The rolling fields of Biei made Hokkaido a photographer’s island long before social media, and the classic circuit runs from the lone trees on the Patchwork Road to the milky water at Shirogane. Some ski lessons here throw in a photographer too.
Visit Asahiyama Zoo, Shirahige Waterfall, Blue Pond and Biei’s famous tree on a practical day trip from Sapporo.
