Nakafurano
Nakafurano combines the precision of cultivated flower fields with the wooded contours of central Hokkaido in a way that reflects its position in the Furano Basin. The town is closely associated with Farm Tomita, a long-established grower whose lavender and seasonal flower plantings helped make the Furano area synonymous with flower tourism. Neat bands of planting sit below low, forested hills, while the Tokachi Mountains form part of the wider highland setting east of the basin. Agriculture remains central to local identity, alongside a visitor culture built around farm produce, gardens and field crops. Farm Tomita began cultivating lavender in 1958, a milestone in the region’s modern floral identity.

Set in the Furano Basin beneath the Tokachi Mountains, it belongs to an inland farming district where wide fields change with the seasons. Summer lavender is closely associated with the town, especially at Farm Tomita, a working farm founded in 1903 that helped establish the area’s lavender-growing reputation. Nakafurano is also known for melons and other Hokkaido produce, while the wider Furano area draws winter visitors to its ski slopes.
