Blue Pond: Due to natural minerals in the water and light refraction, the lake presents a dreamy, layered blue color that changes with the weather and light. It is one of Biei's most iconic photo spots. We recommend trying the Blue Pond-exclusive blue soft-serve ice cream (at your own expense) while enjoying the lake view—a photo and tasting experience many travelers cannot miss.
Midsummer Exclusive | Hokkaido Melon: Hokkaido melon is famous for its high sugar content and delicate flesh. The temperature difference between day and night creates a rich aroma and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it the most representative fruit of summer. On this tour, you can choose to enjoy half a melon at HERB GARDEN Furano (optional package) and taste the natural sweetness exclusive to midsummer. This is not just a dessert, but a seasonal experience.
Shikisai-no-oka: Vast hills spread out like a colorful flower carpet, with layers of vibrant blooms outlining the most iconic summer scenery of Furano. You can see cute alpacas in the park or choose to ride the tractor bus to easily travel through the flower fields, adding a touch of leisure and childlike fun to the magnificent view.
Farm Tomita: During the lavender blooming season, the air is filled with a faint floral scent. You can enjoy the popular lavender soft-serve ice cream (at your own expense) in the park, turning summer in Furano into a refreshing memory.
Ningle Terrace: A cluster of wooden cottages hidden in the forest, combining handicrafts with natural scenery. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing, perfect for a slow stroll and photos to bring a gentle end to your journey.
