When mid-July to late July midsummer arrives in Hokkaido, Furano and Biei showcase Japan’s most breathtaking purple lavender blooms and patchwork flower fields. This 10-hour golden summer private charter route starting from Sapporo carefully selects four iconic natural landforms across central Hokkaido:

First, visit the world-renowned lavender sanctuary Farm Tomita, where you can savor signature lavender soft-serve ice cream while strolling along rainbow flower fields. Next, head to Hinode Park to gaze upon Japan’s historic purple lavender hills from the hilltop observatory. In the afternoon, venture into Biei to explore the vast, carpet-like patchwork flower fields at Shikisai-no-Oka. Finally, stand beside the ethereal Shirogane Blue Pond, admiring its unique cobalt-blue waters paired with standing dead larch trees.

During summer, Furano and Biei attract crowds of global travelers. Public transit connections between attractions can be sparse, and waiting for buses under the hot summer sun quickly drains your energy. Choosing a Hokkaido private car charter driven by an experienced professional with a Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) certified green-plate vehicle ensures ultimate comfort. We provide courteous Cantonese, Chinese, and English-speaking drivers, allowing you to relax in a cool, air-conditioned car throughout this dreamlike summer flower journey.

Farm Tomita — Blooming Around Mid-July: Japan’s Ultimate Lavender Sanctuary

The first stop of the journey brings you to the classic symbol of Hokkaido flower fields: Farm Tomita. During peak bloom in mid-to-late July, the “Traditional Lavender Field” is covered in a deep purple blanket, while the “Irodori Field” (Rainbow Field)—woven with purple lavender, white baby’s breath, and red poppies—covers the hillside like a vibrant rainbow. Inside the park, you will also find essential oil distillation workshops and specialty shops; don’t forget to sample the immensely popular freshly made lavender soft-serve ice cream.

Hinode Park — Purple Hilltop Observatory and the Bell of Love Landmark

Your private vehicle then travels to Hinode Park in Kamifurano. Recognized as one of the birthplaces of lavender cultivation in Japan, the entire hill is covered in dense lavender fields during midsummer. A white observation tower and the “Bell of Love” landmark sit atop the hill, offering sweeping views of purple flower waves and the distant Tokachi mountain range—making it a visually dramatic photo spot.

Shikisai-no-Oka — 3D Rainbow Patchwork Fields on Biei’s Rolling Hills

In the afternoon, head to Biei’s iconic Shikisai-no-Oka. Across 15 hectares of rolling hills, dozens of flower varieties—such as snapdragons, petunias, and marigolds—are planted along the slopes, weaving a vivid patchwork carpet rich in contrast and depth. Guests can take a casual stroll along flower trails or ride the farm’s unique tractor bus (Norokko-go) to effortlessly travel through panoramic flower fields.

Shirogane Blue Pond — Ethereal Tiffany Blue Waters & Larch Tree Reflections

The final destination is Biei’s famous Shirogane Blue Pond. Formed where aluminum-rich spring water meets the Biei River, the water reflects sunlight to produce a mesmerizing Tiffany-blue hue. Dead larch trees standing inside the water and surrounding green foliage cast quiet reflections upon the clear surface, creating a peaceful, fairytale-like scenery that shifts with light and wind.
