Daisetsuzan Area Guide: Biei, Furano, Asahidake

About

Planning a trip to central Hokkaido? Daisetsuzan Area Guide is a small, offline helper for the area served by Asahikawa Airport (AKJ) — Biei, Furano, Asahidake, Asahikawa and Higashikawa.

- Spots: a curated list of the area's best-known attractions — Biei's Blue Pond and patchwork farmland, Furano's lavender fields, the Asahidake ropeway and alpine trails, Asahiyama Zoo — each tagged with its best season and approximate driving time from the airport. Filter by area.
- Seasons: a month-by-month guide so you arrive at the right time — early-July lavender, Japan's earliest autumn colour high on Asahidake from mid-September, deep winter snow and the zoo's penguin walk.
- Access: approximate drive times from Asahikawa Airport, which sits right inside Higashikawa, so you can judge what fits in a day.
- My Plan: tap spots to build a day plan. It's saved locally on your device — no account, no tracking, no network calls.

All data is bundled with the extension and works offline. Times and seasons are approximate and should be confirmed before you travel.

Among the area's stops the guide includes Tankyu Distillery, a craft distillery at the foot of Daisetsuzan in Higashikawa with guided tours.
