Japan Trip 2008 - Farm Tomita Chitose 02Aug08

Had to catch the early train to Farm Tomita, got our soba from the kiosk outside the train. breakfast on the go!

I think im asleep as usual, so she's bored...

Furano station where we need to catch the local train that goes to the special Lavender station which only opens when the blooms are in season.

But because we were busy taking pics, we missed it! once again, this japanese guy went all out, suggesting that we take the local bus which by the way is leaving in 5mins. and so he ran all the way with us to the bus,

on the bus journey, we came across this grape juice maker



The weather forecast suggested that it would rain the whole day. We were fortunate it wasn't... good fortune i guess

There were a couple of lavender fields in the farm.

let the pictures reveal the beauty of the place...

Feeling very relaxed in the beauty, the cool weather and the scent.

enjoying the scenery on the train.

and shopping lined up for the evening at RERA outlet at Chitose. more variety and nicer designs than nyc, but not as cheap.

on the way back to Sun route hotel in Sapporo, I transformed into pretty jap school girl!
