Tomita Farm in Furano
#wheretogo
A must-visit place, very beautiful scenery, professional staff, and the overall attention to detail is amazing! They really go the extra mile to delight their guests.
Free entry, free wifi are a genius ideas to attract people, and it is very difficult not to buy anything ☺️
You can get all sorts of 🪻 lavender-related products here. Very lovely place to wander round. We visited late October and there were still some flowers to view although not much lavender. Shops selling all things lavender and a cafe attached too with simple meals, melon and lavender ice cream.

Beutiful Flowers & More At Farm Tomita
Farm tomita is one of the largest farms in Furano and a day here is never enough. In fact, my family and I loved Fram tomita so much we spent hours and couldn't bear to leave it. Farm tomita has huge flower fields and these flowers were so pretty and they were of different colours and types. Then, there's also a large lavender field, which was a sea of purple and calming lavender flowers. The whole place smells heavenly and relaxing with the lavender scent filling up the whole air. Do buy their famous lavender ice cream, I guarantee you will love it. The special lavender ice cream was milky with a hint of lavender taste and it was a great dessert in the summer heat. Next head over to their melon fields and there is a cafe next to it selling their popular melons and melon ice blended drink. The melon was sweet, juicy and refreshing and it was the same for the drink. They were the best melon and drink I have ever tasted! Overall, love the atmosphere and experience at farm tomita. We will definitely be back here again!

Hokkaido's breathtaking field
Farm Tomita is one of Hokkaido’s largest tourist attraction site. It has various beautiful flower fields including the 5-hectare lavender field and other flower gardens. The lavender flowers were almost gone when we visited.
The best time to visit Farm Tomita is in late June to early August. During this time the flowers in the garden will be in bloom and a colorful sight can be experienced.
Farm Tomita is a 25-minute walk from JR Furano Station. There is a special “Furano-Biei Norokko-go” train that runs between Asahikawa and Furano from June to mid-September. The train stops at the special station Lavender Farm Station, which is a 7-minute walk to Farm Tomita. You can also take a taxi but it's difficult to find one.

There are so many desserts using melon I like it so much, and it's so delicious that it's irresistible for melon lovers!

Flower Land Kamifurano Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Huge Flower Mountain
We come here on end of June , Some tour buses but the layout of the farm makes it not crowded. No fee to enter or park. Big free parking zone with toilets nearby. One of our favorites flower farms in Furano, neat & clean. The farm overlooks the valley & mountain range in the distance, stunning sceneries. There is workshop to make pillow etc. A souvenir shop & melon, snacks & ice cream are sold at cafeteria. Many wedding couples have their shootings during our visit, highly recommended to visit here .
This spring, I miss Hokkaido immensely.
This spring.
I miss it so much.

Furano's flower fields
The trip to Hokkaido, Japan was several years ago.
Remembering the weather and scenery of that time.
Freshness in the air.
The refreshing feeling of the wind blowing on the body.
Mood became beautiful too.
Hokkaido is a place with a very slow pace.
There are few people, few houses, and few cars.
There are plenty of mountains, waters, trees, flowers and grass.
Photos taken with a mobile phone appear to have higher pixel density due to clean air.

【Super Dry Goods】Must-Do 6 Things for a Deep Free Trip to Hokkaido
Three years have passed, and I can finally go abroad now~ My emotions are really excited and a little complicated 🙏🏻.
Hokkaido is really big, and we like to thoroughly explore every place, so we only played in Furano and Sapporo for 5 days.
🚇: Recommend downloading the transfer guide app, which provides routes and prices, very convenient.
✨Attractions, entertainment, food, and accommodation
8️⃣Must-visit list sorted out with great effort
Suggestion‼️Bookmark‼️Super practical and niche
1️⃣ Find a beautiful and comfortable homestay
We stayed at the Akane Guesthouse in Nakafurano.
Friendly and hospitable host, delicious and healthy meals, talkative and friendly tenants, everything is so perfect. It gets dark around 4:30 pm every day, so it is recommended to go to bed early and get up early. There is a large floor-to-ceiling glass window where you can enjoy a cup of coffee and the snowy scenery in the homestay, which is really comfortable~ The scenery near the homestay is also excellent‼️
2️⃣[Must go skiing]
Recommend the Prince Hotel Furano ski resort, rent a full set of skiing ⛷️ equipment for 8500/person, 🉑 play for 5 hours. The first time skiing was full of falls but also very fun. After 3 hours, I was already exhausted from the heavy shoes and skis.
3️⃣[Fairy Terrace in the World of Fairy Tales]
The Elf Terrace is right next to the ski resort. I highly recommend the afternoon tea at "Forest Clock". Their cakes are delicious! Every little shop on the Elf Terrace is like a fairy tale world, especially beautiful when the lights come on in the evening.
4️⃣[A Romantic Must-Visit in Otaru with Your Loved One]
It is recommended to take a slow train when visiting Otaru. There is really a "Spirited Away" sea train, and the slow train will pass through Asari, a place worth visiting. The blue sky and sea, flying seagulls, make people immersed in it.
Otaru is the filming location of "Love Letter". Almost everyone who comes here will get the same poster. The abandoned railway passing by occasionally is so charming. The Otaru Music Box Museum is very girly, and once you go in, you won't want to leave!
5️⃣[The smelly rotten egg valley of Noboribetsu Hell]
It is a volcanic crater, with water holes spewing out hot smoke like a roar, as if in the hell of fire, and the smell of sulfur like rotten eggs permeates everywhere here. I couldn't bear it a little bit. The process of climbing up and down the mountain was difficult and really slippery. But the scenery on the mountain is also extremely beautiful, so it's worth going up.
6️⃣[Must-try food to check in]
Hell's Valley has a honey ice cream shop 🍦 that is super delicious 🍯 (see picture of storefront).
The fried chicken in the commercial street of Otaru Station is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Super delicious~
Lawson is my favorite breakfast every day, you can buy anything without stepping on a mine.
When you come across a good homestay, you can also order homemade breakfast and dinner, every meal is exquisite!
In addition to the night view of the Elf Terrace, the Furano New Prince Hotel has a secret: Mori Time Calculator.
Sen's Time Cafe is the most important scene of the Japanese drama "Tender Moment", which runs through one of Kurano's Furano trilogy. It was originally built for the filming of the TV series. There are too many fans who come here to make the cafe open to this day.
It is hidden in the forest, the path is deep, and there are towering trees on both sides. Follow the not so obvious indication wooden sign. After a round trip, you can see that there is a black cabin at the end of the path.
