Description
Chase summer romance in Hokkaido! Pastoral Patchwork Road, dreamy Blue Pond, stunning Shikisai-no-Oka flower fields, romantic Tomita Farm—gather the most beautiful summer in one trip.
Embark on an unforgettable summer day trip from Sapporo and immerse yourself in the postcard-perfect beauty of Biei and Furano in Hokkaido. This journey will lead you to experience the most stunning natural wonders and culinary feasts of Japan’s northern island.
In the early morning, we offer you two convenient meeting points. Board our comfortable sightseeing coach, and as the scenic views unfold along the way, our first stop is Sunagawa Rest Area for a 15-minute break. This gives you a chance to stretch your legs, recharge, and get ready for the exciting journey ahead.
In the morning, as we enter the countryside of Biei, the iconic "Patchwork Road" comes into view. You will admire this pastoral masterpiece from the comfort of the bus. The rolling land is "stitched" into a giant patchwork pattern by colorful farmlands, dotted with windmills and lush green hills, just like a fairy-tale world. Next, we arrive at the dreamlike "Blue Pond", a natural treasure renowned for its ethereal turquoise waters. Surrounded by white birch forests and soft moss, the color of the water shifts with the light, creating a surreal and otherworldly atmosphere.
Our floral adventure continues at "Shikisai-no-Oka", a sprawling 15-hectare panoramic garden with over 30 varieties of seasonal flowers. From vibrant lupines, cosmos, and sunflowers to delicate daisies, the hillsides burst with a kaleidoscope of colors from spring to autumn, unfurling like a rainbow carpet stretching to the horizon.(The tractor tour and alpaca ranch in Shikicai Hill are paid items, and guests need to purchase tickets on site.)
After exploring the flower fields, we head to Furano Pastoral Canteen for lunch. This cozy farmhouse restaurant perfectly embodies the gifts of Hokkaido’s land. You can choose from a lavish farm buffet featuring local specialties, or order à la carte classics like ramen and soba noodles.
In the afternoon, we visit "Tomita Farm", the most iconic lavender destination in Furano and a symbol of Hokkaido’s summer. Lose yourself in the endless sea of purple lavender, where over 100 other flower species—including poppies, gypsophila, and red salvia—also bloom in full glory.
As the trip draws to a close, we make a brief 10-minute stop at Iwamizawa Rest Area before returning to Sapporo, bringing this magical summer journey to a perfect end. This is more than just a sightseeing tour; it is a deep connection with the natural beauty and culinary treasures of Hokkaido, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We look forward to meeting you on this unforgettable adventure!
