San-ai-no-Oka Observatory Park
Breathtaking panoramic views of the Tokachi Mountain Range
Located along Biei's scenic Panorama Road, this observatory park offers a stunning vantage point where majestic peaks meet the gently rolling hills of Hokkaido’s countryside.
Situated in the heart of Biei's iconic hill country, San-ai-no-Oka Observatory Park provides a dramatic backdrop of the Daisetsuzan National Park to the northeast. To the southwest, the distinctive red triangular roof of Bibaushi Elementary School can be seen against the surrounding hills, creating one of the area's characteristic landscapes.
As the park is less frequented by large tour groups, visitors can take in the scenery at a relaxed pace. The open views extend across Biei's rolling farmland, while the mountains of central Hokkaido form a striking backdrop beyond the fields.
In early summer, lilies of the valley, the official flower of Biei, bloom within the park. The surrounding fields change color with the seasons, creating different landscapes throughout the year. A rest area (azumaya) is also available, making the park a convenient stop for travelers exploring the area by car or bicycle.
