Tomita Flower Farm, Hokkaido

The Tomita Flower Farm is so huge that you can spend the entire day walking there and yet not see everything there is. Among the most noteworthy are the shops for dried flowers and plants, all aesthetically and tastefully arranged and exhibited on the walls and in shelves so that you can have an idea how each arrangement would look in your house. All I can say is that the cashiers were doing a roaring business, collecting money almost non-stop, even though the items were not cheap!

There were also products that were spin-offs from the flowers and leaves, such as lavender-scented pillows, lavender-scented soap, lavender-flavoured water, exquisite bookmarks made from dried leaves and flowers, etc. There is a whole shop of such products and looking at the crowds, these were very well-received too.
