A request from Biei Town. ～Please observe the tourist rules and traffic rules～

A request to everyone visiting Biei!
The undulating hills of Biei look like a vast flower garden in the summer and a snowy field in the winter, but most of them are actually private land owned by farmers.
In order to pass on these pastoral landscapes to future generations, we must never enter the fields of farmers, always leave them from paved areas, and from areas cleared of snow during the snowy season.
Enjoy the scenery and take pictures.
(We spare no effort in growing our crops so that we can deliver safe and delicious agricultural products to everyone's table.)Also,

when stopping on a narrow road, please be careful not to block traffic.

Please do not trample on fields (private land) or obstruct traffic. It is especially dangerous to stop or sit in the middle of the road.
Please move quickly when the car arrives.

Ken and Mary Tree/Seven Star Tree
Parking is limited.
We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
To prevent traffic accidents, do not park on the street outside the parking lot.


Mild Seven Hills/Christmas Tree

There is no space for large vehicles to park and no road width to allow oncoming traffic to pass.
Do not park large vehicles on the street.

Takushinkan (Please follow the passage of the Shirakaba Corridor.)
Parking is limited. You can also use the parking lot of the building opposite the Takushinkan
 (Yui no Mori *Business day), thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
To prevent traffic accidents, do not park on the street outside the parking lot.
It is the passage of the birch corridor that many people visit, but there is a flower bed outside
 the passage with plants planted in it. 
Although it is snowy now, there are also lavender and fruit trees,
It is a place carefully cultivated like a farmer's own field (field).

Please don't step out of the aisle and trample on the plants.
Please follow the "Biei Yamanomachi Sightseeing Etiquette" and 
cooperate with farming activities and the lives of ordinary residents.

☆Please cooperate to enjoy a safe and comfortable trip☆

With the tourist season approaching, tourists are concentrated depending on the time of day, mainly in sightseeing spots in the Shirokane area such as the northwest hill, Ken and Mary trees, the patchwork area around Seven Stars, the panoramic area such as Shikisai Hill, the blue pond, and Shirahige Falls, and pedestrians such as sightseeing buses, rental cars, and hire cars are overflowing on the road.
As the risk of accidents increases in proportion to the amount of traffic, please keep a sufficient distance between vehicles and drive safely to prevent rear-end collisions.
In addition, large farm trucks frequently pass through the busy farming season. The wheat fields spread out in the hills are a summer-like landscape, but please do not enter the fields. We ask for your cooperation in not obstructing the passage of large agricultural vehicles.

There are not many toilets or parking lots in the vicinity, so please be sure to clean the restrooms before departure.
Consecutive holidays such as Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, national holidays, Obon holidays, etc. are expected to be even more crowded, so we ask for your cooperation in decentralizing the time and place as much as possible.
