The flower and lavender fields of Hokkaido Japan – Shikisai no Oka & Farm Tomita
Hokkaido’s Top Flower Sightseeing – Shikisai no Oka and Farm Tomita
Shikisai-no-Oka’s expansive flower fields are one of the best places to enjoy flowers in the Biei area. The hills of this fifteen-hectare garden undulate with vivid color, making for a breathtaking sight from spring through fall. The long blooming season, which runs from May all the way until October, offers ample opportunity to visit. Nearly 30 varieties of flowers bloom during the year and each new season brings a different set. This rotating set of blooms makes it easy for visitors to come back year after year.
Farm Tomita – Fields of lavender and other flowers
There are numerous flower fields of various sizes all across Furano. The best spot to view the lavender is Farm Tomita, whose lavender and flower fields with the Tokachi mountain range as backdrop are spectacular. The popular farm is free to enter and besides the flower fields has cafes and shops that sell a wide range of lavender related products. The farm naturally gets rather busy during the peak season.
