I learned from the Hokkaido Tourism Association that Horomitoge Lavender Garden, a lavender attraction in Sapporo, does not need to wait until a self-driving trip to Furano to enjoy a sea of purple flowers. For your reference!
Brief Introduction of Horomitoge Lavender Garden
The Sapporo lavender flower farm "Horomitoge Lavender Garden" started planting in 1987. At the beginning, there were only 120 flower seedlings. After hard work, the scale has reached 8,000. It will be opened to tourists for free in July. If you come by car, you will only be charged for car parking.
▲ Can't help but keep picking up the camera to take pictures.
Paid to cut lavender to take home!
I saw that the Sapporo Hinogaoka Observatory offered tourists to pay for cutting lavender, but the event date was until 7/17, and the travel date passed by. When I didn’t hold out hope, I saw the same service at Horomitoge Lavender Garden, providing two Scissors, a paper bag, only 600 yen!
The aunt will first explain the pruning location and the amount of lavender that can be cut in a pot. It is suitable for preschool children to cooperate with each other. There is a flower field on site for tourists to use for pruning.
▲ Pick a lush flowerbed!
▲ Start pruning by hand.
▲ Wendy, Hamburg and his son worked together.
Horomitoge Lavender Garden Unboxing!
Carrying a paper bag of lavender, I walked up the pedestrian walkway slowly, and what I saw was a sea of thick purple flowers against the light blue sky. I shouted "It's so beautiful! I finally saw the lavender flower field".
Horomitoge Lavender Garden has a total of 7 flower fields, with different sizes and shapes. Compared with the perspective of Farm Tomita, there is more Sapporo cityscape as the background, and because there are not many people, you can find a place to sit down and enjoy the cool summer breeze of Sapporo.
▲ Feel free to take pictures.
▲ If it is also lit at night, it will be more beautiful if it echoes the cityscape.
Cherish the hard work of the farm
There is a billboard in the corner reminding you not to step into the flower garden. In fact, the tourists on site performed very well, because there are paths between the flower fields to shuttle through and take pictures. From a slight angle, it is as if you are in the sea of flowers. Basically, there is no need for staff to remind you. They all keep order, and they can also take super-beautiful punch-in photos. I admire the farmers who plan their photo needs first.
▲ Quite a lot of elderly Japanese tourists come here.
▲ There are many insects on site, and Little Hamburg loves and fears them.
Little episodes during the journey
Because he forgot to bring drinking water into the park, he sat down and was very thirsty after playing around. He asked Wendy to buy water from a small shop next to him. He said that there was only 2 liters of water at the scene.
When the little hamburgers were clamoring for water, my mother "take the lead" to try it first, smelling the smell of lavender, "Could it have a faint smell of lavender?", but it turned out not!My whole mouth is filled with the smell of lavender "essential oil". I hurriedly asked Wendy to ask where to sell water. I need water to get rid of the smell!
While waiting, I showed my family the appearance of the bottle, and learned that it turned out to be lavender flower water (a type of distilled water), which is suitable for fragrance machines, beauty treatments, etc. It’s no wonder that I almost vomited to death after taking a sip. Fortunately, Wendy found ice cream Water, try to pour down a bottle (as a gastric lavage or something) to relieve the discomfort at the moment.
Horomitoge Lavender Garden Traffic Information and Reminders
On the way out, you can take the subway to Maruyama Park Station and transfer to a taxi. The journey takes about 10 minutes. For the return journey, it is recommended not to delay too late. There will be some taxis waiting for guests to go down the mountain. However, we played until after 6 o’clock, and there were no taxis. We couldn’t even call an UBER. We had to walk down the mountain to the bus station and take the last bus back to Maruyama Park Station.
