is about 20 minutes by car from the center of Biei Town. Located at the foot of the mountains overlooking the Tokachi Mountain Range, this hot spring resort offers a rich natural landscape of the mountains and their surroundings. The road from downtown Biei-cho to Biei-Shirogane Onsen is called Shirakaba Kaido, a 4-kilometer stretch of birch forest that grew wild after the mudslide caused by the eruption of Mount Tokachi in 1926. Close to Aoi Ike (Blue Pond) and Shirohige no Taki Waterfall, you can feel the nature of Biei. Visitors can enjoy Biei Shirogane Onsen with its clean, free-flowing spring water on a day trip.
