From the iconic spots of the Furano fields to the unique activities in Niseko, Hokkaido's summer is magnificent, including memorable views of the many stunning lakes. Discover the Bihoro Pass, a mountain and observatory pass that not only offers panoramic views of Lake Kussharo, Japan's largest caldera lake, but also showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of Hokkaido's natural wonders.
As you approach the destination, breathtaking views of Lake Kussharo will unfold before you, offering a captivating experience. During summer and winter, a natural phenomenon called unkai, or “sea of clouds", occurs, capturing a mesmerising display of the fog hanging above the lake. Finally, the Bihoro Pass provides an exceptional spot for stargazing and witnessing the expanse of the starry sky.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast or a stargazer, Bihoro Pass invites you to recognise Hokkaido's beauty, which is a constant throughout the year, from the early morning sunrises in summer and autumn to the frozen wilderness in winter.
During winter, you can also unwind in the open-air hot springs by the lake, witness the volcanic gas emissions at Oyakotsu-Jigoku hot spring, and view the peaceful swans from Siberia. Don't forget to indulge in the local cuisine, such as fresh seafood, to complete your Hokkaido experience.
From the snow-covered peaks to the vibrant wildflowers and lush landscapes, Hokkaido offers a unique living experience with each season. Explore affordable properties with panoramic views of its natural wonders.
