What you need to know about Biei before nature experience/nature tours

Biei has an inland climate with a sharp difference in temperature, and the changes of spring, summer, autumn, and winter are very distinct even in Hokkaido, making it a place where you can fully enjoy the changes of the four seasons.
Originally, the topography was created by the eruption of Mount Tokachi, and pioneers carved out the dense mountain forests to create a town of hills.
Rice paddies and fields were cultivated on the hills, and the original form of Biei’s hills, which change their expression with the seasons, was created.
With hills of golden wheat and hills of colorful flowers, the hills of Biei have a beautiful nature that fascinates people who see them.
Many people visit Biei together with Furano, and it is a beautiful town with nature typical of Hokkaido.
What kind of nature experiences and nature tours are available to enjoy the nature of Biei, such a beautiful town?
I’ll introduce several below!

Let’s enjoy nature experience and nature tours in Biei from the perspective of “food”!

The first nature experience/nature tour in Biei that I would like to recommend is one that allows you to enjoy the nature of Biei from a “food” perspective.
Biei is famous for its flower fields and golden wheat spreading on the hills, but if you want to enjoy the beautiful nature of Biei, don’t you want to enjoy it not only visually but also with your taste buds?

The first plan I will introduce is a plan to enjoy asparagus, one of Hokkaido’s specialties.
In fact, the asparagus grown in Biei is so tender and sweet that it can be eaten raw due to the sharp temperature difference between day and night!

In this plan, you can also experience harvesting asparagus, but because it is a harvest experience, this plan is only available from May to June.
Each person can take home up to 20 asparagus as souvenirs, so if you are visiting during this time of year, be sure to take part.

Next up is the potato digging experience.
As you know, most of the potato chips sold in Japan are produced in Hokkaido, and many people are probably aware that Hokkaido is associated with potatoes.
Thanks to the volcanic ashy soil and topography, Biei produces many potatoes with good starch quality.

The plan allows you to dig such delicious potatoes by yourself, and after harvesting, you can take a bag home with you.
Furthermore, at the Biei Fruit Farm, you can make potato butter from Biei potatoes and eat it!
The marriage of rich butter and potatoes is truly exquisite, so please take this opportunity to try it.

In addition, Bashō trip also offers a corn harvesting experience.
What you can harvest in the plan is the rare “white corn”.
It is difficult to cultivate and is not widely distributed, so it is rare to see it.
You can enjoy this white corn fresh!
It is rare to be able to experience tasting freshly harvested white corn, so if you are traveling to Biei in August or September, this is a plan you should check out!
Of course, this plan also allows you to take the corn home as a souvenir after harvesting, so you can enjoy the corn not only on the spot but also afterwards.
Please enjoy the delicious taste of nature in Biei.

Learn about Hokkaido’s food scene! Nature Experience and Nature Tours in Biei

In addition to eating, gaining knowledge is one of the best parts of nature experience and nature tours in Biei.

In the footpath plan that takes you around farmers’ fields, you can learn about how vegetables are actually grown by farmers, and you will develop a sense of appreciation for the food you eat.
People living in the city don’t usually have the chance to be aware of how vegetables are grown, so I heard that some people became interested in agriculture after visiting Biei, a place rich in nature.
In the past, there have been people who thought they were taking a trip to Hokkaido, but ended up making plans to move to Hokkaido.
That’s how attractive this place in Biei, Hokkaido is!

With the wheat harvesting plan, you can actually help with the harvesting while enjoying the beautiful wheat fields with your eyes.
The wheat harvested in Biei is “Kitahonami,” “Yumechikara,” and “Haruyo- Koi,” all of which we have all eaten as bread at least once.

A trip to Biei may be a good opportunity to learn how the wheat used to make bread is produced.
And the view from the golden wheat fields as far as the eye can see is incomparably more beautiful than what you can see from the outside!
Please join us for a special experience that cannot be had by simply driving past.

Patchwork Hill, a representative nature experience and nature tour in Biei

Patchwork Hill is a symbol of the beautiful nature of Biei, and you can try a variety of nature experiences.

The walking plan is the best way to enjoy the unique scenery of Biei.
You can enjoy the curving beauty of the patchwork hill, which is unique to this hill town.

This plan allows you to walk around the patchwork hill where you can feel the curvaceous beauty of the hill town, or around a gallery called Takushin-kan, allowing you to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Biei in each season.

You will be accompanied by a guide, so you can ask many questions about the history of Biei and other things of interest.
Depending on the time of year you visit, Biei will show you a different face, so please don’t hesitate to enjoy it to the fullest!
