My husband did the firefighter activity, which really helped our child understand how tough and dangerous his job is. It's a meaningful and educational experience.

Shirahige Falls
One of the iconic attractions of the Biei Shirogane Onsen area, Shirahige Falls lives up to its name as white streams cascade down a rugged cliff like a "white beard”, dropping approximately 30 meters into the Biei River. This waterfall is classified as a rare "subterranean stream waterfall" (senryu-baku), where water flows directly from cracks in the rock face.
It was kind of chilly on site, and if you stand around too long you’ll want to head back to the car.
We didn’t stay long, but it definitely left a strong impression. -

Café Aoyama Paperback
Café Aoyama Paperback is a book café that opened in 2016. Inside this bustling spot you’ll find retro-chic tables and chairs, and an overall old-school look and vibe await. Come here for a cup of hand-drip coffee made carefully under the warm, cozy lights inside.
This café has such a great vibe, with a hint of that bookish atmosphere. The wooden decor feels really classy and relaxing. Both the coffee and desserts are good, but the soufflé pancakes are especially popular—super fluffy and go perfectly with coffee. It’s a nice spot to read alone, work on your laptop, or just chat with friends. You can easily spend hours here and feel comfortable.

Fuchu Kosatsuba
At the intersection of the Koshu Kaido (now known as the Kyu Kaisho Kaido) and Kamakura Kaido roads sits a "kosatsu" post board. These post boards, as big as 4.6m wide and 5m tall, served like a modern day "bulletin board", where new decrees and public announcements were shared.
Located at the intersection of Koshu Kaido and Fuchu Street, it really looks like a school bulletin board from back in the day.
