Absolutely stunning! This "rainbow field" is definitely our favourite one in the area. The parking fee is waived if you purchase the food at the restaurant on the second floor of the entrance building. Very fair and reasonable. The food was good too. Highly recommended and must visit!

Although this place is often swarmed with tourists, it is still a must visit if you are already making a trip down to Biei. Just don't get your expectations too high (most photos you see on the internet have been edited anyway), and you'll still find yourself blown away by the view. It is a one-way path around one side of the pond, so there won't be any reverse human traffic happening. There are still plenty of spots for you to take photos without being photo-bombed. Do go all the way to the end though - you get to see the blue pond ending on your right and there's lovely autumn foliage on the hill right in front of you. Toilets are available at the site as well.

We took the 9.30 am bus from Biei for a very brief stop at the falls, as we didn't have a car. We were very relieved to have about 25 minutes on the snowy bridge for photos and then head immediately back towards the town on the return bus. It was excruciatingly cold in the wind and many places seemed shut, so considering it would have been 3 hours until the next bus we were glad to leave immediately. The falls are nothing short of spectacular. The deep turquoise blues and mineral rich waters made the sight so worth the trip from Biei. Also the overhanging icicles and thickly covered trees were so beautiful. We didn't stop by the pond however, as it is literally covered in thick snow in high winter. The falls on the other hand can give you the nature you need in this part of Japan.
