Sorry for such a lack of posts lately everyone! I'm moving back home so my list of things to do is never ending. Anyway, back to today's post. It will the first of several parts from Farm Tomita because the flowers and scenery were gorgeous :)
To get to Farm Tomita, you can take the Kururu Bus (drops you right at the farm, but also goes to other attractions. About 1,200 yen for as many rides as you want for two days although there is no one day pass), the Norokko Train (if you buy the Furano Biei ticket like my friend and I did, you get unlimited rides on this one as well. It stops at the Lavender Station, about a five minute walk from the farm), or take a taxi (about 3,000 yen one way). It's also a 25 minute walk from Nakafurano Station.
The place is quite expansive and is known for its lavender despite opening another farm called Lavender East in 2008 down the road. The blooming season for the flowers vary, but many of them, including the lavender, peak during mid to late July. We arrived just before mid July so some of them weren't in full bloom, but the lavender seemed to be at their peak or nearing it. It was crowded (no surprise there), but we still spent the whole day there, wandering through the various flower fields.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful week! Keep cool and hydrated in this summer heat!
