Pin the celebrity tree of Biei city. Come take photos!
#Eatwithmmeegowithme is here to share a pin of a white minimalist celebrity tree in Biei, Hokkaido!
In winter, Biei has a famous place where everyone must come to take a picture to upload on social media, which is the Celeb Tree located in a vast, white rice field as far as the eye can see. It gives off the ultimate minimalism!
How to get there: From Biei city, you have to drive or, like us, hire a taxi. We recommend renting a car if you have driven in snow before because the taxi fare is twice as expensive!
We actually rented a car, but when we arrived at the event, the officer said, "You Today is Very Dangerous" and showed us a news photo of a snowmobile accident in which 2 Singaporeans died. 😰 So we had to walk down to take the JR at Asahikawa to Biei instead.
The taxi fare is charged by the hour. For us, we collected everything in 1.5 hours. The price was 9,640 yen or 2,000 baht. We had to contact a taxi to take us around at the Tourist Information. After exiting JR Biei Station, walk to the left.

⭐ Shirahige Waterfalls
Another place we went to was Shirahige Waterfalls. The last time we came here, we went to Blue Pond and didn't see anything. This time, we intended to go to the waterfalls instead. We took a bus at the Dohoku-bus stop. The bus stop is opposite the Tourist information (you can ask the staff). Look for the front of the bus that says Shirogane Onsen.
Take the bus for about 30 minutes and get off at the Shirahige Waterfalls stop. Walk for 3 minutes and you will arrive.

Warning! These trees are in the agricultural area of the villagers. They have a fence around them to prohibit trespassing because tourists have stepped on their crops and damaged them (we used an app to remove the fence in some photos). If anyone goes there, please respect the rules so that you will have a place to take beautiful photos. 🥰

Find a Lonely Tree in Japan | Biei, Hokkaido
| Biei, Hokkaido. [Biei]
Located between Asahikawa, the second largest city in Hokkaido, and Furano.
If Biei in summer is a watercolor painting with distinct colors,
then Biei in winter is a magnificent and distant ink painting.
Here, people are the supporting characters, and nature is the protagonist.
The word "pure" is also a very appropriate description.
Biei Internet-famous Tree Tour 🌲
Biei's "Christmas Tree" is named for its conical shape resembling a Christmas tree. Each of them has a beautiful name:
🚗 Christmas Tree
🚗 Parent & Child Tree (Biei-cho)
🚗 Seven Stars Tree
🚗 Mild Seven Hill
👉 Tips
Each tree is about a 5–10 minute drive apart, and a long walk apart.
Biei Blue Pond 💧
The color of the Blue Pond varies throughout the year,
showing a unique beauty with changes in light and weather.
Every visit offers a different view.
Shirahige Falls ❄️
White water curtains pour down from the crevices of the cliffs, like a natural painting.
✨ Hot spring water condenses into shiny icicles.
✨ Frosted trees and blue lake water reflect each other.
Shirahige Falls in winter is like a fairy tale world of ice and snow.
Shikisai no Oka 🎠
Shikisai no Oka is covered with snow in winter,
making it a great place to play in the snow.
❄️ Have a snowball fight with your friends and feel like a child again.
Biei Outfit Suggestions 💙🤍
Photo outfit suggestions: blue and white!
💙 Klein blue, light blue, peacock blue
🤍 Pair with blue and white accessories (hats, scarves, earmuffs)
Warm tip: Blue is more visually impactful than black and white or red and white, and looks better in photos!

Biei City in Hokkaido
Biei City is a charming place. If you visit Hokkaido, it is recommended to stop by Biei City. It features the Shirohige Waterfall, which is ranked among the top 5 most beautiful waterfalls in Hokkaido. Around Biei City, there are many spots for taking photos with trees. The town itself is lovely, with a train running through it. During winter, the snow here is abundant and fluffy, making for beautiful photos. If you want to visit the waterfall, there is a bus service, but the schedule is limited, so it's advisable to check the bus times before traveling. For the tree photo spots, you can rent a taxi or join a tour available at the tourist service center.

#familytrips2024
Very accessible. Just be aware of the train schedules especially if you’re on a tight schedule since the furano line is not that frequent.Well, it is a pretty little train station. The architecture of the station building is mesmerizing! It feels like ancient granite building materials, but it is very modern.
Our dream destination is to go to Hong Kong for my family trip as Hong Kong is paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of culinary delights. My family will enjoy it very much.

Biei, Hokkaido is not only about winter
September in Hokkaido is also fun.
You can go to Biei farm for cycling.
Remember to rent an electric bicycle
because uphill roads are really, really tiring. At this age, I probably can't handle it anymore.
It was also very tiring when I was young.
Families with children can rent a car, the scenery is absolutely beautiful.
There are also all kinds of delicious food.
You must go to Asahikawa Zoo.
Adults will be fascinated, let alone children.
