Winter Wonderland Must-Visit｜Hokkaido's 'Shirahige Waterfall' Snowy Fairyland Adventure

When the first snow of winter gently blankets the earth, Hokkaido unveils a dreamy chapter of ice and snow. Located in Biei Town, the Shirahige Waterfall cascades down amidst a silver-white world. The crystal-clear water, accentuated by the snow, appears even more vividly blue, intertwining with the surrounding snow-covered pines, creating a scene straight out of a fairy tale.

The water source of Shirahige Waterfall originates from the Tokachi Mountain Range. The mineral-rich spring water gives the waterfall its unique 'Blue Valley' hue, which remains unfrozen even in the harshest winters. The interplay of white snow, the waterfall, and the blue valley creates a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

📍 Recommended Itinerary Tips:
• Enjoy the blue valley of the waterfall during the day
• Visit the 'Shirahige Waterfall Illumination' at night to experience the romantic snowy night ambiance
• Pair your visit with a Furano day trip to enjoy both snowy landscapes and hot springs in one go
