Farm Tomita is an impressive outdoor experience in Nakafurano, Hokkaido. The farm’s reputation leads many people to visit it annually and it’s a great place to take photographs of flowers and natural scenery. With fields of lavender and tulips, the colorful world created by the farm is exciting to look at; not to mention, the many products that the farm creates, such as lavender ice cream, scented candles, naturally-scented soaps, and more.
Flowers aren’t all that Farm Tomita has to offer.
