However, regarding the matter at hand, in recent years, the roads surrounding the Christhttps://www.biei-hokkaido.jp/wp3/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/5b73c05c2c27ec89603540b1788633b4.pdfmas Tree in winter have become heavily congested. This road is a route for Biei Town’s school buses and also serves as an essential pathway for local residents.

To ensure the safety of everyone and reduce the risk of traffic accidents, we have decided to establish specific rules for parking and stopping as outlined below.

Applicable Period: Friday, December 11, 2024 – Sunday, March 2, 2025

1. The road in front of the Christmas Tree is designated as a pedestrian-only viewing area.
   Please refrain from stopping or parking vehicles here.
2. For buses, passenger drop-off and pick-up are only allowed after turning at the T-junction.
   Please refrain from waiting while parked on the roadside. Alternative parking and U-turn areas are designated at “Shinei-no-Oka” and “Bibaushi Station.”

Please refer to the attached map for an overview and location details.

Security personnel and signs will be positioned on-site to help guide traffic. We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation.
