Horomitoge Lavender Garden

Horomitoge Lavender Garden offers a tranquil escape into colour and fragrance on the outskirts of Sapporo. Tucked into the rolling hills of Hokkaido, the garden embodies the unhurried, contemplative mood that makes this island's countryside so distinctive. Whether you come for a leisurely stroll or simply to breathe in the cool northern air, it rewards those who seek a gentler pace.

When to go

The garden is open 9 to 5. Lavender in Hokkaido typically peaks in midsummer, making July the most rewarding month to visit. Arriving early in the morning lets you enjoy the blooms and the surrounding hillside views before the day warms up, and the soft light of a Hokkaido morning suits the muted purples particularly well.
