  • ★SHIKITABI HOKKAIDO★ -Summer in Hokkaido- 「Farm TOMITA」

    Farm TOMITA

    The lavender that fills the entire field is so vivid it will take your breath away. There are many types of flower fields in the large garden, so you can enjoy the beautiful flowers to your heart’s content. There are also shops selling lavender goods such as potpourri and perfume, and cafes, so it is recommended to take a relaxing break while looking at the flowers. Lavender blooms early from late June to mid-August, but you can also enjoy visiting in seasons other than summer, such as in the greenhouses where lavender and geraniums bloom beautifully.
