Lavender Trip in Hokkaido。o(^-^)o。

I went to Hokkaido with my friend over the 3 day weekend.
The main purpose of our visit is "Lavender"!!
Though it made a short stay,
we enjoyed our trip to the full★(*^▽゚)


The beautiful flowers,clear air and
a broad stretch of land healed
my body&soul☆゚・*:.。.☆゚・*:.。.☆,

and the delicious foods satisfied my body&mind(≧▽≦)!!



During our stay in Sapporo,
we could meet my friend in Sapporo.
The time we spent with her&her family
also flavored our trip♪


We visited Biei and Furano in Hokkaido.
Furano is famous for many kinds of flower gardens,
especially lavender gardens.
In season,the lavender gardens look like
purple carpets spread all over.


We walked around and look at some lavender gardens in Furano.
It was more beautiful than I would expect!!
Tthese flowers smell wonderfully sweet~~(*゚▽゚)ノ




The wide expanse of flowers
as white as snow is a potato patch.
The hills in Biei have some mixed
patches of potato,wheat,beans,and so on,
so the hill in Biei is often called "Patchwork's Hill."
I heard many farmers never plant fields with the same crop
over and over to protect them from getting farmed out.

Anyway, the view was magnificent!!
We certainly enjoyed a lot of nature.
I really could spend some quality time♪♪

Pudding,Soft-cream,Corn and Sapporo beer~~
They was all very good(;∇;)!!
