It's great for both adults and kids! The activities are all included, and the hot air balloon is seriously perfect for photos—the background is just magical.

Shirogane Blue Pond
The Shirogane Blue Pond in Biei is famous as the top tourist attraction in the area, captivating visitors with its vivid blue. This man-made pond unexpectedly formed when water accumulated behind a dam that was constructed to prevent volcanic mudflows from Mt. Tokachi. The surreal blue of the pond, combined with the surrounding lush nature and dead larch trees, creates an enchanting atmosphere reminiscent of a fairy tale.
The color changes when the sunlight hits it—so dreamy.
Photos look amazing even without filters.
That view of the dead trees standing in the water is really unique, with this quiet, mysterious vibe. -

Otaru Canal
Otaru Port, which developed as a gateway for Hokkaido's settlement, saw an increasing volume of cargo over the years. To streamline its transportation, the "Otaru Canal" was completed in 1923 (Taisho 12). The canal, created by reclaiming the offshore coast, is characterized by its gentle curves rather than a straight line.
Otaru Canal has such a vibe.
The red-brick warehouses along both sides feel super retro—like you’re walking through a movie set. -

Silo Observatory
Located on a hill on the western shore of Lake Toya, this scenic spot offers breathtaking panoramic views. From the observatory in the central courtyard, visitors can gaze upon Lake Toya and Nakajima Island floating on its blue surface, as well as the surrounding mountains such as Mt. Usu and Mt. Showa-Shinzan, features shaped by volcanic activity that create a dynamic landscape. It is a popular photo spot, especially renowned for its stunning sunrises and sunsets.
If the weather’s good, you can see really far.
The whole view is so spectacular—totally worth coming at least once. -
