[2025 Biei Attraction] Travel Guide for Tree of Ken and Mary (Updated Apr)

Ken and Mary's Tree in Biei, Hokkaido. It seems to have been used in a TV commercial a long time ago, but I don't know what the commercial was, but I always go there when I go to Biei. The surrounding fields are patchwork and the view is spectacular. There is also a large parking lot. Okubo Kyosei, Biei, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido Ken and Mary's Tree #A secret summer resort #Japan Genki Project 2021 #Summer trip

The Ken & Mary Tree is a century-old poplar tree in Biei. It became famous for appearing in Nissan car advertisements in the 1970s and has become a must-see attraction in Biei. When the weather is clear, Asahidake in the background is clearly visible. When you happen to see a plane flying by, the unexpected picture of them in the same frame is quite dreamy. If you have the chance to pass by Biei, you can stop by and take a look. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

It might be difficult for tourists to travel by personal rental car due to the terrible road conditions, but it was nice to be able to travel comfortably with a guide in a large bus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sapporo's Patchwork Road, famous for its driving course #SapporoTravel #PatchworkRoad

Rented a bicycle at the recommended "Songpu Store" and started today's "Patchwork Road" cycling. This cycling route usually takes 3-4 hours. Compared to yesterday's ultra-wide-angle road, there are many buses on this patchwork road, so be careful when cycling. This patchwork road is also called the "Biei Famous Tree Pilgrimage Road". Most of the attractions along the way are trees that appear in various advertisements and TV dramas in Japan. The main attractions include Zerubu Hill, Ken & Mary's Tree, Seven Star Tree, Parent-Child Tree, Northwest Hill Observation Park, Mild Seven Hill, and so on. Planned route: Biei Station - Hokusei no Oka Observation Park - Ken and Mary Tree - Seven Star Tree (Biei Wheat Field) - Parent-Child Tree - Biei Station. Biei Station - Hokusei no Oka Observation Park - Ken and Mary's Tree - Seven Star Tree (Biei Wheat Field) - Parent and Child Tree - Biei Station First stop, Beisei Hill Observation Park. From the iconic pyramid observation deck, you can see the hills of Biei and the Daisetsuzan mountain range. Across from the observation deck, there is a small shop selling snacks and agricultural products. We bought some fruit corn that can be eaten raw and soft and sweet Hami melon, which tasted really good. Trees along the way, one after another. Actually, these trees are not particularly special, and most of the time they cannot be distinguished from each other from a distance. However, among the vast fields, looking at these quiet trees is especially healing. The beauty of the patchwork road is more about the pure rural scenery along the way, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Picked up the luggage and took a taxi to Prince Hotel New Furano, which includes dinner. The dinner is just a regular buffet. Prince Hotel in Shin Furano is very popular in Japan, but it's not as impressive for us. The cost performance is not high, so we don't recommend it. The hotel includes a buffet dinner. After dinner, take a stroll on the elf terrace next to the hotel. Each delicate craft shop is like a kingdom of elves under the night lights.

#SapporoTravel #BieiTravel 📍Ken and Mary's Tree Japan 〒071-0216 Hokkaido, Kamikawa District, Biei, 大久保協生 If you couldn't get a great shot at the Christmas tree? It's okay! There's Ken and Mary's tree..! You can take so many pretty pictures here too Let's go on a trip to Sapporo, a snowy world~~~~~~~ Before this winter ends

Ken & Mary Tree is a two-kilometer walk from the beautiful city of Hokkaido. The "model tree" of this famous TV poster has become a lonely watcher in the winter. Without the grace of summer, it is more philosophical. Keep it.
