From early to mid-summer, vibrant waves of purple stretch as far as the eye can see. Furano’s iconic lavender fields extend endlessly to the horizon. When the breeze blows, the flowers sway together, filling the air with a sweet and refreshing fragrance that invites you to take a deep breath. From spring through autumn, poppies, baby’s breath, and various other colorful flowers decorate the fields, offering a fresh scenery and scent with every visit. Even in winter, delicate lavender blooms can be enjoyed inside the greenhouse, where the contrast with the snowy landscape creates a memorable sight. The farm shop is well stocked with souvenirs such as lavender essential oils, perfumes, candles, drinks, and ice cream—perfect keepsakes of your visit.

Spread across the rolling hills of Biei, this flower garden resembles a giant painting using the earth as its canvas. From April to October, dozens of flower varieties—including tulips, lupines, lavender, sunflowers, and dahlias—bloom in vibrant bands of color. Here, you can fully appreciate the vast scale unique to Hokkaido, where sky and land seem to stretch endlessly. Riding the “Shikisai Norokko” tractor bus offers a leisurely tour of the flower fields, allowing you to immerse yourself in the scenery. For those seeking more active fun, buggy and cart rides across the hills provide an exhilarating experience.

Nestled within Shikisai-no-Oka, a farm welcomes you with fluffy alpacas that have adorable eyes. Approaching them, they curiously come close and eagerly eat feed from your hand, showing charming personalities. Spending time with these animals under Hokkaido’s clear air and wide-open skies offers a heartwarming and relaxing experience. Capturing photos here will create perfect memories of your trip.

Tucked away deep in the forest, this mysterious pond’s water isn’t clear but has a milky blue glow that changes color daily depending on sunlight and weather. On sunny days, it shines a bright turquoise; on cloudy days, it shifts to a deep cobalt blue. When the wind is still, dead trees reflect on the water’s surface, creating a magical scene. Although the Blue Pond is an artificial reservoir created as part of volcanic disaster prevention works related to Mt. Tokachi, its beauty feels like a natural miracle.

Countless streams of white water flow down through a cliff crevice, dyed the same mysterious blue as the Blue Pond. The sound of the waterfall and the cool air envelop the surroundings, giving a refreshing sense of calm. In winter, snow-covered trees blend with the whiteness of the waterfall, highlighting the blue-and-white contrast even more vividly. This breathtaking spot reveals different faces with every season, making it a truly unique Hokkaido sight.
