Your journey starts with a scenic drive to some of the most beloved destinations in the area, where you’ll experience the stunning beauty of nature, local culture, and unique attractions. Your first destination is the charming Furano Marche, a delightful marketplace where you can discover a wide variety of locally made products.

Lunch is not included in the tour, but you can either bring your own before coming to the meeting place or purchase a meal at Furano Marche.

Next, you’ll head to Farm Tomita, one of the most famous flower farms in Hokkaido. Known for its breathtaking lavender fields, this spot is a true paradise for nature lovers and photographers.

The striking color of the water, which changes depending on the season and the sunlight, is a result of natural minerals in the area. It’s an awe-inspiring spot for both reflection and photography, as the tranquil atmosphere invites you to slow down and take in the beauty of the natural world.
