I want to make some points regarding a picture I took earlier in Biei with a girl in the snow, as it comes to my understanding as rural as it seems, the snowland is actually private.
That day was really snowy when I passed by the place, and to my utmost understanding I really didn't see any sign nor warning, all I can see is a large piece of snowland like any other. If I know the land is private, then I wouldn't have entered it.
So I would like to take this opportunity to remind tourists(and me) not to walk into the snowland of Biei, even if you see no fences/signs/as rural as it looks like, it maybe owned by someone.
