Explore Hokkaido: Tomita Farm, Shikisai & Blue Pond Bus Tour

Embark on a picturesque journey through Hokkaido’s renowned sightseeing destinations with our multi-lingual voice guidance available in Chinese, Japanese, English, and Korean. Your adventure begins at the idyllic Campana Rokkatei, set amidst the sprawling hilly landscapes and the vineyards, where the Daisetsuzan mountain range frames the horizon. Here, you can relish tranquil shopping experiences as you soak in views of the majestic Mt. Tokachi from the glass-enclosed shop. Next, find yourself amidst the seasonal blooms and lavender fields of Farm Tomita, Japan’s oldest tourist lavender garden. Take your time to explore the array of original products and seasonal flowers available in the shop, each infused with the essence of the region.

As you move forward, the vibrant flower fields of Shikisai-no-Oka welcome you with a burst of colors, featuring 30 to 40 varieties of flowers that bloom profusely from May to late October. This patchwork of natural beauty reaches its peak from late July to late September, offering a breathtaking spectacle. Children and adults alike will be delighted to meet the friendly alpacas, the first to be raised in Hokkaido, serving as popular mascots for the region. Your journey continues to the enchanting Blue Pond, a recent highlight of the Biei area, known for its mysterious blue waters and the surreal backdrop of withered larch trees. Finally, relish a satisfying meal at the Furano Wine House, perched on a hill overlooking Furano’s lavender fields and the expansive countryside with the Tokachi mountain range in the distance. Here, you can indulge in Western cuisine and shop for local products, including the 100% natural Furano Grape Juice and unique lavender goods, ending your tour on a delightful note
