| Lavenders in Hokkaido |
 |
 In the summer, lavender viewing is one of the top
attractions in Hokkaido. Lavender is from a group
of herbs that are native to the Mediterranean
littoral. It is difficult to grow in areas of high
temperature and high humidity, and the climate of
Furano allows a number of lavender fields to
spread in the area, making it the symbol of
Furano. Both public and private lavender fields
extend along the Furano City, and the whole
hillside turns into a mass of violet in the high
season.
Lavender has been cultivated in Hokkaido for more
than half a century. When the arrival of lower
priced, imported lavender led to a decrease in
demand for Hokkaido's lavender in the 1960s and
70s, the local lavender's main function shifted
from agricultural product to tourist attraction.
Nowadays, Furano's lavender fields attract large
numbers of visitors to the region every summer,
when the plants are in full bloom. The majority of
lavender usually starts blooming in late June and
reaches its peak from around mid July to early
August. Less numerous, later flowering varieties
of lavender remain in bloom into mid August.
