Is Farm Tomita worth visiting in winter? 2010/8/12 13:19
We'll be in Furano around Dec 20. It appears Farm Tomita is famous for lavender fields so am wondering if there's anything to see in winter. Will there be a winter village "kan kan mura"this year? We are planning to visit the Cheese Factory, Wine Factory, Ningle Terrace & hot air ballooning while spending 1D1N there on route from Asahikawa towards Noboribetsu. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

I went there in winter when there was no special event going on. It was all snow covered and there was not much to see. One of the shops was open, though.

If you have a car and pass there anyway (for example on you way from Furano to Biei), I would consider stopping by, but I don't think it is worth a trip on its own. That is unless there is some special event you would like to see or you really want to purchase some of the farm's lavender products. But I am not familiar with events held there in winter.

Thanks Uji. We'll spend a more relxed day in Furano then but I think we will probably pass by when we drive towards Noboribetsu so may stop by farm to buy lavender products as you suggested.

The farm is not along the way between Furano and Noboribetsu.

The outdoor lavender will be long gone. But inside the small greenhouse there might be some blooming lavender. Or not.

and what is the recommended train to take to Furano.

It is explained here:

Yes. You could stay at a pension, which can be very nice:
