Seven Stars Tree
セブンスターの木
A oak tree on a hillside in the Kitabiei area that gained its name from appearing on the packaging of Seven Stars cigarettes in 1976. It is one of the famous trees of the Patchwork Road.
The Seven Stars Tree is a lone oak standing on the Kitabiei hills. It became famous in 1976 after appearing on Seven Stars cigarette packaging and tourism posters. The tree stands at the edge of a gently sloping field, with open sky behind it. Rolling wheat in summer and snow cover in winter both make good photographs. There is a parking lot and a toilet by the road. It is about 7 km from Biei Station, roughly 15 minutes by car, and it is on the same route as the Oyako Tree and the Mild Seven Hill, about 1 km away. Note: do not enter the fields, and drive carefully on snowy roads in winter.
