The vast lands of Hokkaido in the wintertime get covered with silver snow. Amongst all, Biei has an exceptional view and is used in TV dramas and movies. The unique landscape created by the volcanic eruption of the Tokachidake Mountains turns white with snow. Pine and poplar trees that scatter the land complete the picture perfect view.
