the place
Hills in bands of purple, white and gold, and the mountains behind.
The lavender was planted here for perfume oil in the middle of the last century and stayed for its colour. At Farm Tomita the fields run down the slopes in stripes of purple, white, pink and gold, and the older fields away from the farm shop keep the same view with fewer people in it.
The Summer Tour of Hokkaido gives Furano a day from Biei, half an hour away, where the tour spends two nights at Mori no Ryotei Biei. The Custom Tour of Japan can bring Furano and the hills of Biei into a journey created around your party alone.
