Insta-worthy places in Hokkaido
14:30
Everyone is always talking about the beautiful places in Hokkaido. Hence, I would like to share with you my guide to these instagrammable places that I visited. Keep on reading for more!
Farm Tomita
First up, is Farm Tomita. I am sure you have seen this a lot on your Instagram feed etc. Farm Tomita is a Flower Farm featuring lavender fields and other flowers. As I went during autumn, the lavender fields weren’t blooming :( If you wish to see the full bloom of the lavender fields, I suggest you visit this place from early to mid-July. Although not all flowers were blooming in autumn, it was still beautiful and worth a visit.
Address: Japan, 〒071-0704 Hokkaido, Sorachi District, Nakafurano, 基線北１５号
Opening hours: 08:30 – 18:00

Shirogane Blue Pond
The Shirogane Blue Pond is famous for its mysterious blue shimmers along with a stunning scenery of the silver birch trees. It was pretty in so many aspects! (A hot spot for photo taking.)
For those who are driving by car, there is a carpark space for you to park but you must walk quite a distance to see the magnificent Shirogane Blue Pond. Wear comfortable shoes!
Address: Shirogane, 美瑛町 Kamikawa District, Hokkaido 071-0235, Japan

Furano Shrine
Furano Shrine is a small historical shrine, that also appears time to time in dramas. There are not many tourists there, so you can drop by and take a photo or two at the shrine.

Jigokudani (Hell Valley)
Hell valley presents sulfurous streams and hot steam vents that can be seen if you follow the walking trails through the hills of Noboribetsu. If I am not wrong, you can enjoy a natural foot bath when you walk further in. Sadly, we did not manage to try it :(
