Hokkaido's Biei 'Shikisai no Oka' - The Colorful Hills of Autumn

In Biei Town, Hokkaido, lies a picturesque hilly area known as Shikisai no Oka.

Every autumn, the flower fields don their most vibrant hues: golden marigolds, deep red kochia, and purple-blue salvia weave colorful ribbons across the undulating terrain. In the distance, the Tokachi Mountain Range is shrouded in mist, where snow-capped peaks blend with the sea of flowers to create a dreamlike landscape.

As the gentle breeze passes through, the entire flower field sways, revealing heart-shaped patterns hidden amidst the red and yellow, as if the earth itself is smiling. Whether you ride the small train or take a leisurely stroll, you can feel the unique clarity of Hokkaido's air and its vast tranquility.

Autumn here is not just a seasonal transition but a slowly flowing painting.
