Biei: Encounter the beauty of tranquility | Complete guide for free travel

You will miss many wonderful experiences if you travel with a group.
So we decided to set off from Sapporo early in the morning.
First head to Asahikawa to visit Asahiyama Zoo.
After entering the park, head straight to the penguin walk.
Friends who want to take photos must reserve a spot half an hour in advance.
Before leaving the zoo,
It is best to check the bus timetable first.
Otherwise you might have to wait for a long time in the cold wind.

In front of Asahikawa Station, you can try the famous "Santoka" ramen. Please note that it is not "Huotousan".
This is the original store!
If you need to queue up during meal time,
But usually you only have to wait about 20 minutes.

Take the Furano Line from Asahikawa to Bibaushi.
Be sure to check the train schedule in advance.
Otherwise you may not be able to catch the sunset when you arrive in Biei.
The name of the station "Meima Niu" is very interesting.
Thinking of all the traveling,
It seems that its name is telling us: "For the sake of beautiful scenery, we can work like a cow or a horse."

Standing out from the beautiful horse cow,
Navigate to "Christmas Tree"
It takes about half an hour to walk there.
The scenery along the way is beautiful.
But the biting cold winds may be a bit too much to bear.
If you are particularly afraid of cold,
It is recommended to charter a car or choose a group tour, which will be more comfortable.

Many people may feel that
I ran so far just to see a tree.
It's really not worth it.
If you only focus on that tree,
Perhaps there is some gap between reality and ideal.
But if you can let go of your obsession on the road,
Look around more.
You will find that
In fact, there are many unexpected beauties worth our appreciation.
Therefore, I think the experience of the entire trip is still very worthwhile.

After taking the sunset photos,
It is recommended to return as soon as possible.
Try to get back to Mimanu Station before dark.
After returning to Asahikawa,
You can have dinner in the commercial area near Asahikawa Station.
Then return to your hotel or Sapporo.

The whole trip was very simple.
The only slightly troublesome thing is taking the train.
The most important thing is to check the train schedule in advance.
Plan your visit and departure times for each location in advance.
This way you can make full use of your time.
Ensure smooth journey connection.

The following is my schedule for your reference.
Can be adjusted according to the sunset time of the season:
08:00-09:25 Sapporo → Asahikawa
13:45-14:26 Asahikawa → Biba beef
17:30-18:39 Bima beef → Asahikawa
