The morning air in Biei is a crisp, clean blade that cuts through the bus windows as you roll out along Patchwork Road. Small farms spread like painted plots across low hills, and the driver eases the Toyota Alphard into a roadside pullout so you can frame a single, isolated tree against a wide Hokkaido sky.
