#flowerblossom #100waysoftravel Hokkaido’s flower blossoms are a stunning spectacle, particularly in Furano and Biei.

Enjoy the Vibrant Ponds and Flowers on a Hokkaido Drive!!

I went to Furano during summer vacation!! Compared to Tokyo, it is much more comfortable. Although the lavender season had ended, there were still many flowers and delicious food to enjoy. ○ Blue Pond (Approx. 30 minutes) We arrived around 10 AM, so the parking lot wasn't too crowded. The pond's water was even bluer than in the photos!! It was breathtakingly beautiful. Since we went in the morning, there were fewer tour groups, making it a stress-free visit. ○ Shiraito Falls (Approx. 5 minutes) Located about 5 minutes by car from the Blue Pond. This waterfall also has a unique blue color that is worth seeing!! ○ Shikisai no Oka (Approx. 1 hour or more) A vast area covered with flowers. I've visited many flower fields before, but this one was overwhelming in scale! It looked like a carpet of flowers. It's less than 2 hours by car from Asahikawa Airport and 1.5 hours from Sapporo! It's a highly recommended spot when visiting Hokkaido.

August Flower blossom in Hokkiado

August in Hokkaido brings a spectacular display of late summer blooms, with vibrant fields of sunflowers taking center stage. The vast sunflower fields, especially in Hokuryu Town, create a golden sea of blossoms under the bright summer sky. Sunflowers are not the only stars of August, as lilies, dahlias, and cosmos also bloom across the island, adding pops of color to the landscape. Lavender fields, though past their peak, still offer a lingering purple hue, especially in higher altitudes, while the summer’s end brings an array of wildflowers carpeting Hokkaido’s parks and countryside. Gardens like the Shikisai-no-Oka in Biei remain a vivid tapestry of colors, with zinnias, marigolds, and salvia blooming in full glory. August's blossoms are a striking contrast to the earlier summer months, providing a more diverse range of flowers and signaling the transition from summer to early autumn in Hokkaido. #flowerblossom

We visited Shikisai no Oka upon recommendation by the Biei Tourism Office. It was the prettiest out of the flower fields we visited including Tomita & Zerubu. We took the tram ride (¥500 per pax) and the views were magnificent. It was extremely crowded though and yes, a lot of tourists. They have a gift shop and some food stalls. Entrance is free. I don't mind paying for the rides as the workers there really worked hard to plant those beautiful flowers. Definitely recommended if you're deciding which flower farm to head to. #givethanks #givethanks

Autumn Hokkaido Furano flower field (with self-driving Raiders) The fourth trip to Hokkaido, choose in the autumn, this National Day holiday, we decided to travel to Hokkaido. Oh, Hokkaido in October, I can already feel the coolness of the bursts, especially the heavy rain in the middle of the day, regret not taking down jackets, and finally ruthlessly caught cold... Due to the recent soaring yen exchange rate, The cost performance of JRpass in Hokkaido is getting lower and lower. My husband decided to try the car, but it was the first time to drive in Japan. Tips: If you dont have an international drivers license, dont decide to go to Japan by yourself. The Chinese drivers license or the small white book you own (known as the international drivers license) cannot be driven by car in Japan. Careful check of your driver's license and the entry and exit records for international driver's licenses are indispensable. The driver's seat in Japan is on the right. The old drivers need to adapt to get used to it, so be sure to pay attention to safety. The speed of Japan is 50 yards. It is immediately reflected that the speeding is detected, and it will be distressed. How to apply for an international driving license? Search on the T home, I will not say more. The autumn of Furano is less purple lavender, but there are other flower fields, the sunflowers are very beautiful, and you can take pictures of screensavers. After enjoying the beautiful flower fields, remember to go to the ranch to feed the alpacas. The cute alpaca has no smell. It is disinfected at the door and brought with the leaves to feed the alpaca. They are very clever and can't let them see the blue seeds in your hand, or they will swarm up and tear them into small pieces. Hey, don't try to tease yourself, be careful to spit at you. Free entry to visit Ranch Tickets: Adults 500, primary and secondary school students 300 Time: 9
