HOKKAIDO
FURANO LAVENDER FIELDS is one of my best FAVORITE places to go to in Hokkaido. By car from Sapporo to be exact is 2 1/2 hrs & by train from the airport is around 3hrs and 43 mins. but you need to change train from Minami-Chitose to Shintoku Stn. to Higashi Shikagoe Stn. to Furano Stn. My family LOVE to go almost every year, most especially when we have friends coming to Sapporo. July is the best month. On the way to Furano, one can make a STOP at Hokuryu and Biei as well for more flower fields to see. I

appreciate the BEAUTY of how they plant all these kinds of flowers, not only the lavender. I feel like I am in Paradise and see GOD’S CREATIONS, so refreshing to the mind and heart. Do not forget to eat the yummy soft-served LAVENDER CREAM, the grilled or boiled HOKKAIDO WHITE AND YELLOW CORNS and many more organic foods served in restaurants that you can only eat there in Furano! - Susan Fujita, Hokkaido
