Flora Furano

Furano in Hokkaido is well known for its lavender blooms, and as part of my summer Japan trip, I made my way to Nakafurano (one of the municipalities of Furano) in the hope of catching this purple phenomena.


However, while the blooms are still visible in late July, it was past its peak; thankfully, the fields of Furano are still a burst of colour. And accompaning these flowers, the butterflies are happily fluttering, so it was macro photography galore! Furano is a popular Hokkaido (and not just in summer; it's famous for winter skiing as well) attraction, so there're plenty of information available. So here's just sharing a mini gallery of Flora Furano!
