Today we went to Furano. We, however, started our day at Mister Donut for breakfast before we boarded the "slow train" to Furano. It is probably 1 hour to 1.5 hours to get to Furano on the train we took. It is slow so that passengers can enjoy the view. Hokkaido is very mountainous and this gave us a great view as well a chance to see some lavender fields from afar.
When we arrived at the train station in Furano, we took a bus up into the mountains a bit. Furano is known for its lavender fields so after lunch we walked around to look at some lavender fields and visit some crafty shops.
We met back up and took the bus back down to the train station. Some of us explored the town and others enjoyed the air conditioning in the ice cream shop. Let me just say that it was a really hot day! Around 4:30pm we took the train back to Asahikawa.
