Flower Land Kamifurano

Flower Land Kamifurano is a 247-acre tourist farm situated in the Furano area of Hokkaido, offering spectacular panoramic views of the Tokachi mountain range. Lavender has been cultivated in Hokkaido since the 1940s, and the region transformed from agricultural production to a major tourist destination when imported lavender affected local demand in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, Flower Land stands as one of the largest flower fields in the Furano area, representing the region's deep agricultural heritage and cultural appreciation for seasonal natural beauty.

The farm showcases an ever-changing tapestry of seasonal blooms that attract nature enthusiasts and photographers throughout the warmer months. The floral display varies each month from June to September, featuring lupines, marigolds, zinnias, and bright red salvias. Lavender becomes the star attraction in mid-July, while lupines bloom in June and sunflowers open in August. The observation deck provides sweeping views across the Daisetsuzan mountain range, including Hokkaido's highest peak, Mount Asahi, and Mount Tokachi, all framed by vibrant flower fields below.

Visitors can explore the expansive grounds on foot along numerous walking paths or take a popular tractor bus tour through the fields. The tractor bus offers a leisurely 10-15 minute ride through the flower fields, with routes changing seasonally to showcase the best blooms. The farm provides hands-on experiences including lavender cutting, flower pressing, and creating lavender-scented sleep pillows from lavender potpourri. An on-site restaurant serves authentic Asahikawa ramen and local specialties, while the gift shop offers souvenirs, locally produced goods, and fresh seasonal produce including Furano melon, asparagus, corn, and potatoes.

Entry is free to the flower garden, though there is a small fee for the tractor bus tour. The farm is located 10 minutes by car from JR Kamifurano Station and approximately 90 minutes from Mikasa IC on the Hokkaido Expressway via Route 452. Visitors can reach the farm by taxi from Kamifurano Station (five-minute ride) or on foot (50-60 minute walk). 100 parking spaces are available free of charge. The farm accepts major credit cards including MasterCard and Visa. For the best viewing experience, plan visits between mid-June and early September when the flowers are in peak bloom.
