The Hokkaido self-drive experience 2 北海道自驾体验

2. Furano & Biei ( with video)

Hokkaido. July. Lavender ... a romantic holiday!

Chan Siew Fong (Mrs. Lee), Tan Le Le, Mr. & Mrs Pun were planing to visit Hokkaido during summer to see the beautiful Lavender fields ... if fact they have already booked their flights and charting a free and easy holiday in Hokkaido by train (Japan Railway).

By accident, I "discovered" their plan and invited to join them.

With six persons, holiday by train has been changed to self-drive on road holiday.

The second destination is Furano and Biei, the highlights of the tour because of the legendary lavender fields and beautiful flowers.

We visited many fields and farms, planted with lavender and other flowers in different design and pattern. It was all free of charge, and parking included!

It was a day of flowers, flowers and flowers !

We saw couple from Hong Kong came here to take their bridal photograph!

Biei is a small town voted as the most beautiful village in Japan. (I think the definition of village is different from ours).

2. 富良野及美瑛 (备用录影


北海道。夏天。薰衣草。。。一个浪漫的假期。

陈少放(李太),陈莉莉,潘延瑞夫妇(无亲戚关系)想要的就是这样的一个假期。其实他们在五月时,已经订好了飞机票,且正在安排一个乘搭火车的自由行假期。

我是在不经意中,“发现”了他们的计划,而被邀请加入。

火车自由行,因为人数增加到六人,所以就改成自驾自由行了。

行程的第二天,就是到富良野及美瑛,这是此行的最高点,因为那著名的薰衣草及其他吸引人的花园。

我们参观了好多个花园,种满了薰衣草和许多其他的花朵,如菊花,向日葵,兰花等,各有各的设计和花样。参观花园及停泊车辆都是免费的!

这是看花最多的一天。。。花,花,花。

我们还见到来自香港的情侣,到此来拍他们的婚纱照片。

美瑛是个小镇,被选为日本最美丽的村落。(这里村落的定义,和我们国家应该是有别)。
