A lavender field that turns into a ski slope
As the symbol of Nakafurano Town, this hillside park blooms with colorful flowers in summer and becomes a playground for skiers and snowboarders in winter. In summertime, you can take the 7 minute single-chair lift ride to the top of Hokuseiyama. From the chair lift you feel as though you are floating above a flower carpet. From the top, you can marvel at the sight of the Tokachidake mountain range and the beautiful agricultural landscape of Furano Basin.
This hillside is also the venue of the Nakafurano Lavender Festival, the town’s biggest event in mid July. In winter, this hill becomes a course that welcomes and challenges skiers and snowboarders. One third of the slope is left unoppressed snow and suited for medium skill level players. The Winter Festival is held here in early February. Note: Please prepare your winter outfit and ski/snowboard equipment accordingly as we don’t offer any item for rent).
