Biei Shirogane Hot Spring
A Hot Spring Village Surrounded by Nature, Perfect for Rejuvenation
Biei’s Shirogane Hot Spring is a scenic village at the foot of the Tokachi Mountain Range, offering relaxation and beautiful nature. Discovered in 1950, the spring was called “precious platinum from the depths of the earth,” giving the area its name, Shirogane, meaning “white gold.”
Visitors reach the resort via the Shirakaba Kaido, a white birch road about 4 km from downtown Biei. Seasonal views—fresh green in spring, deep summer tones, fiery autumn leaves, and snowy winter landscapes—create a storybook-like atmosphere year-round.
The village has many day-use hot spring facilities, making it easy to enjoy the “rejuvenating waters.” Nearby highlights include Shirogane Aoi Ike, a vivid blue pond, and Shirahige Falls, where underground water gushes from rock cracks into the Biei River, creating a stunning contrast of blue water and white waterfall.
Conveniently close to Asahikawa and accessible from Furano, famous for lavender fields, Shirogane Hot Spring is an ideal base for an unforgettable Hokkaido travel experience.
Enjoy relaxation, nature, and breathtaking views all in one at Biei’s Shirogane Hot Spring.
