Hokkaido Official Tourism Site HOKKAIDO LOVE!

Shikisai-no-Oka is an iconic entertainment garden in Biei, spanning about 15 hectares of rolling hills adorned with vibrant, ribbon-like bands of flowers.

Standing in the panoramic flower gardens of Shikisai-no-Oka, you will see layers of floral stripes in red, yellow, and purple stretching out like a rainbow below you. The scenery transforms with the seasons, from tulips in spring to poppies in early summer, sunflowers in summer, and salvia in autumn. It is a truly special moment to be enveloped by the sweet scent of flowers carried on the breeze while gazing at the grand ridgelines of the distant Tokachidake Mountain Range. For a relaxed experience, you can ride the "Shikisai Norokko," a tractor bus that winds slowly through the grounds, allowing you to fully enjoy the expansive views without having to walk.

At the year-round Alpaca Ranch, you can enjoy interacting with these adorable animals. The sensation of an alpaca's warm, soft lips gently touching your palm as they take food is sure to become an unforgettable memory. In winter, the landscape is completely transformed into a world of white, offering exciting activities like snowmobiling and snow rafting. Feel the unique power of Hokkaido in the quiet of the dancing powder snow, an experience entirely different from the green season.
