Episode 16 - Flower Farm at Furano
















Flower farm at Furano
Sea of Flowers (II)

This photo was taken at a flower farm at Furano, Hokkaido, Japan.

The flowers as seen in the photo were for sale purpose but tourists could freely visit the farm.

There are a number of these flower farms at Furano and Biei. Apart from selling flowers, some of them sell by-products of flowers, such as dry flowers, perfume and soaps. Local guide books have detailed addresses of these farms.

It is not convenient to visit these farms by public transport.

To best enjoy the journey, it's better to visit these farms and other points of interest in Hokkaido by private car. I rented a car for my journey. It was equipped with a satillite route finder.

If you do not drive, travelling by bicycle is a good alternative.
