Horomitoge Lavender Garden is located in an area called Horomitoge in Sapporo City. This may be a place most people have never heard of before. The closest station in Horomitoge is Maruyama Koen Station, a 15-minute train ride from Sapporo Station. Take the subway to Odori Station from Sapporo Station, switch to the Tozai Subway Line, and get off at the third station.

There are no direct routes to the Horomitoge Lavender Garden. Upon arriving at Maruyama Koen Station, it is recommended to take a taxi to the lavender fields. The one-way trip takes about ten to 15 minutes and costs about 1,500 yen. Our writer paid 1,550 yen for a one-way taxi ride.

Those heading by rental car should input the address for "Yume Kobou Sato" in your GPS. The Yume Kobou Sato group manages Horomitoge Lavender Garden.

For those who love hiking and are confident in their abilities, you can also walk along a mountain road from Maruyama Koen Station. Additionally, there is a bus from the station. Take the Bankei Bus from the Maruyama Koen Bus Terminal and get off at the Horomitoge Iriguchi bus stop. In front, you will see the ridge entrance. Walk for about 30 minutes to find the Horomitoge Lavender Garden signboard. There are a limited number of buses heading in this direction, so please check the bus schedule online (Japanese) before heading out.

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.
