Visit Hokkaido in the height of summer to see the flowers: The complete guide to Furano's lavender
① Nakafurano "Color Fragrance Village"
►Check-in experience:
- Not many people come to Color Fragrance Village, one reason is that it's quite a distance away, requiring a climb up a steep slope; the other is that this quaint place is more of a niche spot, and large travel groups generally don't come here.
- After crossing a field opposite Nakafurano Station, turn onto a small path and slowly climb up, the destination is at the end of the forest!
Along the way, there are lovely little flowers and grasses planted by local residents
- Once you reach the lavender garden, you're greeted by a sea of purple!
Sunflowers! The sunflowers planted here are golden yellow, small and delicate, and particularly endearing!
From a corner of the flower field, you can see the distant Tokachi mountain range!
►Recommended visit: 2 hours
►Transportation: Take the JR express train from Sapporo to Furano
② Furano's most beautiful farm: Tomita Farm
► After returning to Nakafurano Station, I rented a bicycle and set off for "Tomita Farm," the farm of the Tomita family who persisted in growing lavender many years ago!
► Tomita Farm
- Composed of several flower fields, among which the most famous is the colorful flower field. It's like a luxurious flower carpet visible even from the moon, stretching straight towards the pine forest on the other side of the field!
- Unlike the singular scenery of Provence, Furano's lavender, set against various environments (colorful fields, large forests, distant mountains, blue skies and white clouds), presents various postures. It feels like a painting from any angle, with endless scenes to capture
- Continue cycling to a lavender field on the hillside, which is the oldest lavender field of Tomita Farm, giving a bit of a Provencal feel!
- The bike rental was scheduled for 2 hours, but I ended up wandering around for almost 3 hours before heading back.
► Town-run Lavender Garden
- When returning the bike, I took a distant look at the town-run Lavender Garden on the way, which is a flower field in summer and Nakafurano's ski resort in winter!
The word "Nakafurano" is spelled out with flowers in the middle, complemented by various colors of flowers below
►Recommended check-in: 3 hours
►Transportation: Rent a bicycle

I went there in August. There still some lavender, but not much. There is no entrance fees, but there is a car parking. The farm is opposite Tomita Melon House
Beautiful place, multiple fields lavender and other flowers in nice stripped arrangements. You can smell the natural fragrance of lavender. The lavender soft serve was very unique and delicious. There's also a small corner where you can learn how lavender oil is extracted.
夏天去北海道肯定要去富田农场看薰衣草,在夏天还可以选择搭只有夏天才有的列车旭川市搭JR到富良野,不过夏天有个临时车站可以下车,临时车站走路去富田农场比较近
