Hokkaido in Novice Village: Understand the location of the city
The area of Hokkaido is twice that of Taiwan. Direct flights between each other are mainly from Sapporo New Chitose Airport and Hakodate Airport. Novice Village prepares for a free trip to Hokkaido. From our experience, we first visit Sapporo for three days, and then take the bus to Asahikawa. Stay for a week and rent a car in Asahikawa to travel between Biei and Furano. After completing the flower field exploration trip, return to Sapporo, and then go to Otaru from Sapporo for four days.
Due to the need for round-trip driving, the recommended number of travel days is one week. It is quite compact to visit four cities at once. It is recommended that you plan a flexible allocation, for example, spend one day each in Sapporo, and arrange the remaining days in Otaru, Asahikawa, Biei and Furano , allowing children to experience the natural scenery of Hokkaido, which is different from the daily urban pace, and the weather is cool and pleasant, which is great!

It was not until the 20th century that Tomita Tokuma and Soda politically invested in planting lavender to produce essential oils and spices. , according to the information found, there were 250 households in its heyday. However, during the free trade, low-priced spices rushed to the market. The place declined for a time and only Tomita Farm continued to work hard.
Unexpectedly, a Japan Railway calendar put Furano on the tourist wave again (▶ Click me to see photos), attracted tourists from all over Japan, and gradually evolved into its current appearance.
