   The world of silver Stroll

   around Biei Hills in winter The gentle hills and hills are lined up like waves, and the idyllic scenery that can be seen in all four seasons is attractive. The scenery shines most beautifully in winter. The dignified air, the clear blue sky, the marshmallow-like hills that go endlessly, and the endless two colors of blue and white… You can enjoy such a picture book-like other world with a snowshoe tour on the hill. Whether you’re a first-timer or a child, put on snowshoes that anyone can easily do and go out and leave your own footprints! Snowshoeing on the hills is done with special permission. Please note that you cannot walk on the hill without a dedicated guide.

   Recommended by local guides!

   Powder snow in the middle of winter has a unique feel of floating fluff. In such a fluffy snow, you can walk, dive, lie down, run down, and play to your heart’s content!　One of the pleasures is to find the footprints of wild animals unique to Hokkaido. Why don’t you step into the snowfield as far as the eye can see?

    Have a quaint lunch at an old-fashioned local shop

    A local store that handles groceries in front of Mima-gyu Station. As the number of such shops in the suburbs is decreasing, it is a store that is valued as an indispensable living infrastructure for the community. There is also an eat-in space where you can order drinks such as rice balls, soba, and strawberry milk in the tatami room. It is a restaurant with a lot of local Japan atmosphere and is easy for tourists to stop by.

    Drop by drop, in your precious time

    Gosh, a home-roasted coffee shop located on a small hill in Biei Town, is known for its aromatic coffee and natural yeast bread. We recommend dark roast coffee, which determines the individuality of the beans and adds the time of washing and drying them to bring out the aroma and sweetness along with the bitterness. They offer a variety of types of coffee, mainly dark roasts, and also sell their own roasted beans. The owner and his wife were attracted by the charm of Biei, which they visited on a trip, and decided to move. While staying close to nature here, we continue to pursue “a taste that you can be convinced of is delicious”. The café only serves coffee and cake. Bread specializes in takeout.

    What you should definitely taste here is the “dark roast coffee” brewed slowly one cup at a time. Although it is a dark roast with a strong image of bitterness, Gosh’s coffee has a deep yet very clear mouthfeel. You can choose from standard paper drip to flannel drip, so you can compare drinks with the same beans. At the store, more than 24 types of beans purchased from all over the world are always roasted and sold in-house. It seems that there are many fans who purchase these beans at cafes in Hokkaido.
