Hokkaido in the summer is filled with beautiful flower fields. Flowerland Kamifurano previously required an admission fee, but now it is free. It is a hidden gem with relatively few people.

A summer-only gourmet treat that is always featured in Hokkaido guidebooks, half a melon topped with soft serve ice cream! It is sold at various tourist spots, but here at Flowerland Kamifurano you can eat half a melon at a reasonable price. (It's about half the price of a certain tourist spot.) Furano melons are very sweet and recommended for those looking for a luxurious summer gourmet treat! !

Every year from June to September, Hokkaido is filled with tourists who come to see the beauty of the lavender fields that are in full bloom, displaying bright colors all over the city, especially at Farm Tomita, where lavender is grown beautifully. If you go there, don't miss trying the lavender ice cream.

The familiar scent of lavender. Has anyone ever seen a lavender plant? I've heard of and used the scent of lavender, but I've never seen a lavender plant before. Today, I came to Hokkaido, so I took the opportunity to stop by "Farm Tomita", which is said to have a large lavender field and is the most beautiful flower viewing spot in Hokkaido. 💐Farm Tomita has many flower zones for us to visit, but the highlight here is the lavender field, which is very large. The flowers are brightly colored, the scent of lavender is alluring, and the wind blows against your body. Wow, being in the middle of a mass of flowers with a gentle breeze makes you feel so good, you can't describe it. You feel relieved and receive so much positive energy. For coming, I recommend planning first which flower zones you want to see. Otherwise, you'll get lost because Farm Tomita is a very large area. If you want to walk through every flower field, it might take a day. And what you can't miss is the "Lavender Ice Cream", which is a specialty here. I have to say that when you get here, you have to have some!! As for me, I didn't miss it. I've already had 3 😋 #Waiting for the day to leave #Japan trip #Hokkaido #Flower field tour

The scenery of Furano, Hokkaido is a picture-perfect view no matter where you look. Around July, endless lavender scenery unfolds, but the scenery in this season when the cold wind still blows is very quiet.

If you want to see the sunrise at Hinode (sunrise) Park, you have to hurry up in the morning. #Furano

This time I came to Biei, Hokkaido, and stayed in this country-style cottage. It really felt like walking into a fairy tale world! There is thick white snow outside. When you open the window, you can see a quiet and beautiful snow scene, as if time has slowed down. The interior is very warm and cozy, the wooden decoration makes people feel particularly relaxed, and the heating is just right, so even if it is cold outside, it is still warm inside. The food here is also surprising. The dishes made with local ingredients are fresh and delicious, especially the dinner. Every bite is full of happiness. This accommodation experience is really satisfactory, and it is recommended to travelers who want to enjoy the quiet snow country style!

#0 yen trip February 2025 Weather: Sunny 23/33℃ No humidity, dry heat Transportation: Rental car ▼ Biei Shikisai no Oka Time required: 30 minutes Parking fee: 500 yen Admission fee: 500 yen Reservation: No need Parking is free if you eat at "Udon Restaurant Mugisai no Oka" across the street. You can buy your admission ticket at the ticket machine at the entrance (I think it was cash only). I left the park after 9:00, but tourists were flooding in from that time. ▼ Furano ① Balloon experience Access: 18 Kitanomine-cho, Furano City Time required: 15-20 minutes Reservation: I made a reservation in advance, but it seemed like I could experience it without a reservation, probably because it was early on a Sunday morning. ② Farm Tomita Admission fee/parking fee: Free Spending time: 50 minutes Reservation: No need The number of people increases from this time. The nearby roads are congested, but the parking lot is large. People were moving fast, so we didn't have to wait long. The lavender soft serve and melon slices were especially delicious. It's quite large, so if you want to see it properly, it will take a while. ▼Hakodate ① Night view of Mt. Hakodate Access: Hakodate Station - Mt. Hakodate Summit Bus - Route 1 Mt. Hakodate Climbing Bus, bus stop number 4 (bus stop on the left after exiting Hakodate Station) Instead of using the Mt. Hakodate Ropeway, take the bus that goes from Hakodate Station to the summit for a limited time. It's cheap at 500 yen one way, and you can use an IC card. No reservation is required, so it's easy to use. I recommend sitting on the right on the way there and the left on the way back. They drive with the interior darkened, they guide you while driving, and they even stop at the view points. ② Goryokaku Tower Buy tickets at the 7-Eleven near the Jujigai bus stop. You can purchase them for 900 yen instead of 1000 yen. It's 100 yen cheaper, and there's quite a line at the tower counter, so it's better to buy a ticket in advance. You can buy it at most convenience stores on the day. There is a large souvenir shop on the first floor. ③Hachimanzaka The sunlight filtering through the trees is very beautiful. There are also many hydrangeas blooming along the way, so you can take a walk in a beautiful landscape. 🍰Recommended food🍰 Sumire Main Store (Miso Ramen) Yuigadokuson (Curry) Campana Rokkatei (Genghis Khan, also has a Rokkatei shop) Furano Cheese Factory (Cheese Soft Serve) #Hokkaido #Otaru #Biei #Furano #Sapporo #Hakodate

📍Roller Coaster Road West 11th Line, Kamifurano-cho, Sorachi-gun, Hokkaido 《Access》 About 29 minutes on foot from the exit of Mimaushi Station ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ On the day we planned to go to Furano, it rained heavily from the morning. We were also planning to stay at a hotel there, so we couldn't change our plans...😓 A place I found on SNS and wanted to go to A gentle road, then a sudden drop, then a sudden rise!! It's a roller coaster road. I took the photo in the heavy rain, so visibility was poor and this was the limit. It is difficult to find even with a car navigation system, so it may be easier to get there from National Route 237, which runs from Biei to Furano, in the direction of JR Mibaushi Station. #HokkaidoTrip #DomesticTrip #Hokkaido #PhotogenicSpots #FreePhotogenicSpots #0YenTripJanuary2025

It’s really great to soak in a hot spring in the snow in winter! ! ! ! ! ! A local shared with me that this is the Top 1 hot spring in Furano, Shirogane-so, which only locals know about. And the price is very cheap, the private bath is only 40 per person💰 ♨️Attractions: Baiyinzhuang Hot Spring♨️, private baths for men and women and public baths for men and women (swimsuits are required) 50-70 per person💰The public bathing area can accommodate up to 4 men and 4 women.😌If there are many people, you can book the area together haha The hot spring is at the top of the mountain. It is recommended to eat something at the foot of the mountain before going up the mountain. There are white ginkgo trees to admire along the way, so the hot spring is named Baiyinzhuang. This is the most romantic hot spring I have been to so far, haha

Hokkaido, the first place in Honshu to experience autumn foliage Usually, you would have to climb mountains to see the autumn colors on the mountain slopes, but in Hokkaido, you can easily see them by just driving a bit. As expected from a place with such a high latitude! You can witness such breathtaking views within an hour's drive from Biei town. I truly felt the potential of Biei... If you visit Biei on the first weekend of October, make sure to add this to your list! You will encounter scenery beyond your expectations!
