Top 28 things to do and attractions in Kamifurano-cho

Farm Tomita in Furano is one of Hokkaidō’s most beautiful flower spots. In summer, the fields turn into waves of purple lavender, mixed with colorful flower rows that look like a painting. Walking through the gardens is relaxing, and the views of the fields with mountains in the background are stunning. Don’t miss the lavender soft cream—it’s fragrant and refreshing on a warm day. Entry is free, and you can also shop for lavender products like perfumes and soaps to take home. A must-visit if you travel to Furano in July or August.

🌸 A Living Masterpiece of Color and Fragrance Farm Tomita is nothing short of breathtaking—a true wonderland where nature and artistry blend seamlessly. The iconic lavender fields, stretching endlessly in waves of purple, are the crown jewel of the farm. When the breeze flows across, the entire hillside dances with lavender fragrance, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. It’s not just a visual delight but also a sensory journey that stays with you long after you leave. ⸻ 🌼 More Than Lavender – A Symphony of Flowers What makes Farm Tomita truly remarkable is that it’s not limited to lavender alone. The farm carefully cultivates a wide variety of seasonal flowers, painting the landscape in ever-changing patterns of color. Stripes of scarlet poppies, golden marigolds, snowy baby’s breath, and vibrant cosmos form breathtaking “rainbow fields” that look like a living painting under the Hokkaido sky. Each section feels like stepping into a different garden, each with its own charm and beauty. ⸻ 🌿 A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Care Farm Tomita doesn’t just showcase flowers—it represents decades of dedication to preserving and celebrating Hokkaido’s floral heritage. Walking through its fields, you can sense the meticulous care behind every bloom. The farm also offers unique lavender-based products—perfumes, essential oils, soaps, and even lavender ice cream—allowing visitors to take home a piece of this floral paradise. ⸻ 🌞 A Place to Slow Down and Feel Happiness Above all, Farm Tomita gives visitors something priceless: a sense of joy and peace. Whether it’s gazing at endless rows of lavender, enjoying the sweet fragrance in the air, or simply standing still to admire the vastness of colors, the farm reminds us how magical nature can be. It is not only a feast for the eyes but also nourishment for the soul. ⸻ ✨ In short: Farm Tomita is a place where flowers speak the language of beauty, harmony, and happiness—a destination that leaves every visitor inspired and enchanted.

It was my first time visiting a well-maintained lavender field, and being surrounded by the fragrant purple blossoms was both magical and fascinating—visually and aromatically. Purple is a rare color in nature; when you think about it, it’s actually not that easy to find naturally occurring purple around us. Here, you can also try lavender products like soaps, air fresheners, and even ice cream. As for the lavender ice cream… how should I put it? It’s not that it tasted bad, but it definitely felt a bit unusual. Let’s just say that until that moment, I had never imagined what fabric softener with lavender scent might taste like.

Visited on 29 Sep 2025 and didn't expect to see so many beautiful flowers here in autumn. There are far fewer crowds compared to spring and summer, allowing you to really enjoy the flower field. Recommend visiting in late September or early October if you're looking to avoid the heat and crowds.

Charming farm! 🌻 Farm Tomita is a beautiful spot to experience Hokkaido's countryside and enjoy the vibrant lavender fields. A perfect place to relax and connect with nature 😊 But unfortunately, when I went there, the lavender flowers had already been harvested and at that time there were only other flowers.

Probably the most famous flower fields in Furano given how all the tour buses were stopping here. Very crowded with tourists. The flower fields were nice and well maintained but I cant help to feel that other less crowded ones nearby were more lush and more enjoyable. Still, worth a visit. Especially enjoyed the gentle fragrance of lavender wafting in the air

After hearing about and seeing Farm Tomita in so many Furano itineraries, we definitely wanted to see as well even though we went in mid-October. There were some colourful flowers in bloom so it was pretty but obviously not as vibrant as in summer. Worth visiting for a few photos.

The view at this place was spectacular. The flowers had a variety of colors and the same was beautiful. The air was refreshing and pictures taken with best with a blue sky. The place was big and you could not finish walking it within 5 hours. You could take a car and drive around it. I visited on a public holiday I did not have to wait and I could buy tickets there directly.

Nice place for flowers field watching but you will pay for the access. The place was extremely crowded, a lot of touristic bus stopped by. The famous potatoes snacks weren't so exciting. They're not salty and not crunchy outside. It was fun renting the kart even though it was expensive compared to the ratio yen/time

Visiting Shikisai-no-oka truly feels like stepping into a painting. The rolling hills are covered with many different kinds of flowers, each arranged carefully to create stunning patterns and colorful waves that stretch across the landscape. From tulips to lavender, sunflowers to marigolds, the gardens showcase the best of every season. What makes this place so special is not only the vibrant colors, but also the way the flowers are planted in creative designs — forming beautiful shapes and breathtaking panoramas that look magical from every angle. Whether you walk among the blooms or view them from above, the scenery is endlessly impressive. The gardens are peaceful, well-kept, and surrounded by the natural beauty of Biei’s gentle hills, making it a perfect place to relax and take photos. Truly, Shikisai-no-oka is a must-visit destination in Hokkaido for anyone who loves nature, flowers, and unforgettable views. 🌿✨

I visited Shikisai-no-Oka in July, and while the weather was hot and humid, arriving right at opening made all the difference. I beat the tour buses and had the chance to capture stunning photos of the vibrant flower fields without crowds. The panoramic views of rolling hills blanketed in seasonal blooms are absolutely breathtaking - like walking through a living painting. Despite the heat, the early morning light and peaceful atmosphere made it a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended for photographers and nature lovers - just go early and bring water!

This is a gorgeous place also called a great paradise! The colorful flowers and gardens are stunning for visitors from all over the world! If you visit Japan, you must have a great visit here ! You can enjoy your visual feast and feel the wonderful atmosphere out of you inner mind! As long as you’re happy and cheerful, you can take your time to relax and enjoy yourself as much as you want to! It’s worth visiting here and also bring you fantastic memories for good!

This flower garden in Biei is very impressive in terms of its expansive size and meticulous upkeep. Spread over rolling hill slopes, the flowering plants create bands of vibrant colours that are a sight to behold. My wife and I visited the garden in July and the flower blooms were fresh and beautiful. Although summer was sunny and hot, our visit was blessed with a very pleasant daytime temperature of 22℃. It was very enjoyable to stroll along the pathways, enjoy the flowers and take photos. As the garden is big, visitors can pay for transport options like tractor-pulled wagons or self-drive golf buggies. At the entrance, there is a big retail shop. Carparking is chargeable at ¥500 per entry and we had to circle around to find a vacant lot. Entry into the garden is also chargeable at ¥500 per adult. Notwithstanding the charges, the garden attracts many visitors. Although the car park was full and the entrance was crowded when we visited, the garden had a relaxing atmosphere as visitors were well spread out across its extensive grounds. In our two trips to Hokkaido, we visited Shikisai-no-Oka and both visits were memorable. It is a “must visit” flower garden.

A reason to come to Furano in itself. There are flowers planted from around April to November every year, so a good six months with varied views as the flower fields are constantly changing depending on the season. The rolling hills create many opportunities for beautiful vistas and photos. The admission fee of 500 yen is incredibly fair too. Definitely a place to visit during Spring, Summer or Autumn.

Nice farm that you can visit to look at the flowers. Their premise is quite big so, it's a nice walk in the summer. The flowers will only bloom in jul so, we were too early when we visited in may. There is a restaurant on site so, you can buy some food if you're hungry.

Came in late september, still has some nice flowers but I can see about >50% of the fields are now past their prime. Still quite nice to walk around, small one story observatory. Small nice shop to purchase anything if needed.

This tourist attraction is definitely an Instagramable must-visit for those who love flowers and colourful flowers at that - with the added bonus, for the more observant visitors, a backdrop of Mount Tokachi volcano that was billowing today when I visited this attraction this afternoon.

Great place. Kamifurano. There is a great car park, so driving here is no problem. This place is great, beautiful thing. Like an ocean of flower 🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺. It has sunflowers, most iconic flowers, and many more that comes in different colours and sizes and styles. It is just soooooooooooooio beautiful

Flower Land Kamifurano has expansive fields of different flowering plants. The fields are separated by walking paths. Because each field occupies a big area, it does not feel crowded and visitors can pose and take photographs anywhere along the perimeter of each field. Looking eastwards, Mount Tokachi and Daisetsuzan National Park are in the background, providing a picture-perfect postcard. When my wife and I were there in July, the flower blooms were fresh despite the summer heat. There were a few wedding couples present having their photographs taken. The different flower fields provided many opportunities for nice photographs. Walking downhill from the main entrance, there is an elevated and sheltered observation wooden deck which provides an overall view of the flower fields. A few benches on the deck provide rest to those who need it. At the end of our visit, we browsed the merchandise in the retail shop and enjoyed cut melon fruit which was very sweet and refreshing. We had a wonderful time enjoying the flower fields without the crowds. Best of all, Flower Land Kamifurano provides free entry! Highly recommended for a visit.

It was not crowded at all. Lavender season is over (nearly), but sunflowers are in full bloom. Free entry.

Very nice location. It's simplicity makes it far better than Tomita in my opinion. Very easy to take good quality photographs. Cafe was good to get some food for the road.

Worth a visit only if you're nearby. While many roads in this area offer straight and scenic views, this one stands out with its unique long stretch of rollercoaster-like ups and downs. The best view is from afar in my opinion, especially when approaching from Panoramic Flower Gardens Shikisai-no-oka (四季彩の丘). There are several spots for car parking along the road, allowing you to stop and take in the scenery.

The location of Rollercoaster Road is no where near any touristy attraction a visitor would visit just to cover this well-known road too. Having said that, my wife and I enjoyed our leisurely drive across winding roads and over rolling country terrain and farm lands to this destination. We journeyed from one end of the road called "Nishi 11sen Doro" to the other end. The road has a single lane in each direction. It runs straight and crests at a hilltop before going downhill on the other side of the hill. At the hilltop, there is a small clearing besides one lane where a few cars can parallel park. As there is limited space, visitors venturing outside their cars to take photographs must be careful with vehicular traffic on the road. There are fast-moving cars and trucks as not all of them are there for a leisurely sightseeing drive.

went in the afternoon and there was no one around, just quiet and open. the weather was really nice ☁️ the scenery of the flat rolling hills was amazing!! felt like the road just stretched into the sky 🩵 such a calm and beautiful drive!

Similar spot to Panaroma Road not too far apart. Absolutely stunning scenery. Great view of mountains, field and road downhill. Again, please don't obstruct the road and traffics.

Not the more spectacular place in Furano, need to drive here, view is decent.

It’s quite an interesting view, but DO beware of oncoming traffic if you are to take photos in the middle of the road

We stopped by and parked our cars by the roadside and took some pictures. You can also find similar locals or tourists stopping by for photo taking.

Nice place. Facility is great. The summer flowers are planted in but not in full bloom yet. Nevertheless still worth a stop.

I visited this place thanks to the rental bicycle shop lady who told me about it. It is a small but beautiful place, free entrance and delicious hot potato with butter to taste (that's what I tried) but they have other food such as corn to try.

(Plz be aware)It was a beautiful farm, we were on the way towards the top point which we thought that was an observation desk. We took the left side trail trying to make a big round of the farm. Somehow in the middle we got yelled out by a Japanese(later we learned he is the farm owner). He claimed that we stepped into a preserve area and he needed to disinfect the entire area because our shoes had bacteria. He wanted to fine us ¥10000. He said if you didn’t pay, he’d called the police. We paid because we wanted to move on our trip.

While looking back on my trip around Northeast Asia over the past few weeks, I came across something pretty shocking in the reviews. Apparently, someone was fined 10,000Yen (about $65) for stepping into a restricted area — and there were quite a few similar stories too. I actually saw the rude employee(or the owner) at that same place yelling, pointing, and almost charging at my friend. It was honestly way over the line. Part of me wondered if it happened because we were Southeast Asian — maybe it was even a bit of discrimination. There was also a small fence with a path beyond it, but no warning signs anywhere. I mean, people make mistakes — and it’s not hard to imagine someone with a disability, a kid, or even a dog accidentally stepping over such a low fence. Is it really fair to fine people like that when there aren’t even any warning signs? If this has happened multiple times already, there are plenty of simple fixes — raise the fence, put up signs, whatever. Instead, it feels like they’d rather collect 10,000 yen from unlucky visitors. I really hope the owner thinks about whether it’s smarter to keep doing that or to make the place more welcoming for tourists. Either way, we’ll never go there again — and we definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone around us.

Saw this beautiful farm while on my way to Asahidake Ropeway. Beautiful flowers with various colour, definitely a must visit to snap photos. No charges to enter but will be good to buy a hot coffee or potato bread or cider to support the farm.

Such a beautiful farm. Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area. It is not too large, but a decent size, so you can really enjoy the place without spending far too much time. There is a nice little shop and restaurant. The potato dishes are great!

Lovely fields of colours with breathtaking views of the farmlands with the warm blue skies in Hokkaida summer!

Beautiful park with lavender fields over looking the northern part of Furano. Less tourists here which was welcome. So many couples taking marriage photos here, just as a testament to how beautiful this place is. Butterflies flying all around. A cafe up top. Ample parking. Toilets present. Vending machines to quench your thirst. Strongly recommended! You can even ring the bell in the middle and have a picture perfect frame of the lavender fields behind.

In July, we were at another lavender field in the late afternoon but the evening sun had cast its shadows across the field and the colours were darkened in the shadows. So, we drove to Hinode Park, having first checked on the Internet that the hill slope would be illuminated by the setting sun. We drove up to the hilltop at Hinode Park. Indeed, we were delighted that the setting sun lit up the lavender fields on the hill slope. It wasn't crowded in the evening. There were a few wedding couples having their photos taken amongst the lavender fields.

Very nice hilly park. However when I went in end of September, most of the flowers were not there anymore. The top of the observatory was nice however. Nice bonus view in the washrooms!

Beautiful park with free admission and parking. Less crowded compared to Tomita. Visited here early July, lavenders are fully bloomed only in some fields and other flowers still in a young stage. Found 1 couple came here for pre-wedding 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️and met 1 couple with a lovely dog 🐶

It's free and it's absolutely beautiful, especially if you come in the peak of summer when all the lavenders are in bloom. It's a lovely colourful garden with a scenic spot for romantic photos. Other times of the year, it's much quieter and less photogenic, but still nice.

I finally visited Hinode Park last week, having seen stunning photos of its lavender fields. Unfortunately, the gloomy weather made it feel more spacious than vibrant. 😅😅😅 Unlike Tomita Farm which still has flowers in early September, Hinode Park is quite low maintenance and lacked blooms during my visit. I’m definitely planning to return in June or July for the blooming season! A quick note to those visitors with elders and young children: it takes about 15 minutes to walk from the car park to the peak which has steps but well paved.

We were the only ones there when we visited the park and it was a lovely climb up the hill. Ringing the bell at the top of the hill was quite the experience and the views of Furano and surrounding areas were beautiful. A must visit when in Furano.

We drove there and found it very easy to visit — plenty of parking and the pond is right next to the car park. There’s a short, easy trail and a small shop selling blue-themed ice cream and drinks, plus toilets on site. There isn’t much else around, but it’s a nice, quick stop if you’re in the area. We visited after exploring Furano and Biei, and it made a pleasant, scenic break.

🌿 A Hidden Gem of Nature and Calm If you’re a nature lover or simply looking for a peaceful escape, this spot is absolutely worth visiting. The surroundings are breathtaking — a perfect blend of lush greenery, soothing sounds of nature, and that crisp, refreshing air that instantly calms your mind. The blue ice cream and drink here are a must-try! They’re not just photogenic but also surprisingly delicious and refreshing after a bit of walking. It’s one of those small but memorable local touches that make the experience feel special. It does get quite crowded, especially on weekends or around midday, but the best part is — you can easily find some quiet by taking a short walk away from the main area. Just a few minutes off the main path, the crowd thins out, and you can enjoy the serenity in peace. A short walk ahead leads you to a beautiful waterfall, surrounded by autumn-colored trees that turn the entire scene into a painting. The soft rustle of leaves, the sparkle of water under sunlight, and the cool mist in the air make it one of the most picturesque spots to sit, relax, and take it all in. Whether you’re here for a quick visit or a half-day adventure, this place is a perfect blend of natural beauty, peaceful corners, and seasonal charm. Bring a camera, comfortable shoes, and a sense of wonder — you’ll leave refreshed and inspired.

This is one of those must-visit landmarks — the water is such a clear, stunning shade of blue that it completely captures your eyes. The autumn air was cool and refreshing, making everything around look even more vibrant. There’s also a small stream nearby, and the water there is the same beautiful blue. 💧🍁✨

✨ Absolutely Breathtaking! ✨ Shirogane Blue Pond is truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The water is a mesmerizing, crystal-clear blue that looks almost unreal — like a painting come to life. The way the sunlight reflects off the surface creates a magical glow that changes with every angle. Even though it was quite cold this time of year, the view was still absolutely amazing — the crisp air actually made the colors feel even more vivid and refreshing. The peaceful, icy atmosphere gave the whole scene a quiet, dreamlike beauty. If you’re visiting Hokkaido, bundle up and go! It’s serene, stunning, and completely unforgettable. 💙❄️🌿

A very popular tourist spot in Hokkaido. However do be prepared that it doesnt not look as blue in real life. Most of the pictures you see online are have strong color filter I assume. Just by changing the lighting/filter of the camera you can achieve the results as well. Still a nice place to visit, there is the Shirahige waterfalls nearby as well that is worth visiting.

This small, mysteriously turquoise lake isn’t a place I’d particularly recommend to anyone who has traveled around the South Island of New Zealand. The reason is simple — after seeing the vast, breathtaking glacial lakes of Tekapo, Pukaki, or Wanaka, which are thousands of times larger and glow with that deep sapphire-blue color, it’s hard to feel much awe here. For everyone else, I’d say this: the lake isn’t very accessible, but if you happen to be nearby on a clear day, it’s worth a quick stop to take a look.

This is my 2nd time visiting this blue pond. The last time was in Sep a few year ago while this time is in Nov, which the pond water has an ice covered. I visited late evening and there were lots of tourists to watch the light show, which was amazing in such a cold weather, -1 degree! The pond spotlighted with changing colors beams and effects. This is truly such a way to attract tourists during winter time, which becomes dark early! Worth to visit more than one time!

✨ Shirahige Waterfall – A Curtain of Silver Whispers ✨ Shirahige Waterfall in Biei is like a scene painted by nature’s most delicate hand. From the cliffs covered in lush greenery, countless streams of pure water cascade down like strands of white silk, creating the appearance of a shimmering silver beard, which is how it earned its poetic name. The water pours gracefully into the turquoise-blue Biei River, where the milky mineral-rich streams blend with the crystal-clear current, giving the river its mesmerizing jade and sapphire tones. Standing before the falls, you can feel both the gentleness and power of nature—the mist cool against your skin, the sound of rushing water echoing like a soft symphony through the valley. Framed by vibrant forests that change colors with the seasons, the waterfall is breathtaking in every moment of the year—lush greens in summer, fiery hues in autumn, and a mystical frozen beauty in winter. Shirahige Waterfall is not just a natural attraction—it is a place where time seems to slow, and the soul feels refreshed by the eternal rhythm of water meeting earth. A true hidden gem of Hokkaido. 🌿💧

It’s a small waterfall — not grand or majestic, but truly beautiful. I visited in October, when the leaves hadn’t fully changed color yet, but it was still stunning. The water was crystal-clear with a soft blue tint, and the cool air felt so refreshing. Parking is free, convenient, and safe. Oh, and don’t forget to grab some takoyaki from the little shop right in front of the waterfall — it’s absolutely delicious, trust me! 😋💧🍂

My second time in winter pilgrimage to Shirahige Waterfall in Hokkaido felt even more magical than the first in September. There’s something deeply serene yet awe-inspiring about this place in winter. The snow-covered peaks of the Tokachi Mountains rise silently in the background, like gentle giants watching over the valley. And then, there’s the waterfall—not frozen, but flowing in the most striking shade of blue. It’s a crystalline, almost surreal turquoise, born from mineral-rich volcanic waters filtering through snowmelt. When sunlight spills over the scene, the snow glitters like diamond dust, and that blue stream stands out vividly—a ribbon of liquid sapphire weaving through a world of white. Every time I visit, it feels like nature is showing off its purest artistry. If you ever find yourself in Hokkaido in winter, don’t just pass by. Stay. Breathe it in. Let the cold air and the sight of that timeless flow remind you how beautiful stillness and movement can coexist. ✨❄️ #ShirahigeWaterfall #HokkaidoInWinter #WinterWonderland

Visited on a weekday in August with perfect sunny weather and no rain. It wasn’t crowded, although the Blue Pond area had several tour buses. Parking was easy and close by. The bridge offers a lovely spot to take in the views, and the waterfall nearby is beautiful with a stunning mountain backdrop. A charming house overlooks the whole scene, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. The clear blue water reflects the sky perfectly, making it a great place for photos. It’s a quiet, scenic spot that’s worth visiting for nature lovers and photographers. There’s also a small shop selling potatoes, ice cream and melons too. Great for some refreshments.

The minerals in the water actually turn it a vibrant teal blue and yes it really is that blue. Almost like a video game scene come to life. The waterfalls are spectacular. Do plan ahead tho because somethings will be closed at certain times of the year. Regardless, it was a wonder to see. I would suggest going to the Blue Pond as well. Really is a must see. My IG handle is nature_boi_sof_kayaks if you want to see more pictures. I'll post a few here but there is really so much more to see. As well I would recommend coming in the fall as the leaves turn vibrant yellows and reds that really pop against all the evergreens throughout the area.

9 Nov 2025 When we arrived, it almost dark. It's very cold today because of snow. A bit slippery as well even I'm wearing winter boots. I liked this spot more than the blue pond. Water's very clear and blue. Mountain and resort are covering with snow, are magical and wonderful.

You should visit this small little waterfall if you are visiting the blue pond also as well. It is nearby. You kind of overlook the waterfall from a bridge itself. The water from the waterfalls meet a clear stream of river water below.

The melon soft serve was creamy and pleasant, though perhaps not as intensely flavourful as expected. The melon juice was refreshing and naturally sweet. The outdoor seating and spacious layout make it ideal for families and tour groups. While it’s clearly geared towards tourists, it’s still a fun and photogenic stop on a sunny day, especially during peak melon season.

Good rest/meal area from the sweltering heat of 40 degrees, weather that I least expected. This Melon House is a collection of eating areas which include obviously the melon, bakery, pizza and burgers/curry rice. Next door to Farm Tomita, but IMHO has sweeter and juicier melons than Tomita. The melon bun is 10/10 with a crusty exterior like a bolo bun but with the sweet natural melon cream. The wagyu beef curry is outstanding.

The best melon I have ever tried. It is delicious. They come in different serves, such as plain melon, orange melon plus green melon, melon plus ice cream, ice cream melon, smoothie melon, melon soft drinks, pizza with melon, melon flavoured ice cream, melon milkshake and much much much much more.

Melon paradise. Seems to be different management from Farm Tomita. A couple of shops selling there from of course the freshly cut melons, ice cream, bread and Japanese food. Free parking onsite.

🍈✨ Tomita Melon House – Furano, Hokkaido 📍 15 Kisenkita, Nakafurano, Hokkaido Not just dreamy melon ice cream 🍦💫 — but their bakery serves the yummiest melon pan 🥯✨ filled with REAL fresh melon 🍈😍 This is something you can’t find anywhere else in the world 🌍💕 Hands down the best melon pan I’ve ever eaten! 🤯 #TomitaMelon #FuranoEats #HokkaidoFood #MelonLover #DessertGoals #FoodieCanada #FoodieVancouver #JapanTravel #SweetEscape 🍈🍦🥯✨

Easily the best melons I’ve had in my life. Incredibly sweet and juicy. Also the most expensive in my life at 1,500 Yen for 2 slices (1 red and 1 green). Still definitely worth a try. The Melon Bun with Red Melon Cream was very good too, excellent bun texture (like a Hong Kong pineapple bun), though the filling could have been better distributed throughout the bun. Ample parking around the area.

Nice and cute place where I had the best honeydew melon soft serve! So tasty, like eating the fruit directly!

9 Nov 2025 Many tourist come to this spot. In my opinion, nothing interesting in especially when no snow. It just a lonely tree which can take a photo from distance. Parking side road nearby

The Christmas tree in Biei is beautiful, but getting there can be a bit tricky. Taxis are scarce, and while you can take a bus, the schedule isn’t frequent, plus you’ll need to walk about 30 minutes. I recommend taking a taxi if you can find one. There were quite a few tourists when I visited, but the photos turned out nice despite the crowd.

Beautiful sight to come n take photo. Narrow road n no parking so come off peak. I came in June around 9am and low peak.

Underwhelming experience, lots of private property which stops you from parking. Be careful when stopping to take photos.

Super crowded but no worry, you will find a spot to take a shot there after 5mins. No need to queue up.

Just a photospot by the roadside. Is a wide area, so you hardly blocked by other tourists. Spent 15 minutes there and move on.

Visited this beautiful spot with no tourists. Only saw one other car there who was taking photos of the landscape like myself. Biei is such a pretty place, loved visiting all this area. Worth the leisurely drive to get here from Furano.

Hinode Park Lavender Garden, located in Kamifurano, Hokkaido, is a captivating destination renowned for its expansive lavender fields. Often hailed as the birthplace of lavender cultivation in Japan, the park is a historic landmark of Japanese floriculture. Its sweeping vistas and the enchanting fragrance of blooming lavender make it a picturesque locale, attracting visitors from across the globe. The garden's lavender fields span approximately 4.2 hectares, with the best viewing period from late June to late July. A late-blooming variety called "Okamurasaki" is mainly planted, allowing visitors to appreciate the lavender even towards the end of the season. In addition to lavender, the park is adorned with a variety of seasonal flowers such as catmint and marigold. One of the park's highlights is the 360-degree panoramic observatory, offering sweeping views of the Tokachi mountain range and the Furano Basin. A popular spot within the park is the "Bell of Love," where couples come to declare their love, set against the backdrop of the lavender fields. The park also features an auto-campground and cottages, making it a suitable base for outdoor enthusiasts. Each July, Hinode Park hosts the "Lavender Festa Kamifurano," a festival celebrating the lavender season. In 2025, the event will feature a light-up period from July 12th to 21st, illuminating the lavender fields from 19:30 to 21:30. On July 19th, the festival will include stage events, food and drink stalls, and group exhibitions, providing a magical nighttime experience. Hinode Park Lavender Garden is easily accessible, located about 1.4 km from JR Kamifurano Station, approximately a 15-minute walk. The park offers free parking and is open 24 hours, though some facilities may be closed during the winter season.

Beautiful for sunset and greatest view of mt Tokachi-dake and other mountains at one spot. We were self driving but I can see only a short distance to walk up from the ground. Unfortunately lavender doesn’t turn purple until July. Yet, this is a great spot for the education of all mountains.

Excellent place to visit without any need to buy tickets or queue for super long like farm tomato. This place is quieter and less crowded. The farm is beautiful and has variety too for close photography. Must visit after 9am as all the shops are closed and even the toilet is not open 🙂. Overall good place to visit.

June 24th 2025, wasn't crowded as the lighting show hasn't start yet until July. Different section of lavender has different bloom date, most of them will only bloom in mid July, nonetheless still a very nice place to visit in June, weather is fantastic as around 23C in the late afternoon.

I visited this park on a public holiday. The parking space was large and there was no need to wait for parking space. There was no need to buy tickets and there was free entrance. You should choose a day with blue sky so that the pictures taken would be more beautiful. When the peak there was a bell for you to ring. Many people took pictures with it and so did I. You could drive the car to the top of the peak and park there.

Sadly the lavenders are changing colour. It is still beautiful and you can smell lavender in the air

Lavender not in full bloom yet, however, not crowded and feels very nice to take in the breeze up on the hill!

No one to guide us when we were there. So we just walked around and tried the free tasting wine. There are paid tasting wine too. Has a small souvenir shop where you can get wine and some snacks.

A delightful stop for wine lovers in the heart of Hokkaido. Furano Winery offers an immersive experience, from the charming entrance at Chateau Furano to the cellar tours showcasing rows of oak barrels and beautifully aged bottles. The tasting area is well-stocked with a diverse selection of local wines, including their award-winning Portland white and fun collaborations with the Hokkaido Fighters. The wines are well-crafted, with a refreshing fruitiness characteristic of the region. Informative displays and a peek into the winemaking process round out a pleasant visit. A must-visit for those exploring the Furano area.

For non wine people, it was a decent experience and time here. Not too big, so 45mins is sufficient to spend here to taste some wine and browse the shop

A small cosy wine factory. There is free wine tasting and a piece of alcohol chocolate to try. You must be 20yr and above to get the free tasting and chocolate.

Pleasant exploring the winery and learning the process of making red and white wine! You can taste 3 wines for free and many other wines at a small cost. You can buy many selections of wine there. They accept most credit cards (but not Youtrip), and they are not tax free at all.

A nice place to visit. A 2 level building and display some local Furano wine. Reasonable price. They even have free and paid wine tasting. Beautiful area too and ample parking. Will be back

Our day trip to the town of Biei had us stopping here. Founded in 1972, views from here are very picturesque. EXPERIENCE: No active production can be seen here, like the majority of public Hokkaido manufacturing. Walk and read the signs if you wish. An aging room can be viewed behind glass windows but I wouldn’t stay in there long as it had a funky odor and what looked like black mold on the walls. Upstairs you’ll find a tasting room with a self-serve station featuring 2 types of white and 2 types of red wine dispensed from tiny barrels. Thereafter is the gift shop. TIP: Their grape juice factory is closed until 2025. OVERALL: Visit to taste the wine and purchase. Skip everything else.

Highly recommended if you are already in the area. Get something from Farm Tomita or here even a soft serve will get you 200 yen off the tractor ticket. We came this morning, the second day they open for business this season. Not crowded at all and most of the visitors were Japanese. The lavender field is way bigger here and this is where they eventually harvest for making perfume and soap. A very good complement to the Farm Tomita main site.

I visited Lavender East on 29th June, 2025. The view was nice but all Lavender not bloomed yet. You can take bus ticket to visit the entire Lavender farm, it take 500 yen/adult. This is the largest lavender farm in Japan. Also you can enjoy Tokachi volcano from here. Enjoy.

I quite enjoyed Farm Tomita. Unfortunately though the lavender was all but blossomed. I would recommend checking in advance so you avoid wasting time. Otherwise they have a nice lavender shop and multiple dessert places so you can always find something to do even if the weather is bad or lavender not blossomed.

Love this place. The aroma of lavender is in the air! We went there at 9 am, and no one was there yet so we had good time taking photos before the crowd comes at around 10am.There is a kinda bus ( tractor) that carry tourists for a ride around the lavender farm. This place is less crowded compared to the main Tomita Farm.

This is Farm Tomita's second area of fields in the bottom of the valley. There is a gift shop, food stand, toilets and a covered seating area. There are also far fewer visitors than at the main site. They offer tractor rides around the fields. This is where you come if you want a lavender field picture with no people in it.

This farm is not very big but it is beautiful. Although some area do not have colorful plant or flower, but it is still beautiful. Enjoy taking a scroll.

Very vast and endless fields of lavender—it was such a joy to see them. To be honest, the ice cream was just average, though the price was reasonable.

Just a normal road in the Furano area of Hokkaido, but there's a designated place with enough space for a few cars to stop by the roadside. Lovely photos, especially if you get low to the ground with a telephoto lens as it really emphasises the straight length of the road and its undulating curves.

Quite a scenic spot in what feels like the middle of nowhere. Would recommend if you’re passing through or if it’s a slight detour to a journey. I went when there wasn’t a soul around, except for two old ladies passing through in their cars. It’s a slightly surreal experience because it’s so quiet. You can hear the farmers playing their music and the birds chirping. Would recommend.

The road is astounding, with its fabulous roller coaster like shape. The fields around it are beautiful and calm.

Very picturesque road, if there weather is good, you can see Mt furano in the background. Very nice picture taking spot.

It's a spot on a small road with amazing view. Both of the road downslope and the fields and mountains around. Very beautiful. There are some small spots where you can park a car to take photos. Please be mindful and don't get in the way of any passing by traffic.

We took a slight detour to visit this place on the way to our next destination. It's not a must-visit spot in my opinion, especially since the mountain was covered with clouds that day. There isn't direct parking available, but you can find some random spots nearby where you can park and walk over.

On the way from Tomita farm to Shikisai... Stop along the way to shoot photos

Great art museum. The painting of Goto Sumio are really well worth a detour. There are ample parking lots.

A gem: we stopped at this museum and discovered amazingly refined and delicate paintings, incredibly beautiful snow landscapes. English explanations and French exhibition catalogue available !

This was one of the most beautiful art museums I’ve been to - in a stunning location and with landscapes that art sublime in their beauty and mastery of traditional Japanese landscape styles. Worth going out of your way to see. They offer English subtitles on videos about the life of the artist and were very welcoming. The restaurant upstairs also served a delightful lunch - I recommend the Spanish mackerel.

Amazing little gallery/museum with wonderful works for art. We saw it driving down the road and definitely recommend it for a quick stop.

Museum display painting collection of a great Japanese artist. All the painting are amazingly powerful with finest technique and detail. Definitely worth a visit.

What a nice surprise. In the middle of Hokkaido countryside there is a small museum with some impressively BIG paintings. Master Gotosumio has been painting his work literally over decades - working on the SAME paintings. Super impressive. And in the middle of inspiring landscape.

I would give it 6 stars if that was possible. Ana amazing painter who has decided that central Hokkaido was both, his inspiration and location for his museum. The artworks are awe inspiring, hard to take them in in one go.

These 2 mini buildings houses a souvenir store, food court, a bakery, a fresh produce store and ice cream store. Easy to browse and not too crowded. Free parking onsite.

We visited in August and really enjoyed our time here. There’s plenty of fresh produce to buy and take home, plus bakeries, ice cream, and souvenirs for both gifting and memories. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, snack, and enjoy the town’s atmosphere. We spent some time walking around, tasting different foods, and relaxing—it felt refreshing. The tomato juice is especially tasty, and the bakeries are worth trying as well. It’s also convenient that the shop offer tax refunds for 5,000 JPY and above, which makes shopping easier for tourists. Overall, it’s a great stop if you’re traveling in the area, whether to stock up on local goods or simply enjoy some time off the road.

Furano Marche is the ultimate one-stop shop for souvenirs. This fantastic market conveniently brings together a wide variety of local goods and handcrafted items from all over the region, making it easy to find the perfect memento. But it's not just for shopping—the market is also a foodie's paradise. You can find a mouthwatering selection of local foods, refreshing drinks, and delightful desserts. It's a highly recommended stop for anyone wanting to experience the best of Furano's flavors and products all in one place.

Its a small area of shops that sell mainly souvenirs and food. There is a small grocery shop, a small food court as well and a couple of souvenir shops. I think the prices are pretty reasonable so you can do most of your souvenir shopping here. There is plenty of free parking.

Small city and this place makes a good stop over for toilet and coffee breaks, thus output and input Cafe serves interesting local bread with their ingredients, coffee is soothing As usual, lots of Japanese snacks and biscuits available

Great shopping and food centre in an easy to access location. There is a bakery, cafe, farmers market, souvenir shop and several food stands here. There is another part of the complex across the street from the main building, this contains more cafes and restaurants. The parking is free and time unlimited. It is very busy but the car park staff are super organized, I only waited 5 minutes to park. You can park here and easily access central Furano.

Good place to get lavender icecream. There is also a lot of baked delicacies in this mall - probably some of the best i have had in my trip.

This was the first lavender farm I’d been to in Japan. This one is in Naka-Furano. We followed the pathway painted purple from the train station to the farm…very easy. We paid 700 yen to go up and down on the chairlift. At the top, there are photo spots. We enjoyed our time at this small farm.

My wife and I arrived at the lavender field on one evening in July but the sun setting behind the hill had cast the entire field in shadows. The vibrant colours of flowers were subdued. So, we left and returned early the next morning. This time, the flower fields were lit under a clear blue sky. We were so early that our rental car was the only vehicle in the car park. There was no crowd and we almost enjoyed the flower fields to ourselves! The flowers were beautiful in the early morning light without strong sunlight and contrast. Some of the flowering plants have not fully grown in their plots, and the earth is visible between the plants. Notwithstanding, it was still a beautiful sight.

The chair lift was so much fun! There are a lot of photo stops at the top so it was definitely a memorable experience. Loved every moment of it!

Beautiful flowers! Great place to chill since it's not crowded. The chair lift ride to the observation deck was fun 😁

Went on 16 June 2025. The chairlift price has increased to 700 yen for adults and 350 yen for children. Even though there are not a lot of flowers, it was still fun to go up and enjoy the view from up there.

A smaller flower field compared to others like Shikisai-oka or Tomiya farm next by, but I think it’s good to stop by if you have already been to the other places. There is free parking, ice cream, and especially a lift chair to take you to the top. Therr are also many set ups for sitting, relaxing, taking photos. I came during the summer holiday and oh my it was full of foreign tourists though…

Visited on June 24 in the early morning. You can easily visit here before going to Farm Tomita. There are many varieties of flowers here, they are all being planted in a very organized way. Absolutely stunning if they are all in full bloom. I am sure you will have a better experience here around mid July and you can be on the cable car too.

Miyamatoge Art Park & Lavender Field is a lovely spot in Kamifurano, known for its seasonal lavender blooms and art displays. The park features a Ferris wheel and the Trick Art Museum, where visitors can enjoy unique, interactive exhibits. From here, you also get a beautiful view of Mt. Tokachi and Mt. Furano, adding to the area’s scenic charm. When we visited in winter, the park was closed, but even from the outside, we could admire the peaceful winter landscape and imagine how lively it must be during the warmer months.

Visited during summer on the way to Biei. Was a nice place to drop in to with a spot to buy icecream and take in the views. There was a souvenir shop and some food stands as well. We also had a ride on the Ferris wheel which the kids enjoyed. Overall was a good spot to have a look around.

No entry ticket request with free parking lot avail.

Nice view. Good for a rest stop.

(Translated by Google) Because the weather was bad, I decided to visit this museum indoors. The staff were very friendly, especially Ms. Yamaguchi. I had casually left my bag in a corner, but she recognized it and found it to return it. I can't imagine how much trouble it would have been if it had been completely lost. I'm so grateful for her thoughtfulness and kindness. The exhibitions in the museum are very interesting. Through your camera and eyes, you can see many visual changes, and you can also interact with the paintings to take fun photos. Although it was a bit windy, the Ferris wheel was still running. The package ticket cost 1500 yen, which felt very reasonable. The Ferris wheel offered a beautiful view of the Furano area. Today I tried glassware crafting. If you're not in a hurry, I recommend getting a hand-carved glass souvenir for 600 yen (originally 700 yen, but you can get a 100 yen discount with the museum's coupon). It's a great deal and a great souvenir. There are not many shops outside. There are stalls of sculptor and painter Nagai Ayako. I am more interested in paintings, so I bought hand-painted magnets and small picture frames in the painter's shop. The painter's works are mainly based on the scenery of Furano. The style of painting is very warm, and each painting is unique. After visiting the art museum, you can go to the shops outside and you may gain something different.

(Translated by Google) The regular price for adults is ¥1,300, but you can get a ¥200 discount with a coupon on the website... It may be a little pricey. If it was under ¥1,000, it would be even better. The content is fun for kids, and it's a great place for a rainy day, but I think it's enough if you go once. I'd like to go again in a few years.

At Jalan, there is a plan for 1,000 yen per adult for a 3-piece set that includes a trick art museum, Ferris wheel, and cheese tart, and since I used Jalan's 1,000 yen discount coupon, it was available for 2 adults for a total of 1,000 yen. I was very satisfied! 😊 lol I thought the trick art museum would be a bonus, but I found it surprisingly enjoyable, and the guy guiding me there was polite and kind 🤗 The view from the Ferris wheel and observation deck was amazing, and it felt really good! Oh, the cheese tart was delicious too 😋 I’m glad I wentヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ (Original) 2021年10月に訪問しました。 じゃらんで、トリックアート美術館・観覧車・チーズタルトの3点セットで大人1人1,000円のプランがあり、じゃらんの1,000円割引クーポンを使用したので、大人2人で合計1,000円で利用できて、とても満足できました！😊笑 トリックアート館はオマケ程度に考えてたのですが、これが意外と楽しめて、案内のおじさんも丁寧で優しかったです🤗 観覧車や展望台からの眺めも素晴らしく、めちゃくちゃ気持ち良かったです！ あ、チーズタルトも美味しかったですー😋 行って良かったーヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ

Nice stop along the way driving to Furano. Beautiful open view to the mountains and rolling fields around the area

Is better to access via car. The view is nice

(Translated by Google) I visited in September on a sightseeing bus tour. I could see a lot of vast fields and felt the grandeur. Please note that the women's toilet is only Japanese style. There was also one toilet for wheelchair users. (Original) 9月に観光バスツアーで訪れました。 広大な畑が沢山見えて雄大さを感じました。 女子トイレは和式しかないため注意です。車椅子用のトイレも1つありました。

(Translated by Google) The view was absolutely stunning. Wonderful. This is what it means to be left speechless. The view in late June. I was half envious and half dreaming of the future, thinking that a life like this is possible. It was a nice, empty spot. Make sure to climb up the slightly elevated observation deck next to the parking lot. (Original) 絶景も絶景。素晴らしい。。 言葉を無くすとはこのことかと。 6月後半の景色。こんな暮らしもあるんだなぁと、羨ましさ半分、将来の夢半分。 空いていて良い場所でした。 駐車場横の少し高い展望台は必ず登ってください。

(Translated by Google) 2025/05/15 Although the toilet is not open, the parking lot is sufficient. We didn't stay there for long, but in mid-May we could still see snow-covered mountaintops extending all the way from the north. The Daxueshan National Park is truly beautiful. There are several cherry blossom trees to see at the bottom of the slope in April. (Original) 2025/05/15廁所雖然沒有開放，停車場夠用就好。大家停留時間也不久，5月中還是可以看到山頭白雪連成一片，從北邊一直延伸，大雪山國家公園真是美麗。斜坡下4月有幾棵櫻花可以看。

(Translated by Google) The map booklet I received from Nippon Rent-A-Car had a map code, so I entered it and headed there.

Adult fees was 1300yen. Swung by while on our way to Furano. Good place to take a break from the drive and enjoy some art works.

It was nice then I thought! More selection to seen round and staff were really nice!

We had fun here. The arts are really fascinating. And the staff were all nice. We paid ¥1500 for the admission fee plus the ferris wheel. It was a good deal since the Museum's admission fee is ¥1300 and for the ferris wheel, I believe it's ¥600.

Very cool some quite unique pieces Maybe set aside 1hour to view the whole place

Interesting place to visit. Entry is 1500 yen and there are about 30 exhibits.

Really neat place for you and your family. So many trick arts to experience. Our children had fun posing with some of the pictures. It was a great experience. All of the small venders were closed that day, but the ice cream shop was open.

Many of paintings takes lot of photos and the staff is very nice yo explain yo us in English.

We drove by this place and rest for a short while. Great view from the top of the park.

(Translated by Google) This park was located behind the parking lot where I suddenly stopped by while touring. Good view! There are chairs! There is a plaza! We ate a relaxing bowl of ramen while watching the smoke from Mt. Tokachidake. I want to go again. (Original) ツーリング途中でふと寄った駐車場の裏手がこの公園でした。眺め良し！椅子あり！広場あり！十勝岳の噴煙眺めながら、ゆったりとカップラーメン食べました。 また行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) There is free parking and restrooms, which are important for travelers. The view is also great. (Original) 여행객에게 있어 소중한 무료주차장과 화장실이 있습니다.전망도 멋있습니다.

(Translated by Google) As you drive through the Kamifurano city area on National Route 237, you will see a small hill on your right. There is also a parking lot 🅿️🚗 parallel to the national highway. If you go to the back of this area, you will see the white line of the parking space so that you can park in a circle👀!! ️. There are stairs on the hill, and if you go up the stairs, you can see the whole city. You can also see the Tokachidake mountain range in the distance. This is Miharashidai Park. A toilet 🚻 is also installed. Additionally, there is an information desk for the log house ``Information Station Observatory'' and a vegetable sales house located adjacent to the site. (Original) 国道２３７号線の上富良野市街地を走りするど、右側に小高い丘が見える。国道横に平行して駐車場🅿️🚗もある。この奥に進むと駐車スペースの白線が円形に沿っての駐車できるようになっている👀‼️。 丘の所に階段が設置されていて、その階段を上り切ると、市街地を一できる。さらに彼方には十勝岳連峰も一望できる。ここが見晴台公園である。 またトイレ🚻も設置されている。さらに隣接してログハウスの「情報ステーション見晴台」の案内所、野菜直売所のハウスも設置されている。

(Translated by Google) A clean toilet with an automatic door. The view from the hill is amazing. I'm so grateful to be able to sleep in my car. It's a quiet, comfortable, and wonderful place. (Original) 自動ドアの綺麗なトイレ 高台から見渡せる景色がいい感じです 車中泊できるのが本当にありがたい 静かで心地よくて素晴らしいところ

(Translated by Google) This park offers a panoramic view of Furano city in the foreground, with views of Mount Tokachi in the Daisetsuzan mountain range in the distance. The park itself is small, and if it weren't for the view, you'd probably just stop by the toilet and leave immediately. However, the views are spectacular. It's definitely worth stopping by just to see the view. There's also a log cabin-style tourist information center on the premises. There's also a vegetable direct sales store, but it was closed when I went. (Original) 遠くに大雪山連峰の十勝岳などを望み、手前には富良野市街が一望できる公園。公園自体は小さく、景色がなければちょっとトイレによってすぐに出発するような小ささ。ただし景色は絶景。景色を見るためだけによるのも全然あり。敷地内にはログハウス風の観光案内所もある。野菜直販所もあるが僕が行ったときは閉まっていた。

Went in late July, unfortunately it was super cloudy and it was a little late for the alpine flowers but there was still plenty to see. Decided to make a loop by continuing on to Kamifurano-dake, which had stunning views by midday. Was lucky to see a little animal known as "pika" near the start of the trail. Be aware some short sections were insect hell.

(Translated by Google) It had been a long time since I had climbed a mountain, but it took me 3 hours to climb and 2.5 hours to descend starting from the trailhead at Tokachidake Onsen. Even if you enjoy the scenery at the top of the mountain, I think it will take about 6 hours to get back. The scenery is nice, which is encouraging, and there are some flat sections and well-maintained sections, so it's tiring but not exhausting. Personally, I found the mountain to be just the right level of difficulty. I climbed it in August, but even at this altitude in Kamifurano, it can get hot during the day if the weather is nice, so I recommend starting the climb while it's still cool. (Original) 久しぶりの登山でしたが、十勝岳温泉にある登山口からスタートして登り3時間、下り2.5時間かかりました。山頂で景色を楽しんでも、6時間くらいあれば帰ってこれるかと思います。 景色が良いので励まされますし、平坦な区間、整備された区間もあるので、疲れるけれどボロボロになることはない、個人的にはちょうど良い難易度の山でした。 8月に登りましたが、上富良野でこの標高でも天気が良いと昼は暑いので、涼しいうちから登り始めることをおすすめします。

(Translated by Google) 2024.7.3 Three years ago, I headed for the traverse route towards Kamihoro from the shoulder of Mt. Furano, so this will be my first time on Mt. Furano. The Hakusan ichige was in full bloom and there was a huge colony, and there was a huge amount of it. Many other types of flowers were also blooming. Now, the true season is still a week or 10 days away, so how many flowers will bloom then? (Original) 2024.7.3 ３年前は富良野岳の肩からカミホロ方面への縦走路に向かってしまったので、富良野岳自体は初になります。 ハクサンイチゲが満開で大群落、凄い量でしたね。 その他にもたくさんの種類の花が咲いていました。 これでまだ本当の旬は１週間か10日先というのですから、その時はどれだけの花が咲くのでしょう。

(Translated by Google) The hike takes 3 to 3.5 hours one way, and hiking shoes are recommended. There are relatively few steep climbs. The flower fields are beautiful. If you're lucky, you might see pikas or Hokkaido chipmunks. There are no shops along the way after you set off. (Original) 片道3〜3時間半、ハイキングシューズでお願いします。比較的、急登は少ないです。花畑がきれいです。運が良ければ、ナキウサギやエゾシマリスが現れます。出発後、途中に売店はありません。

(Translated by Google) When I visited in the spring, it was closed, so I visited again. I remember that Ayako Miura interviewed many of the townspeople in Kamifurano to write her novel about the mudslide area, so I wanted to visit there at least once🆗. According to the document, this building was demolished and restored from the residence of Teijiro Yoshida, the village mayor who worked hard to recover from the mudslide caused by the eruption of Mt. Tokachidake in 1920. It is said to be a valuable building that still exists, as it was damaged by a mudslide during the Taisho era. It is said that it was first settled in the 30th year of the Meiji era and was built in 1997 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of its founding. As you might expect from the outside, it is a one-story wooden building✌️. Outside, there is a literary monument erected from driftwood discovered at the factory site during the mudslide, as well as a literary monument to author Ayako Miura's novel ``Mudslide Area.''✌️ Inside the museum, there are many valuable materials and exhibits, including explanations of the damage caused by the mudslide and items left behind by Mayor Yoshida. (Original) 春に訪ねた際は、休館日であったので、再度訪ねた。三浦綾子さんは、「泥流地帯」の小説を書き上げるのに、上富良野て、町民の沢山の方々から、聞き取りをして書き上げたと記憶していたので、一度は訪ねてみたいと想いしていた🆗。 資料では、この建物は、十勝岳が大正１５年の噴火による、泥流からの復興に、尽力された当時の吉田貞次郎村長の住宅を、解体復元したとある✌️。 大正時代の泥流の被害を受けた建物として、現存されているのは貴重との事である。 明治３０年に入植から、開基１００年を記念して１９９７年(平成９年)に建設されたとある。 外観も当然だが、木造の平屋だ✌️。 屋外には、工場現場から発見された、泥流時の流木や、作家の三浦綾子さんの小説「泥流地帯」の文学碑か建立されている✌️。 館内は、この泥流被害の解説や、吉田村長の遺品のほか、沢山の貴重な資料、展示品がある。

(Translated by Google) Originally, the trip was to take in the flowers, but I decided to take a look at the history of this area, but when I saw the sign on the front that said it was only open on Saturdays and Sundays in June, I gave up and was just about to take a photo of the exterior and head home, when a person who was mowing the grass in the area specially opened it for me. It is said that the village chief's house from that time, which miraculously remained, was relocated here in 1923, when Tokachidake erupted and caused a terrible mudslide that killed 144 people. Also, I was kindly allowed to see the inside of the house, and I learned a lot from seeing the items that gave me a sense of what life was like back then. The large tree lying there had been pulled out of a mudslide at the time, and the charred remains looked fresh. There was a monument to Ayako Miura, a writer from Asahikawa who became famous for ``Freezing Point'', who wrote the story of a family at that time. It is deeply moving to think that such difficult history and efforts have led to the landscape we see today. If you happen to be in the area, please stop by and take a look. I'm sure you'll be impressed by the beauty of the flowers you see afterwards. (Original) 本来は、花を見ながらの旅なのですが、ふとこの地方の歴史も少しかじってからと思いまして訪ねたのですが、６月は土曜日、日曜日しか開館予定だと表の貼り紙を観て仕方がないなぁと諦めて外観だけでもと写真のみで帰ろうとしていたところ、周囲を草刈りしていた方に特別開けていただきました。大正13年に十勝岳の噴火で泥流が襲いひどい災害にあって１４４人の犠牲者を出した歴史、その時の村長さんの家が奇跡的に残った建物がここに移築されたそうです。又ご親切に家の中も拝見させていただき当時の生活を感じさせられる品々も拝見して凄く勉強になりました。横たわる大木は当時の泥流から引き出されたもので、焦げた後等が生々しく感じられました。その時のある家族の物語を書き下ろしたのが、旭川出身の(氷点)で有名になった作家、三浦綾子の記念碑が側に立っていました。そういう辛い歴史と努力によって、今の風景に繋がるのだと思うと感慨深いものがあります。どうか、お近くに行かれることがあれば立ち寄って見てくださいましたその後に見る花はきっと美しい感動を覚えると思います。

Beautiful view of the mountain range

Nice. Worth a visit if nearby

(Translated by Google) ☆Asahino Yamabiko Highlands☆ That roller coaster road I stopped by and took some pictures. As expected, the blue sky without clouds is beautiful ☆ A light layer of snow covers the mountains of Tokachi. It was nice to have it covered ☆彡 Last time there was still snow and the weather was bad. I couldn't see the mountains, but this time too. It's evening and the rain is falling... The beautiful scenery was not good... I will take revenge again... Furano area has many tourist spots It's a place I honestly didn't know about. Seeing the Tokachi Mountain Range from a distance It's nice, but the mountains are so close It's refreshing to see it☆ It's early this time and the weather is bad. I would like to visit on a sunny day next time. I found a place I can enjoy again ☆ (Original) ☆旭野やまびこ高地☆ あのジェットコースターの路 続きに寄って撮って見ましたよ やはりホボ雲無き青空が綺麗です☆ 十勝の山々が薄っすらと雪が 被っているのも素敵でしたね☆彡 前回はまだ残雪があり天気も悪く 山々が見られませんでしたが今回も 夕方で雨がポツラポツラ降っている… 奇麗な景色がダメでしたね… またリベンジします… 色々観光地が多い富良野方面 正直知らなかった場所っす 遠くから十勝連峰を見るのも イイですがこんなに近く山々を 見えるのは爽快ですね☆ 今回は時期も早いし天候も悪い 次回、晴れた日に訪れたいですね また楽しめる場所が見つかりました☆

(Translated by Google) A relatively flat, scenic spot in the hills of Kamifurano. The parking lot can accommodate about three cars. It's not a suitable location for large campervans, but if you're touring by motorcycle, with views of Mount Tokachi and other mountains in the distance, it's quite a nice place. It's actually quite high up in the mountains, It's amazing that it was developed. Please note that this is purely my personal opinion. (Original) 上富良野の丘にある比較的平地の景色の良い場所 駐車場は3台くらい停められます 大型のキャンピングカーなどには 不向きな場所ですが ここまでバイクツーリングするなら 遠くに十勝岳などが見えるので 中々良いかもしれません。 実際にはかなり山の上で 開拓したことは凄いと感じられる場所でした 因みにあくまでも 個人の感想ですので あしからず

(Translated by Google) October 2, 2025 Last year, it was cloudy 😢, but today we were blessed with clear skies, offering magnificent views of the Tokachi Mountain Range and Kamifurano. ☺👍 4 photos, 2 videos Next, we headed to the Hinode Park Observatory. (Original) 2025年10月2日 昨年は曇り空でした😢、晴天に恵まれて十勝岳連峰、上富良野の雄大な景色最高です。☺👍 写真4枚、動画2本 次ぎは『日の出公園展望台』へ

(Translated by Google) It's a difficult place to get to without navigation, but the views are amazing. Mt. Tokachi spreads out before your eyes. But only on clear days. (Original) ナビで案内させないと行きにくい場所ですが、景色は素晴らしい。 十勝岳が目の前に広がります。 ただし晴れの日限定ですが。
