Let's Head to the Lavender Fields!

The lavender fields are located on a hill overlooking Sapporo City.

With rolling hills with up to 5,000 lavender flowers, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that these seasonal fields are a signature summer landscape in Hokkaido. The lavender in the foreground and the Sapporo cityscape in the backdrop are also why this view is one of a kind.
