Introduction

Shinei-no-oka View Park sits on the hills of Bibaushi in Biei, Hokkaido, along the Patchwork Road. From its crest a 360-degree panorama opens over Biei's rolling patchwork hills and red-roofed hamlets; to the east rise the Tokachi volcanic group—led by 2,077 m Mount Tokachi—and the far Daisetsu range, while the western slope is a celebrated sunset viewpoint. Sunflowers, salvia and other blooms carpet the park from summer into autumn, and from July to September a small shop sells farm-fresh milk treats. Entry and parking (30 cars) are free; the park closes during the snowy season. It is a classic stop on any Biei driving or cycling loop.
