Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Biei
For the majority of travelers, Asahikawa Airport (AKJ) is the clear primary choice, providing the fastest and most convenient access to Biei. While it is not physically located within Biei, its proximity makes it the standard gateway for this region. New Chitose Airport (CTS) serves as the major international hub for Hokkaido; while it handles far more traffic and flight options, it is located in a different city and requires a significant rail or bus journey to reach Biei. Sapporo Okadama Airport (OKD), Tokachi-Obihiro Airport (OBO), and Monbetsu Airport (MBE) are all located in neighboring cities and primarily support regional domestic travel. These three options generally require private transit or rental cars for a smooth connection, as public transport options can be sparse. Travelers prioritizing convenience should aim for Asahikawa, whereas those with complex international flight requirements may find the extra transit time from New Chitose to be a necessary trade-off.

This hotel boasts an unbeatable location, right next to Biei Station and connected to the roadside station. It's a two-story building with a limited number of rooms. The rooms are adequately spacious and, despite some older elements, have been comfortably renovated. The air conditioning, in particular, is top-notch, offering excellent fine-tuning capabilities. While the breakfast felt pretty standard, the staff's service was attentive and appreciated. Overall, I was very satisfied.FromUS$128

For our last night in Hokkaido, we drove all the way from Kushiro to this small hotel in Biei. The hotel was tiny, and although it had a second floor, there was no elevator. The staff were incredibly enthusiastic and even helped us carry our luggage, which made us feel a bit embarrassed. Our room came with a private open-air onsen, so it was quite spacious, but the futon mattress was a little hard. It made me miss my smart electric mattress back home! The food here was also great; both breakfast and dinner were typical Japanese cuisine, perfectly to my liking. Definitely recommended!FromUS$339

Hotel staff are very friendly with clear instructions in english. The room was on the level above some steps without lift so not convenient for people with big luggage. Room was decent in size with small bathroom. Room decoration can be improved. Food provided by the hotel is good and decent variety. Check out was smooth.FromUS$218

Pros:
1. There's a free shuttle bus from Asahikawa Station to the hotel. It was just me and my friend on the bus, and the driver was super enthusiastic, constantly using a translator to point out the scenery along the way.
2. The buffet food was delicious. Definitely go for both breakfast and dinner; it's excellent value for money, especially since there aren't many other restaurants nearby.
3. It's super close to Shirogane Blue Pond (Biei Shirogane Aoiike), just a two-minute walk. It wasn't crowded when we went in the morning.
4. There's a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk, which made communication very easy.
5. There's an arcade and gashapon machines. Even though they're old, they were quite fun to play with.
Cons:
1. The rooms are old, and the soundproofing is poor. I could hear the person snoring next door.
2. There aren't many hot springs baths, and the outdoor bath was very mediocre. Someone must have peed in it before, as there was a specific Chinese sign on the door saying, 'No peeing in the hot spring bath.'FromUS$125

Had a pleasant stay here. It's about 10-15 min walk from the station. Shared bathrooms and toilets. Only 1 with a bathtub. Free washing machine and dryer (about 3-4hrs) but you pay ¥100 for the launch pod. Free coffee, tea, etc.
Beds a bit noisy and squeaky. Whole place smells like pine cos most of the furniture is pine. Place is quite quiet but you can still hear other guests walking. Good thing we stayed with few guests. There's a gap between the bed and wall so depending on how you sleep, might drop your pillow in the gap.
There's a Lawson right opposite and a good restaurant, a decent ramen place and some bakery further up.FromUS$36

It is a B&B run by a couple. It is clean and tidy. There is a bathroom in the room, but you have to go to the first floor to take a bath. The Western breakfast is good. It is about 3 kilometers away from Biei Station. When you arrive at Biei Station, call the landlord and he will come to pick you up. It will also be delivered to the station at some time.
Very good experience, recommended.FromUS$48

The facilities are generally old. I think people might have different opinions on the facilities and cleanliness. I was a bit surprised that the room key and locker key were actual physical keys. The hot spring facilities are old, but they give a natural hot spring feel, so it's not bad. Breakfast is simple but offers a good variety of Japanese dishes. The location is great as it's right next to major tourist attractions. However, it's quite secluded with nothing around, and the way there isn't easy to find.FromUS$152

A Convenient and Comfortable Retreat
There are 4 units in this building. One parking slot per unit is provided at the corner near unit 101.
This apartment offers a truly practical and comfortable base for exploring the area. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the basic utensils and cutlery for easy meal prep, and the welcome inclusion of instant slippers, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. The microwave was also super handy for quick snacks and reheats.
Comfort is well-managed with one air-conditioner that kept the unit at a pleasant temperature throughout our stay. The washing machine was a huge plus, and we found the designated drying area right above it in the toilet very efficient. The separate dining table was also a nice touch, providing a comfortable space for meals. 2 dryers are outside the building.
With two double beds, this unit is well-suited for small groups or families. We also enjoyed being able to link our Netflix account to the TV, which was great for unwinding in the evenings
.
Things to Note About the Location
The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood, offering a peaceful atmosphere. While there aren't many eateries directly nearby, there are two convenience stores within easy reach. Do keep in mind that local supermarkets tend to close around 7 PM, so plan accordingly for groceries.
We found the area to be quite pleasant for getting around, with not many cars on the road. This makes it particularly fun to explore the town by bicycle, and there are several bicycle rental stores available if you're keen to pedal around.FromUS$183

Very beautiful accommodation environment, the master's intention can be seen in the details. The room was clean and tidy, the breakfast was Western-style, and Hokkaido milk was delicious. Just beside the Ken&Mary tree, walk to the Meilong Station for 30 minutes, take a taxi for 970 yen, and also fight for the first stop on the road. Staying for two days, the first day happened to have a navel offering in Furano, so I rushed to Furano. After the event, I took the last JR car back to the United States. Before the departure, ask the landlord about how to call a taxi at night. The landlord told us that if there is no car, you can call Mr. Fang to drive to pick up. Unexpectedly, after leaving the station at night, there are still many taxis waiting outside the station, which is very pleasant. On the last day, take a taxi to Asahikawa Airport and the fare is 3,130 yen, which is acceptable.FromUS$57

Very good value, including two meals, the ingredients are prepared by the proprietress herself. The boss also drove us to the jr station in the morning. The room was very warm and took a lot of photos. When we used to walk for about 40 minutes, it is recommended to take a taxi. The surrounding area is very deserted.

It is a B&B run by ********* and speaks Chinese. Dinner and breakfast are charged separately. Dinner is 4,500 yen and breakfast is 1,500 yen. I went there once in autumn and winter, and the food has not changed. If you are staying consecutively or going there for the second time, it is recommended to inform the owner in advance, and they will update some dishes for you. The room is a bit old and the public bathroom on the first floor is not open. If you have a car at night, it’s very convenient to go to Shinei-no-oka to watch the stars!FromUS$238

Our family of four recently spent two nights at All Season Camp, and it was easily one of the highlights of our Hokkaido trip.
The moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the peaceful surroundings and beautiful natural setting. The camp strikes a wonderful balance between comfort and nature, allowing guests to enjoy the outdoors while still feeling completely at home. We especially loved spending time BBQ under the stars, creating family memories that we will cherish for years to come.
One of the standout experiences was the Music Barn. As music enthusiast, my husband was amazed by the carefully curated collection of records and CDs. It was evident that a great deal of passion had gone into building the collection. Sitting back and listening to music in such a thoughtfully designed space felt like being welcomed into the home of a fellow music lover.
The accommodation itself was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Every detail seemed carefully considered, from the layout of the house to the facilities provided for guests. The hosts have clearly put a lot of thought into ensuring visitors feel relaxed and at ease throughout their stay.
What impressed us most was the genuine care and attention behind every aspect of the accommodation. Whether it was the warm hospitality, the unique experiences, or the meticulous upkeep of the property, everything reflected a deep commitment to creating a memorable guest experience.
This was our first visit to All Season Camp, but it certainly won't be our last. Thank you for creating such a special place for families and travellers. We leave with many wonderful memories and look forward to returning in the future.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, authentic, and memorable Hokkaido experience.FAQs
