Furano, the center of Hokkaido



"Furano" is a rual town and known as beautiful landscape.

My some relatives live in Furano, so I used to go to Furano every summer. 

The best time to visit is July because lavender is in full bloom.




Lavender is cultivated in Frano for a over half century.

Lavender begins blooming in late June and the peak is from around mid July to early August.

Nowadays, many tourists vist to view its field every summer.  

There are many farms, and the "Tomita Farm" is the most popular farm.

Tomita farm is free to enter and has a caffe and shop beside Lavender field.


You can look around the field with the 'Lavender bus' for 15 minutes.

In winter, many people enjoy skiing.


Furano ski area is also one of the famous resort spots in Hokkaido.

"Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU" is my recommended hotel.

This resort area consists of  hotel towers, restaurants, a chapel, massage&spa salons, hot springs, a swimming pool, ski areas, and Ice village. 

In summer, there are golf courses. 

                                   
'Ice village,' the activity area is made of ice and snow.



It also has an Ice skate rink. 


Furano has produced local wines since 1972.

The factory, called "Furano Wine Kojo" is located on the hill overlooking the town.


You can taste it until you are buzzed. lol

I LOVE Furano wine♡

If you want to enjoy skiing or viewing a lot of nature&Lavender, and local wines, 
I recommend you to go to Furano!
