Seven Stars Tree
A Lone Oak Amid Biei’s Patchwork Hills
Experience the iconic symbol of Biei, where a single oak tree stands proud against a backdrop of vibrant, ever-changing floral and agricultural patterns.
Located on a gentle hill within the famous "Patchwork Road," the Seven Stars Tree is a quintessential Hokkaido landmark. This magnificent oak gained nationwide fame after being featured on the packaging of "Seven Stars" cigarettes in 1976. The surrounding farmland transforms with the seasons, creating a living mosaic of greens, yellows, and browns that captivates every visitor. From its elevated vantage point, you can enjoy an unobstructed, 360-degree panoramic view of Biei’s rolling landscape.
In early summer, a refreshing breeze carrying the scent of the earth sweeps across the hills, as the tree spreads its lush green branches toward the clear blue sky. If you listen closely, you can hear the gentle rustle of swaying wheat ears punctuating the peaceful silence. As winter arrives, the oak sheds its leaves and stands with dignified resilience amidst a pristine white snowfield. In the crisp, cold air of the north, the serene scene evokes a powerful sense of nature’s quiet strength.
