Hokusei-no-oka Observatory Park
Rolling Hills and the Majestic Daisetsuzan Mountains
This breathtaking spot offers a complete 360-degree panorama of Biei’s patchwork hills and the majestic Daisetsuzan mountain range.
Stretching out before you are the iconic rolling hills of Biei, layered like gentle waves. During the summer months, the air is filled with the sweet, refreshing scent of lavender as purple blossoms sway in the breeze. For the ultimate view, climb the pyramid-shaped white observatory. From the top, you’ll enjoy an unobstructed, expansive vista that reaches all the way to the rugged ridgelines of the distant Mt. Tokachi.
As evening approaches, the setting sun bathes the hills in a warm, golden glow. The ever-changing colors of the sky create a serene moment that captivates all who watch. Between your explorations, treat yourself to a refreshing lavender soft-serve ice cream from the local shops. Starting around August, you can also enjoy freshly boiled "Tokibi" (corn on the cob). Its natural sweetness and aroma offer a perfect, refreshing treat. A truly special experience, savoring the northern land’s seasonal flavors amid vibrant scenery.
