Furano, Hokkaido
Furano and Biei are two towns in central Hokkaido that is known for its picturesque rural landscape. In fact, it looks like some european country especially during June and April when the lilacs bloom. You get a sea of purple and pastel colors across vast fields - it’s breathtakingly beautiful. It reminds me of the time when my family and I took a took down the South Island of New Zealand during early summer. We passed by a river and across the river was a splash of purple …upon closer inspection, it was actually lilacs…seas and seas of them blooming on the side of the river banks. I will remember that scene till this day and I am sure if you ever visit Furano and Biei during that period, you would have that picturesque moment stuck in your head for the rest of your life. Never have you seen anything quite like it…it’s almost too dreamlike to be true :)
Besides watching flowers, you can also savor their wine, grape juice and cheeses as well as they have factories there that manufacture these things. What did I say abou this place about being almost european?
