What To Expect
Farm Tomita
When you visit Furano, this is one place you must visit! This is where lavender has been produced since 1958. It is currently a traditional lavender field. This is a place that came to be known through the JR yearly calendar when JR still went by a different name. It is especially beautiful because of the 7 colors of flower that are produced together creating a rainbow. These are the purple lavender, the white baby’s breath, the orange California poppies and others. This is the view that will come to one the most when they remember Furano. 4km away from this farm you will find “Lavender East” where you will find fields of just lavender and it is absolutely beautiful. This only happens in July so be sure to be here at the right time of year. Be sure to stop by the gift shop for lavender to take home with you! We can recommend first thing in the morning to view the flowers in relative peace.

This is the first class flower gardens of Furano. We can especially recommend June to September as the best time to visit.

Shirahige Falls
The name comes from the fact that it looks like a white beard. The waterfall has a drop of approximately 30 m and is one of the tourist attractions in the 'Biei Shirogane Onsen Town', where you can get a close-up look at the underground water seeping out from between the natural rocks and flowing down into the mountain stream with great force, causing the cobalt blue sparkling Biei River to splash. This waterfall is classified as a 'submerged flow explosion', which is rare in Japan. The view from the bridge commonly known as the 'Blue River' is also recommended. In winter, the contrast between the waterfall's streaks, the white of the snow and the rock surface becomes more pronounced, and the spray and steam rising from the waterfall creates fog and ice on the trees, making the scenery even more fantastic.
