About this Attraction
Furano, located in the heart of Hokkaido, Japan, is a scenic paradise renowned for its vibrant flower fields, picturesque landscapes, and seasonal adventures. Most famously, Furano is home to Japan’s iconic lavender fields, which bloom in full glory between late June and early August. The Farm Tomita is one of the most popular destinations to witness rows of purple stretching into the horizon, along with other colorful blooms such as poppies and sunflowers. In winter, Furano transforms into a snow lover’s paradise with its powdery slopes and excellent ski resorts, attracting both beginners and seasoned skiers from around the world. The Furano Ski Resort, operated by Prince Hotels, offers incredible mountain views and world-class skiing conditions.
Beyond nature, Furano offers a rich cultural experience. Visitors can enjoy local Hokkaido cuisine, try cheese-making at the Furano Cheese Factory, or taste handcrafted wines from Furano Winery. The town’s laid-back rural charm and friendly atmosphere make it a relaxing getaway, especially for couples and families. For those seeking wellness, the region also offers natural hot springs (onsen) with breathtaking views of the Tokachi mountain range.
Furano’s central location in Hokkaido makes it an ideal base for exploring nearby destinations like Biei, known for its patchwork hills, or Asahikawa, famous for its zoo and ramen. Whether you're visiting in summer for flowers, autumn for colorful foliage, or winter for snow sports, Furano promises a memorable experience.
