Drive time to Shikisai-no-Oka in Biei was 4 hours loooooong, but you know what . . . it was totally worth it. The rolling hills of flowers was one of the things that drew us to this tour, and it did not disappoint.

Beautiful. I'll need to add this to my bucket list. I went to see the tulips in Skaggit (north of Seattle) and they were beautiful. Gotta see flowers in person. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Susan, don't know how they water. I wonder if they have a sprinkling system.
V, I don't think they sell the flowers, but not sure.
Chet, I think Cleta and I skipped lunch on this day and just had a snack at the next stop.
Izsmom, even though the bus will make rest stops, I totally have a phobia about having to go shi shi on long bus rides so I limit my liquids in the morning.
N, I know what you mean . . . walking far is not as easy as it used to be.

De
love hokkaido, so beautiful!
So beautiful! Did they say how they water all those flowers? The one pic looked like the dirt was dry.
what do they do with the flowers? just plant them for everyone to enjoy or do they cut them and sell them?
So pretty and impressive!
v
Beautiful colors, amazing. I bet after the 4 hours drive, must have work up a appettite for lunch,huh?
Wow! Pretty! But, as I get older, cannot handle loooong drives. Thanks for sharing your trip!

wow! what an awesome place to take landscape pics!!! The contrast of the colors is beautiful!!
Les, what was really cool was that the ground on some of the fields was actually at chest level, so it was easy to take "low" shots.
