What to expect

  • Biei Shiki-no-Oka or Chiyoda Farm – “Powder Snow Paradise” (60 minutes stay) Highlights: What is a beautiful summer countryside transforms into a giant pure white ski resort covered with thick powder snow in winter! The snow quality here is as fine as flour.

Play Guide: You can experience super exciting snowmobiling (you can drive yourself), snow banana boating, or snow tubing at your own expense. Speeding through the rolling silver hills, the screams and laughter will definitely be unforgettable for a lifetime! Even if you don't participate in activities, the endless snowfield here is also an excellent spot for taking stunning snow photos.

  • Internet-famous Christmas Tree – Solitary romance in the vast white snow (20 minutes stay) Highlights: This is Biei’s most representative winter wonder. A perfect fir tree stands alone in the boundless white snowfield, as if it were a painting meticulously arranged by nature.

Photo Guide: White snow, blue sky, and a solitary tree. The minimalist lines outline the ultimate Japanese sense of solitude and romance. Whether it's a wide-angle shot or a back view of a person, any casual shot can be a high-quality wallpaper-worthy photo.

  • Shirasu Waterfall – A Song of Ice and Fire, stunning winter ice blue (20 minutes stay) Highlights: Due to the mineral-rich hot spring water gushing from underground, the waterfall does not completely freeze even in severe cold temperatures of minus ten degrees Celsius. The rushing water erupts from rock crevices, forming crystal-clear ice pillars hanging on the cliff. Visual Impact: The cascading torrent flows directly into the mysterious “Tiffany blue” underground river below, and water vapor condenses into beautiful rime on the branches on both sides. The intertwining of ice blue and pure white makes it feel as if you’ve stepped into the fairy tale world of “Frozen” in an instant.
  • Asahiyama Zoo – Adorable Penguin Snow Walk (120 minutes in-depth fun) Highlights: Japan’s most popular zoo! The absolute highlight in winter is the “Penguin Walk” (the start and end times of the penguin walk are subject to the official Asahiyama Zoo schedule) (※subject to the amount of snow and the animals’ condition on the day). Keepers will lead a team of King Penguins strutting across the snow. They waddle past you just a few centimeters away, absolutely charming everyone! Exclusive Fun: You can also see polar bears rolling in the snow, seals happily swimming through ice tubes, and plump white arctic foxes. The extra-long 120-minute stay is enough for you to watch the walk, take plenty of photos, and even enjoy a leisurely bowl of hot ramen in the zoo!
