Ningle Terrace
The Dwarf Chalet is situated near the New Furano Prince Hotel in Nakagoryo, Furano. The wooden cabins are constructed in the forest and linked by the wooden corridor bridge. There is also a connection of small lights that decorate the cabins. There are a diversity of small crafts in the cabins, which are very delicate. Don't be too explicit when you look inside. Try to see through the corner of your eyes. That big stump is the spot where the legendary second generation of dwarfs lived in. There are passages and wooden bridges of the dwarfs build next to it, and coats of dwarfs were basked, which was very cute.Furano · 10.7 km from Nakafurano

Panoramic Flower Gardens Shikisai-no-oka
Panoramic Flower Gardens Shikisai-no-oka is a panoramic flower garden located in theBiei hills of Hokkaido, covering an area of approx. 15 hectares. The rolling slopes are planted in rotation with approx. 30 types of flowers and plants, including lavender, lupines, sunflowers, and cosmos, which bloom continuously from late spring to late fall: in summer, lavender spreads out in purple ribbons, followed by sunflowers lifting their heads, and in the fall, they are replaced by pink and white cosmos. Rows of flower ribbons spread out along the curves of the hills, looking like an open palette from a distance, and on clear days, you can even see the distant Tokachi mountain range. Giant scarecrows stand in the flower fields, and the park also keeps a herd of alpacas that you can view up close. If you get tired of walking, you can take a tractor-pulled tour vehicle to ride around the flower fields, or try an ice cream made with fresh Biei milk. In winter, the snow-covered hills transform into a snow park, where you can also experience snow activities like snowmobiling.Biei · 14.1 km from Nakafurano
Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike)
Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) is an artificial pond created after the eruption of Mount Tokachi, when a dam was built on the Biei River to prevent volcanic mudflow disasters, resulting in the accidental accumulation of water. The trunks of larch and birch trees, which died from long-term submersion, stand in the pond, and the blue-green water reflects the dead trees and the forest. The blue color here is not artificial. After the aluminum-rich spring water from the upstream Shirogane Onsen flows into the Biei River, it mixes with the river water to form invisible colloidal particles. These particles strongly scatter the blue light from the sun, while the white volcanic soil at the bottom of the pond makes the blue appear even more vivid. The blueness of the pond water changes with the weather, time of day, and season. You can take photos from different angles while walking along the trail by the pond. This pond is also widely known for a photograph: a work by photographer Kent Shiraishi featuring the first snow here won an award in the National Geographic Photo Contest and was subsequently selected by Apple as one of the built-in wallpapers for its computer operating system. Every winter, the pond surface freezes and is covered in snow. After nightfall, lights illuminate the dead trees and the ice, presenting a tranquil scene that is completely different from the daytime.Biei · 18.1 km from Nakafurano
Shirogane Onsen
Shirogane Onsen is a hot spring town located at the southern foot of the Tokachi mountain range in Biei, Hokkaido. The spring water here is colorless and transparent, and the water quality is a sodium, magnesium, and calcium sulfate spring, named for its reputation as "platinum gushing from the ground." The town is compact, and hotels and public bathhouses offer day-trip bathing, allowing you to enjoy a good soak even without an overnight stay. On the way to the hot spring town, you will pass through the "White Birch Road" that stretches for several kilometers. At the end of the tree-lined road, you will see rising steam. The town also features small parks converted from erosion control projects, making it very convenient for walking and relaxing. This hot spring town is also an important base for climbing the nearby mountains. It is adjacent to the turquoise Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) and Shirahige Waterfall. You can enjoy autumn foliage in the fall and snowy forests in the winter. Whether you are a hiker or a traveler looking to relax, you can experience the unique charm of combining hot spring bathing with natural scenery here.Biei · 18.8 km from Nakafurano
Shirahige Waterfall
Shirahige Waterfall is a groundwater-fed waterfall on the upper reaches of the Biei River. Groundwater from theMount Tokachimountain range seeps into the ground and emerges from rock crevices halfway up the canyon cliff, cascading down the cliff face in dozens of thin streams. From a distance, it resembles a hanging white beard, which is how it got its name. The ideal viewing spot is the observation deck on the bridge spanning the Biei River. Looking over the railing, the white streams and the blue-green river below are captured in the same frame, creating an iconic composition for this view. Rich in minerals, this section of the river scatters sunlight to create a translucent blue color as it flows toward the hot spring area downstream. The waterfall has different highlights throughout the four seasons: in summer, the mountains are lush and green, making the blue-green river stand out; in fall, the forest is ablaze with color; in winter, the cliffs are covered in snow, creating a striking contrast between the white snow and the blue river. Located adjacent to the hot spring town, it offers visitors a unique natural viewing and photography experience.Biei · 18.9 km from Nakafurano

It is OK to walk to the ski resort in Furano if you live nearby.
If you live in the town, it is a little inconvenient, and there are not many transportations.
But they all leave on time.
Some hotels have shuttle buses, but they also have time.
You need to confirm before booking if you want to be more convenient.

When the weather is good, the snow-capped mountains behind the Shirahige Falls will be even more beautiful. I didn’t expect that I was so lucky this time. I encountered a sunny day with super good visibility. I saw this epic beauty with my own eyes! The Shirahige Falls itself is very beautiful🥹. Coupled with the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance🥰, it is really one of the most unforgettable moments of this trip to Hokkaido.
