Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! When to see Lavender? 2009/6/28 Furano Anyone knows if I can see full bloom of lavender around 11 July? Any other things I should not miss on my trip to Farm Tomita? by Cuckoo (guest)   ... 2009/6/28 You will be able to see the lavender in bloom. The fields are already becoming bluish these days: http://www.furano.ne.jp/nakafurano/kaika/ Any other things I should not miss on my trip to Farm Tomita? The farm has lots of lavender related goods on sale. And other flowers. There are good pamphlets and signs which ensure that you will not miss anything important. by Uji rate this post as useful Lavender East 2009/6/29 While visiting Farm Tomita, don't miss out their Lavender East which was newly added last year. http://www.farm-tomita.co.jp/jp/lavender_east/index.htm... http://www.farm-tomita.co.jp/jp/lavender_east/map.html by William5 rate this post as useful William5 2009/6/29 Just saw your above post re Lavender East (in Japanese only) and would like to know if they have the same site-seeing tractor at the main Tomita farm, if so how much + routing etc ? Thanks by mcl (guest) rate this post as useful Farm Tomita 2009/6/29 Farm Tomita has its own separate tractor pull cart. The one in Lavender East costs 500 yen for adult, 250 yen for students above the age of 4, free of charge for chldren under 3. You can see its purple rectagular route on the attached map with the purple dot indicating get on/off spot: http://www.farm-tomita.co.jp/jp/lavender_east/index.htm... by William5 rate this post as useful William5 2009/6/29 Thank you. You have been most helpful to non-Japanese speakers. I'am more interested in visiting the original farm Tomita but could not see any tractor-pull route map in their English site, so could you show me a similar route map with the on/off stops at the original farm Tomita ? by mcl (guest) rate this post as useful Farm Tomita 2009/6/29 Farm Tomita doesn't seem to have a route map for its tractor pull cart. All it says is that it's the same type as the lavender bus in Lavender East. Cost is the same and the ride is about 15-20 min. by William5 rate this post as useful Thanks William5 2009/6/30 I am clear now. by mcl (guest) rate this post as useful
