the hectic daily life, time seems to flow slowly, and you can spend time in such a healing space with a calm feeling. There is a TV and Wi-Fi, and it has modern parts, but it was refreshing to get away from them a little and look at the magnificent scenery that spread out before you while swinging in a hammock. Each house also has its own meals, so the private space is maintained, and there was a wide variety of dishes, so I was very satisfied. I would definitely recommend it. #Japan #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #HokkaidoTrip #HokkaidoHotel

I spent 2 nights in Asahikawa and went around various places. I also saw many tourist spots in Furano, Asahitake, and Biei. I only ate in Asahikawa city.

Horse trekking in the sunlight of fresh green leaves✨ From Asahikawa Airport, through Higashikawa, to Sakuragaoka🌲🌳 At this time of year, the rice fields are filled with water and sparkle, and it feels like you are riding on the water, just like the scene in Spirited Away where the train runs on the water🚗✨✨ The Sakuraoka area is lined with relocated old houses, and there are also stylish cafes scattered around. Even if you are a beginner, you can ride outside👌 After receiving lessons on how to ride in the saddle, how to pull the reins, and how to call out to the horse at a lodge with a western-like atmosphere, we go through the forest and walk along the field paths. You will not be led by a horse, but will be slowly led, so even children can feel safe😊 It will also help you stand up and strengthen your inner muscles, so it is also recommended for those with back pain. On the way back, we will go to the baths at Kitoushi Forest in Higashikawa. The building was designed by Kengo Kuma. If you still feel like you're going to get muscle pain, please come to Higashikawa's hidden salon HealingO 🌈 You're sure to be healed💖 🐎-ー------------- 🐎🐎-ー------------- 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: country lodge 　There's also a tin gallon hat, so you can aim to be a cowboy 🤠 📍Address: 160-4 Sakuraoka, Higashiasahikawa-cho, Asahikawa-shi, Hokkaido 078-8204 💰Price per person: Experience Leading horse 　　About 5 minutes 1,300 yen Yen riding lesson About 15 minutes 3000 yen Outside riding Course A 　　About 40 minutes 7500 yen Course B 　　　　About 50-60 minutes 10000 yen Course C 　　　　About 80-90 minutes 15500 yen Clark Horse Garden is open all year round, so you can ride horses even in the winter. 🕰️Opening hours: Summer 10am-sunset (reservations required on Thursdays) Winter 10am-4pm (reservations required) #EnjoyJapan #Hokkaido #ClarkHorseGarden #HealingO

There are also camper sites, a park golf course with a grassy area, and a dog run. Rental bicycles and junior bicycles are also available, so you can enjoy cycling with your family. It was pouring rain so I couldn't take a picture of the outside, but if it was sunny, I think it would be a roadside station where you can enjoy a lot of things. ▶️Burger shop! Volume-filled Hamburger shop attached to the roadside station🍔 They use plenty of ingredients from Biei Town, where the water and air are clean, and serve freshly made hamburgers in a takeaway format. The concept is a forest picnic, and there is an eat-in space with 30 seats inside the store. There is also a terrace seating surrounded by forest outside. The fries that come with the set are volume-filled and incredibly delicious! I ordered two, but they changed the type of fries, so it was nice to be able to eat two types. They also sell milk, soft serve ice cream, and yogurt from Biei Farm. I didn't eat it because it was cold, but the soft serve ice cream is also popular. #Hokkaido #Biei #Roadside station #Roadside station Biei #Hokkaido trip #Domestic trip #Hamburger shop #0 yen trip January 2025

#December Travel Support Event Hokusei no Oka View Park was a healing spot where you could enjoy Hokkaido's wide fields and beautiful scenery. When you climb up to the park, the endless grasslands and winding paths spread out like a painting, making it perfect for taking pictures. Especially at sunset, the red sky created an even more romantic atmosphere. It was the perfect place to take a walk and feel nature in a quiet and secluded atmosphere. The only regret was that it was a bit inaccessible by public transportation, but it was definitely worth a visit.

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent #CoupleTravel #Sapporo #WinterTravel Last week, right before the snow kingdom began...Sapporo Still, we could see snow, as expected from its reputation. There were two things I couldn't resist... Open-air footbaths...No matter how cold it was!! If it's with the warm bangsho prepared by the ryokan~ As a nation that loves food, I can't resist delicious food. The most memorable thing from this Hokkaido trip was Nukumorino Yado Furukawa Ryokan. Phew~ It's hard to call the name because it's long ㅋㅋ Anyway. I felt like I was treated well, so I didn't regret the money. Next time, I want to go there again and again with my mom and kids!!

Love this place very much 4/11/23

The Mild Seven Tree in Biei, Hokkaido, is famous as the location where the Mild Seven cigarette commercial was filmed. The nearby Mild Seven Hill tree was cut down in 2019, but the other filming location, the larch trees, have remained unchanged since then, and you can feel the majestic scenery of Hokkaido. 🌲 It's a fun place to visit no matter how many times you visit, as you can enjoy various scenery depending on the season, such as fresh green leaves and silvery winter scenery.
