Sapporo to lavender fields: Private day trip

Visit the most famous lavender fields in Japan, celebrated for their incredibly vibrant hues and luscious scent. Take a guided tour of the iconic Farm Tomita fields to feel immersed in a sea of pale purple, and visit the striped Irodori Field, created with a rainbow of flowers such as poppies. Be sure to stop by some of the smaller gardens on display, and consider a tour of the houses dedicated to flower drying or displaying a gallery of photos of the fields throughout all four seasons. The best time to visit is early to mid July, when Lavender blooms peak. Verify opening hours (which vary seasonally) and purchase tours online through the farm’s official website: https://www.farm-tomita.co.jp/en/

The village of Biei is known for its unique, colorful “patchwork hills”, thanks to its abundance of flower farmers. Photographers flock to this vivid landscape every year, especially in July when the lavender fields reach their peak. Travelers can visit the tiny village to enjoy seasonal exhibits about the surrounding fields or to enjoy unique views across the sea of colors. However, the best way to experience these sights is to rent a bicycle in or around Biei and travel along the “Patchwork Road,” taking in the scenic beauty of the hills’ mosaic fields.
