The “Tree of Ken and Mary” is a windswept single tree standing in open farmland—perfect for minimalist compositions against wide Hokkaido skies. Visit in early summer–autumn for vivid fields and soft haze; winter offers stark, dramatic silhouettes. It’s a roadside stop in rural Biei: no tickets, no facilities—come by car and expect quiet, pastoral light.
