When is the best time to see the lavender in bloom at Hokuseiyama?

The lavender blooms from mid-July to early August, with the peak viewing period typically occurring during the Nakafurano Lavender Festival in mid-July. The garden operates during summer from late June through mid-August, giving visitors a window of several weeks to experience the flowers at their best.

Can young children ride the chair lift?

The chair lift is a single-seat design, which means passengers cannot hold children, pets, or backpacks during the ride for safety reasons. While preschoolers aged 3-6 have ridden the lift in the past, children must be able to ride independently. Parents should assess whether their child can manage the five-and-a-half-minute solo ride before purchasing tickets.

What can I see from the top of Hokuseiyama?

From the summit, visitors enjoy panoramic views of the Tokachidake mountain range and the agricultural landscape of Furano Basin spreading below. The chair lift ride itself provides the sensation of floating above a colorful flower carpet. Besides lavender, the garden features four lavender varieties, sunflowers, salvia, and a rare white lavender variety near the summit.

Is parking available at the garden?

Yes, the site provides 50 parking spaces during summer season. Additional parking is available at the Flower Park located next to the Hokuseiyama area if the main lot is full. Parking is free of charge. For GPS navigation, enter the phone number 0167-44-3939 to reach the correct location.

2025年7月6日日曜日、初めて訪問。駐車場は空いており無料、リフトは往復700円で上の展望台に行って帰ってきました。展望台には、放牧用の草のロールがあり、上に乗って展望できます。かなり頑丈なんですね。ロールに乗ったのは初めての体験。かなりの絶景、ラベンダーは満開でとても気持ちが良かったです。近くの有料の施設もいいですが、ソフトクリーム売り場やレストランもあり、こちらの方でも十分楽しめます。展望台には、幸せの鐘があり、鳴らせます。何度も。

7月の富良野といえばラベンダー畑！はじめて訪れましたが、景色に感動しました。 1人乗りリフトに乗り頂上からみる景色はとても美しく、緑に囲まれた景色でした。蜂が沢山いるので、そこは気をつけてください！そして、1人乗りの為、お子様連れの方は階段で頂上にあがることになります！リフト乗り場付近にある、焼きとうもろこしがまたこれがとても絶品！是非頂上に行った後に食べていただきたいです！富良野を感じたい方におすすめスポット！

北海道空知郡中富良野にあるなかふらの北星山ラベンダー園ですね。山の斜面にラベンダーや色んな花が植えられており山の上からお花畑を見下ろすことが出来ます。大人往復700円のリフトに乗って山の上の方に行くことが出来ます。歩いて登っていくことも可能です。リフトは1人乗りで店員さんのサポートで素早く乗ります。乗っている時間は約7分くらいです。 7月末頃でしたがラベンダーが非常に綺麗でした。他の施設のラベンダーよりも色が落ちるのが遅いのかも。駐車場は無料で飲食店が少し有りますよ。

PayPay利用可能でした。リフト料金は少し高いですが景色を楽しみながらのんびり山頂まで行けます。晴れた日の眺めはとても良く写真撮影スポット等もたくさんあるので意外と飽きないですね。山頂にトイレ＆自販機等はありませんので下で済ませて持参してのんびり景色を眺めるのがオススメです。山頂の写真はあえて掲載しないのて気になる方は是非登ってみてください。

7月の連休に富良野を観光しました。ファーム富田に向かう途中、山腹に広がる紫の花々に目を奪われて、思わず立ち寄りました。ここは「中富良野町営ラベンダー園（北星山）」です。下の方のラベンダーは少しくすんだ青でしたが、山頂付近はまさに見頃。鮮やかなラベンダーブルーが広がっていて、「やったー！」と思わず声が出るほどの感動。リフト（往復700円・PayPay可）で一気に登れるのも便利です。頂上では、満開のラベンダーの中でたくさんの人が写真撮影。蝶々やミツバチも蜜を求めて飛び回っていて、自然との一体感がありました。そして何より印象的だったのが、ふわっと漂うラベンダーの香り。鼻から深呼吸するたびに、心がすっと落ち着くような感覚がありました。きっと鎮静効果もあったのでしょう。暑い日でしたが、不思議と心は穏やかで、幸せな気分で過ごせました。帰りはリフトを使わず、歩いてゆっくり下山。カメラを片手に、色とりどりのラベンダーを撮影しながらのんびり。ファーム富田に行く予定の方も、少し立ち寄るだけでラベンダーの違った魅力を体験できる、穴場的スポットです。 While on our way to the famous Farm Tomita, we were enchanted by the sight of lavender blooming along a hillside and decided to stop. This was Hokuseiyama Lavender Field, run by Nakafurano Town. The lavender near the base had a muted hue, but near the top, it was at its peak—brilliant lavender blue in full bloom! I couldn’t help but exclaim in delight. You can ride a lift to the summit (700 yen round-trip, PayPay accepted), making the ascent easy and enjoyable. At the top, visitors wandered among the lavender, happily taking photos. Butterflies and bees buzzed around, drawn to the fragrant blossoms. But what stood out most to me was the aroma—a gentle, soothing scent that seemed to ease the mind. Perhaps it was the calming effect of the lavender itself that made me feel so at peace, despite the heat. We chose to walk back down, taking our time to photograph the colorful slopes. If you’re visiting Farm Tomita, this is a hidden gem where you can enjoy a quieter, more immersive lavender experience—and breathe in its healing scent.
