▲ Featuring world-class penguin exhibits. The winter "Penguin Walk" is a signature event, where emperor and gentoo penguins waddle along snowy paths, allowing visitors to walk alongside them at an incredibly close distance.
▲ The waterfall's water source comes from deep underground springs in the Tokachi Mountain Range, naturally filtered to achieve exceptional purity and clarity. When sunlight hits the mineral-rich water, it creates a dreamy turquoise hue famously known as "Tiffany Blue." This mesmerizing color becomes especially striking against winter's snowy backdrop. Spring to fall: The waterfall is framed by fresh greenery, seasonal blooms, or autumn foliage, with the blue river harmonizing beautifully with nature's vibrant palette. Winter: The entire waterfall and surrounding rocks freeze into a magnificent "icefall." The blue water flows through pure white ice and snow, creating a fairy-tale landscape. Nighttime illumination activities add an extra touch of magic to this winter wonderland.
▲ This tree gained fame for appearing in a 1970s Nissan car commercial titled "Love's Horizon," where the male and female leads were named "Ken" and "Mary," giving the tree its name. It represents the pure, expansive, and picturesque rural scenery of the Biei area, with its charm lying more in the atmosphere and imagery it evokes.
▲ The entire park is surrounded by dense birch and coniferous forests, making it charming both day and night. By day, it's a refreshing forest walk, but after dusk, as the warm gas lamps light up one by one, the entire forest trail transforms into a dreamy, romantic, and slightly mysterious magical world.
