It is a 25-minute walk from JR Furano Station to Farm Tomita. Also from June to mid-September the special “Furano-Biei Norokko-go” train runs between Asahikawa and Furano. The train stops at the special station Lavender Farm Station, which is a 7-minute walk to Farm Tomita.

Farm Tomita has various beautiful flower fields including the 5-hectare lavender field and other flower gardens.

The best time to visit Farm Tomita is in late June to early August. During this time the flowers in the garden will be in bloom and a colorful sight can be experienced.

The peak period for lavender fields in Hokkaido is mid to late July. Don’t miss this period if you plan to view the sight of a hill covered in a purple carpet.

From late June to early August the road to Farm Tomita is crowded if you plan to drive it is better to set your travel plans earlier as a whole. We recommend taking the train for smoother traveling.

1. Traditional Lavender Field

There are three large lavender fields at Farm Tomita. The Traditional Lavender Field is the representative one and also the starting point of Farm Tomita. The history of the farm started from here. In mid-July, the gentle slope is covered with vibrant purple flowers. Looking down from the hilltop, past the purple carpet lies the view of the impressive Tokachi Mountain range and the Furano Basin rural landscape.

#2. Lavender Forest Field on Hill with Two Types of Lavender in Bloom

The Lavender Forest Field is located further past the hill from the Traditional Lavender Field. There are two types of lavenders that bloom, the Noushi Hayazaki and Okamurasaki.

The best viewing season for Noushi Hayazaki is late June and for Okamurasaki it is mid-July. The contrast between the lavenders and the green leaves of the birch trees at the top of the hill is beautiful.

#3. Breathtaking Delicate Gradation! Sakiwai Field Located in the Center of the Farm

Located in the center of Farm Tomita, Sakiwai Field has 4 types of lavender planted here. Okamurasaki, Noushi Hayazaki, Yotei, and Hanamoiwa creates a delicate gradation.

Also located 4km to the east of here is Lavender East, which produces ingredients for perfumes. The never ending purple view is impressive!

This section is only open in July, you can also take the Lavender Bus that goes through the field. (Bus fee: adult 200 yen, elementary school students and below, 100 yen)

Non-Lavender Flower Fields #1. Hanabito Field

#2. Irodori Field: Spread across a Gentle Slope

Irodori Field is spread along a gentle sloped hill. When in full bloom the various color flowers such as lavender, red poppies, pink garden catchflies, and white baby’s breath fill the slope like a rainbow. With late-blooming flowers, the best viewing season is the latter half of July.

#3. Spring Field and Autumn Field

Spring Field and Autumn Field are located next to Sakiwai Field. At the Spring Field, flowers start blooming in mid-May when it’s still chilly. Northern flowers such as Iceland poppies and lupine are grown here.

These cute flowers will be blooming along the lavender season of late June to early July.

The Autumn Field starts to bloom when the Spring Field starts to fade. Various flowers such as beach rose, scarlet sage and marigold are in bloom until early October when it starts to snow.
