Furano

Furano Hokkaido is a town famous for its fields of flowers, especially lavender. When approaching on the bus, you see vast meadows full of flowers. One of the most famous places to visit in these parts is Tomita farm where, throughout the year (or most of the year, not in the harsh winter) you can see the wonderful flower fields and lavender. When I went they had some fields that were fully matured and others that were just bushes. Also the whole farm is full of charming little houses that give lots of information about the process of growing lavender and its properties and there is even a laboratory and a greenhouse.
