  13：20 Biei
  From April 1st to November 30th, go to: Biei Aoike (about 30 minutes)
  Located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, it was formed by a dam built to intercept volcanic magma. Under sunlight, the water in the pool will reflect blue, hence its name. Aoike was once photographed by National Geographic photographer Kent Shiraishi. The work was later acquired by Apple and became one of the default desktops of the MAC series. The water of Qingchi contains rich minerals and sandy components in volcanic ash. Under the sunlight, Qingchi will show various colors with subtle changes in the environment. You never know what he will show you at the next moment, which makes people full of expectations.
  
  Remark!Let’s follow [tourist etiquette] together and visit the town of Hillside Biei!
  The pastoral scenery of Biei is a unique landscape created by farmers cultivating delicious crops.
  However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of tourists who have inadvertently stepped into farmland in order to take pictures of beautiful scenery. This move not only harms the crops, but also tramples on the fruits of farmers' hard work and beads of sweat. Therefore, please abide by the following tourist etiquette, and let us protect the original beauty of the countryside together.
  ★When taking photos, please "step back" and stand on the asphalt road to capture the view. In this way, the blue sky, white clouds, and fields can be included in your frame.
  ★When tourists enter the farmland to take pictures, please "speak out" to stop them and remind them: "Sorry, please don't go into the farmland."
  
  14：05 Furano
  From April 1st to November 30th, go to: Shiragu Falls (about 15 minutes)
  The Shirakane Falls in Furano, Hokkaido, has a drop of 30 meters and an altitude of 600 meters. It is located in the Shirogane Hot Spring Village of Biei Town. It is named "Shiratsu Falls" because of the white beard-like water pouring down from the cracks in the rocks. The water gushing from the ground beat against the rocks and stirred up blue waves. Here you can enjoy beautiful mountains and clear waters in summer and white snow in winter. You can enjoy the sharp contrast between the two seasons.

  Forest Elf Terrace (about 30 minutes)
  Ningle Terrace in Furano is a forest handmade experience workshop inspired by a character in the novels of Japanese writer Satoshi Kuramoto (to be precise, a 15cm elf living in a large forest). The cabins here are small shops one by one, selling unique small goods, basically all handmade, such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand paintings, and crafts made of Furano’s dried lavender flowers. Each shop is small and exquisite, and everything is sold only here and there will not be a second one. The lights in the evening are very romantic.
