Biei Farm Co., Ltd. — Local services in Biei

Our tour guide brought us to his favorite place for soft serve.

ATMOSPHERE: What seemed like out in the middle of nowhere, a dirt road led us to a nondescript building which is Biei Farm’s ice cream shop. Outdoor seating is available but it was super humid in August.

MENU: Soft serve, pudding, yogurt, cheese toast.

DESSERT: Soft Serve All I can say is that the soft serve in Hokkaido is the best around as it tastes pure and not overly sweet. Our cups of swirl were decorated with a piece of waffle cone.

SERVICE: Order & pay on the kiosk and turn in your tickets at the counter.

TIP: While or after consuming your delicacy, walk up the hill behind the shop. I promise you, the view of rolling hills is worth it! It’s what I call a cooler and blanket spot, meaning I could stay here all day taking in the views and relaxing.

OVERALL: Sweet...

Came here to see cows on the hills and try the raclette cheese toast but it was sold out. Go early if you want to try the toast. Was there late afternoon, an hour before closing.

A solo tree was standing in a field next to the carpark and wanted some attention.

At the start of the hill, there is a bucket of white powder, supposedly for visitors to step in to coat the soles of their shoes with, before starting the walk up a slight slope to see the cows on the hill.

The slope up was not difficult and view from the top was 360 degrees of mountains in the far distance and rolling hills in the foreground. It was not a clear day but good enough a sight.

On this trip, saw wild deer, wild foxes (crossing the roads), now cows....

We saw it on the map and decided to swing by, as it was only a 5 min drive for the flower farm. This place did not disappoint, the moment you step out of the car, you can smell the cows 😂 there’s a good diary selection, we got the ice cream, milk and the yogurt. It was some of the creamiest milk and yogurt I’ve ever had. The yogurt was more on the sweeter side but it was really smooth and rich. The soft cream was rich and really nice as well. The portion size was really good, not your usual soft cream serving with a hollow hole inside! You are surrounded by the cows that are free to roam around the field as you enjoy your ice cream. The view up the small hill was also really pretty. All in all, a very nice detour if you...
