The best reason to take this day trip is simple: it gets you from Sapporo to Biei and Furano’s open countryside without the cost or trouble of renting a car.

Biei’s Blue Pond is the star here, and it earns the fuss. Mineral-rich water shifts from blue-green to cobalt in the sun, while pale tree trunks rise from the pond like the remains of a drowned forest. Add Furano’s flower fields, a buffet lunch, and a long but well-filled day, and this is an easy … Read more
Asahiyama Zoo is the anchor of this long day, but the real pleasure is the changing scenery between Sapporo, Asahikawa, Biei, and Furano.
