Farm Tomita is the pioneer farm that made Furano famous for its lavender fields. Nowadays, in addition to lavender, it delights visitors with seasonal flowers. Surprisingly, Farm Tomita offers access to its lavender fields for free.
Although it’s called Furano, it’s actually located in Nakafurano Town, not Furano City. However, because this area is commonly referred to as Furano, it’s known as “the lavender town of Furano.”
Inspired by the success of Farm Tomita, there are several lavender fields in the vicinity. This area has become a summer tourist destination in Hokkaido, where visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers until October.
Farm Tomita has two lavender fields. One is the field on the mountain side that has been there since its establishment.
The other is located about 4 km east of Farm Tomita, in the Higashinaka area, heading towards the Tokachi Mountain Range. Surprisingly, this is Japan’s largest lavender field. Originally, this land was paddy fields that have been developed for planting lavender as a fragrant crop.
Surrounded by the rural area of Furano Basin, it offers views of the Tokachi Mountain Range to the east and the majestic Furano Nishidake and Ashibetsudake mountains to the south, continuing into the Yubari mountain range.
Even after the lavender season ends, it’s still worth stopping by here. On clear days, you can enjoy the scenery and indulge in delicious sweets.
