Be soothed by the breathtaking views from Shin-ei Hill. 🌄 1. A 360-Degree Panoramic View Located about a 7-minute drive between JR Biei Station and Bibaushi Station, this spot offers a sweeping view of the gentle rolling hills, the Tokachi Mountain Range, and the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range. The scenery, featuring the "red-roofed house" and patchwork-patterned fields, is especially photogenic. 🌸 2. Vibrant Scenery Through the Seasons Spring to Autumn: The hills are adorned with lavender, sunflowers, salvia, marigolds, and more, allowing visitors to enjoy the harmony of flower fields and nature. Winter Closure: The area is closed during the snowy season, so it’s best to avoid visiting during this time. 🌅 3. A Sunset Spot Renowned as Japan’s Best The western hills are famous for their magnificent sunsets, painted in shades of orange. Locals even call it "Japan’s best," making it a must-visit. Reviews praise the beauty of the sunset sinking into the mountains directly ahead during twilight. 🚗 4. Perfect for Driving and Cycling Situated along the Panorama Road (approximately 18 km in length), it’s a popular rest stop for cycling trips and drives. With parking (30 spaces for regular cars, 10 for buses, free of charge), restrooms, and a rest area, the facilities are well-equipped and reliable. 📷 5. A Must-Visit Photo Spot Artistic monuments made from hay rolls and a single symbolic birch tree make for iconic sights. The view from the opposite side of the road is also a popular photography spot, offering quintessential Biei landscapes.

This time I will introduce a park in Hokkaido. You can see beautiful flowers here, snowy scenery in winter, and lots of flowers in spring, so it is a highly recommended spot. This time I went in spring, so I was able to see the green scenery and it was very fun. There were many tourists here, so I was able to take my time taking photos. Please go there once.

#VisitHokkaido Shin-ei-no-Oka Observatory Park is one of the sightseeing spots along the Panorama Road in Biei. The view from here is vast and expansive. We went during the summer and saw colorful rice fields on high and low hills with the Tokachi Mountains in the distance as a backdrop. On the observation deck, there were dolls made from barley rolls set up as decorations, which were very cute. There were also flowers planted to make it look refreshing. I heard that this is one of the most beautiful sunset spots in Japan, but we went in the morning and it was already beautiful. We enjoyed taking pictures. No matter where we pointed our camera, we were bound to get a picture. 🚗 How to get there The location of this place is between Biei and Bibaushi train stations, about 3-4 kilometers from the stations. If you want to walk, it is quite far. Therefore, cars or bicycles are the best options. There is a convenient parking lot on the side of the road. From the parking lot, there is a walkway to a small souvenir shop and food/drinks. After enjoying the view, you can use the service.

Access: 10 minutes by car from Biei Station Address: Mibaushi Shinsakae, Biei-cho, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido This is the place to go if you want to see the scenery that is synonymous with Biei, and even Hokkaido. From a small hill you can see the vast fields that stretch on forever. There are small monuments, a farm ice cream shop, and vending machines so you can take a short break. The parking lot is also spacious, making it easy to stop by. It seems that it is not included in foreign tours, so it was mostly Japanese people. It may not be a place you go to many times, but I think it is a place you should go at least once. #HokkaidoTourism #Hokkaido #ShineiOka #Biei
