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!

Biei is best known for its Toscana-ish vibe and views. This area offers great ambiance and views, and is PERFECT for a picnic. In summer local farmers might set up fruit stalls that sell fresh fruit for reasonable prices.

The main attraction at Daisetsuzan National Park is this 12.4-mile gorge with towering cliffs and tumbling waterfalls.

We visited this place on two consecutive days, on 9-10 October 2019. The first day was raining and wind was strong, and hence both Ropeway and Pair Lift was closed. Suggest to check the weather for the day before making the trip down, as unfavourable weather can really render a day trip to the Gorge area fruitless. We took a local train from Asahikawa to Kamikawa station, followed by the bus ride from Kamikawa which took about 30 minutes. Do check out the train and bus timings before you make the trip down. On the way to the Gorge, you can already see a beautiful row of trees in their yellow autumn colours on the right side of the bus ride. The Gorge itself is beautiful and awash in autumn colours in the 2 days we were there, as early October seems the best time to visit. One good place to visit is the Momojidani Hike, the start point being a 15 minute walk on the road to the right from the exit of the Ropeway station. It is a moderately difficult hike especially from the halfway point due to the largely uneven walking trail. The Gorge area has various shops and places for drinks and food, plus an informative tourist information centre adjacent to the Ropeway station.

It's a great spot to visit for beautiful views, with a few places to go hiking up to better viewpoints. I'd recommend bringing closed in shoes to get up a little higher for a view. There is a large car park below the falls and a beautiful pathway that winds around the base of these falls and a few other smaller ones in the area. But you can't see both falls from the one spot down the bottoms and need to get a little higher.

The gallery is a nice little two-level house, which exhibits the works of a famous Japanese landscape photographer, Shinzo Maeda (1922–1998). He well captures the changing colours, moods and details of the landscape and of the seasons in Biei, Hokkaido. The only regret is that we were given only 15 minutes in this gallery as we were in a group tour. On sale inside the gallery is a selection of the photographer's works in packs of postcards. In a hurry I bought one, which serves as a very good souvenir.
