Biei Relax Downriver
Biei, the town of rolling hills, seen from the water.
Overview
The Biei Relax Downriver is a guided boat trip down a river in the Biei area, and a chance to spend time in the landscape rather than beside it.
Biei is known for its hills and patchwork fields, but the view from the river is another thing entirely: water and forest close by, and time that moves at Hokkaido's pace.
It slots easily into a Biei and Furano itinerary. Tell us your plans and we'll work around them.
What makes it special
01Biei's nature from the river
A quiet way to experience one of Hokkaido's most photographed areas, from an angle few visitors see.
02Led by an experienced guide
Your guide reads the river as you go and leads the trip with safety in mind.
03Easy to fit into your trip
It plans well alongside sightseeing in the Biei, Furano and Asahikawa areas.
Ideal for
- Travellers who want nature time alongside sightseeing in Biei
- Anyone looking for more than the usual tourist route
- People who want to enjoy nature quietly
