A spectacular display of scenery can be seen at Shirahigenotaki Falls in Biei. This waterfall is particularly unique as it flows from an underground river. Not only that, in winter the falls are surrounded by fresh snow, frost-covered trees, and icicles, only adding to the beauty of the ravine below. From November through April there are seasonal illuminations, which is not something to miss, even in the cold. After enjoying some time at the waterfall, head to Biei Shirogane Onsen, equipped with open-air baths which allow visitors to enjoy the winter landscape while they relax.
