Lavender blooming season
Blooming season for lavender depends on the variety of lavender. The early blooms usually begin in late June. In Furano, peak season is mid-July, and late blooming lavender can be enjoyed until early August. Once August arrives, some fields begin to cut back the lavender to preserve the roots. Please check for updates on blooming conditions on the Furano Tourism Association website.
You can also go to Biei and Furano via Asahikawa when the Furano Lavender Express is not operated.
