More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the private coach onto a cool patch of Hokkaido air and the hills open like pages in a travel journal—rows of cultivated flowers, a mirror-calm pond the color of a painted sea, and thin white streams threading down volcanic rock. This one-day circuit stitches together Farm Tomita’s lavender terraces, Biei’s surreal Blue Pond, the beard-like falls of Shirahige, and the painterly sweep of Shikisai-no-Oka, all with luxury transport between sites.
