Hokkaido Ningle Terrace Illumination Tour | Blue Pond Illumination & Shikisai no Oka Snow Play & Christmas Tree & Shirogane Waterfall Day Trip | Depart from Sapporo

【Shikisai no Oka】 Winter is the most beautiful season for the Elf Terrace. In the evening, the entire forest is lit up by warm lights, and the snow-covered wooden houses appear exceptionally dreamy in the interplay of light and shadow, making it an excellent spot for photography. 【Shikisai no Oka】 This is a beautiful flower field spanning 15 hectares, where flowers are arranged in a staggered manner. In April, there are tulips; in June, poppies and lupines; in July, lavender; in August, sunflowers and dahlias; in late August, cosmos, large-flowered pansies, and wild cotton; and in October, you can admire salvia and snapdragons. Over 30 kinds of flowers bloom in succession on the rolling hills throughout the year, looking like a carpet that changes colors with the seasons. In winter, the vast garden is covered in snow, transforming into a joyful snow park with snowmobiles, sledding, snow rafting, and other recreational activities. 【The Unique “Lonely” Christmas Tree】 This “Lonely Christmas Tree” (Yūnyūnyū no Ki) located in Biei-cho is one of Hokkaido’s most popular Instagrammable spots. It is a spruce tree standing alone in a field, named for its resemblance to a Christmas tree. 【Shirahige Waterfall】 Named “Shirahige Waterfall” (White Beard Waterfall) because its water flows down from cracks in the rocks like a white beard. 【Shirogane Blue Pond】 Shirogane Blue Pond attracts visitors year-round with its dreamy “azure water + larch trees” due to minerals in the water refracting light. In winter, the lake freezes and is covered in snow, making it difficult to see the typical blue surface during the day. However, the night illumination show blends the ice, snow, water surface, withered trees, and night sky into another dreamy scene, beautiful like a fairy tale.
