Sevenstar Tree

Sevenstar Tree (セブンスターの木) is an oak on Patchwork Hill (パッチワークの丘) in Biei town located in the southeastern part of Asahikawa city, and was named after Sevenstar (famous Japanese cigarette). The tree was printed on a package of the cigarette in 1976, and has became a famous tourist attraction. A parking lot is provided near the tree. But a public restroom is not provided. Admission free. The parking lot is free of charge. Private Fields No Trespassing !

The distance is around 6 km away from the center of the Biei, and a convenience store is not built. Restraunt bi ble is near here. Parent and Child Trees (親子の木) is relatively near here, and I think tourists can drop by here while they enjoy a tour of Pachwork Road (パッチワークの路). By the way, speaking of the tasty restraunts or shops near Biei Station, Restaurant ASPERGES (レストラン・アスペルジュ), Komugikobo (小麦工房), Yoshoku and Cafe Junpei (洋食とcafeじゅんぺい) and Senkakobo (選果工房) are popular in particular. I ate foods at the Restaurant ASPERGES, the Komugikobo and the Senkakobo, and those were tasty.

Oak

A solitary oak grows around the hilltop of the Biri at about 260 m above sea level. Its height is around 13 m. In a summer, the vital power can be felt when branches are thickly covered with leaves. But it looks only just the tree with a lot of branches closely, so it is worth seeing at a little distance.

Some visitors only for seeing the tree seem to get discouraged, but if they take notice of scenery around, they will notice a lot of good views. Lined poplar trees along a road are a good view, too, and the tree goes well with colors of fields with Mt. Asahidake (旭岳) or Tokachidake Mountain Range (十勝岳連峰) as a backdrop, and a conbination of blue sky and the tree is comforatable, too. Good photographers seem to take a photo with using the difference in elevation of the fields at a distance.
