Farm Tomita is Japan’s most iconic and celebrated lavender estate, nestled beautifully against the Tokachi mountain range in Nakafurano, Hokkaido. Dating back over a century to 1903, this legendary farm rescued Hokkaido’s lavender industry by shifting from commercial farming to a premier botanical haven for international flower travelers. Today, the pristine fields serve as a rolling canvas of vibrant colors, famous for their sweeping slopes of fragrant purple blooms, multi-colored floral ribbons, and dedicated on-site essential oil distilleries.
