What other travelers are saying about Shikisai no Oka (Hill of Seasonal Colors)
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
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.
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.
Visited recently in summer and it was very hot and scotching. Recommend to put on sunblock and bring UV umbrella. Flowers were nice. Purchased tickets on the spot via the machines. I do not recommend to take the tram ride as it was only for 15 mins and the farm area is actually walkable. Tram goes one small round and stops for 3mins at a spot for photo taking, brings you back to the original stop and the ride ended.
Price: 500 yen to park, then 500 yen per adult to enter. This doesn’t include an additional 500 yen per adult to enter the alpaca farm inside (!).
Large fields of flowers, but little to zero angles for photos. Just walking under the sun between the flowers.
For macro photographers- a lot of bees and dragonfly on various background gradients. Beautiful.
The experience in farm Tomika, a 10 min ride, is a far better one (free entry, free parking, photos angle and balcony, lavender products and ice cream, trees, botanic garden..). For just seeing flowers - skip this one out.
