14 Nov - Today is a day trip out to the Furano area. At current time of the year, it is already the off peak season and flowers are past their blooming time, we are expecting much lesser crowd. However, the sky seems to have its own idea and started snowing the moment we entered the mountains. The weather really caught us off guard this year as we are not expecting Japan to have a very short autumn.
At the very least, we experienced our first ever snowfall overseas! And it is a heavy one.

We are expecting to see an azure pond, but......
the snow has covered the Biei Pond.

Farm Tomita is also the same situation. All the fields are emptied of flowers during this off season, with the exception of its green house, where you can still catch some lavender in bloom. Its cafe is still open and they serve really good Hokkaido Danshaku Potato Croquette.
