What kind of season is Furano in June?

With summer just around the corner, June is the perfect time to visit Furano!
With little precipitation, the crisp air is perfect for enjoying activities.

It is also the perfect time to enjoy activities. In addition, in later June, lavender, a popular sightseeing flower in Furano, comes into bloom.
Let’s learn about the characteristics of this time of year and have a fun trip!

Weather in Furano in June

In Furano, the days are very dry and comfortable with little precipitation during the rainy season in June, which is the rainy season in Honshu.

As you all know, Hokkaido is famous for not having a rainy season, and many tourists come north to visit during this time.
According to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency in 2018, the average maximum temperature was about 22 degrees Celsius and the average minimum temperature was about 13 degrees Celsius.

In June, the maximum temperature often exceeds 25 degrees Celsius on summer days, and some days can reach 30 degrees Celsius or more.

With little rainfall and long hours of sunshine, tourists are welcomed by a pleasant climate.
It is a great season to feel the beginning of summer in Furano.

What to wear and bring in Furano in June

One of the key words for spending June in Furano is how to deal with the temperature difference between day and night.
Furano has an inland climate, which is characterized by a large difference in temperature between day and night.

It is common for the temperature to rise above 25°C during the day and then fall below 15°C at night, making it very cold.
Therefore, although there are days when you can wear only a T-shirt during the day, it is recommended that you bring a parka or something easy to put on and take off for sightseeing.

If you are concerned, it is a good idea to bring a spring coat.

Even if it is possible to move around in short pants during the day, it will become chilly at night, so it is best to wear long pants with good ventilation.

Especially when you visit the mountains for activities, the temperature difference will be more extreme, so be sure to take warm clothing so you don’t end up swooning from the heat instead of enjoying your Furano trip!

Major Events in Furano in June

Lavender is the one thing you can’t miss in Furano in June!

The biggest event in Furano in June is the blooming of lavender.
Although lavender has a strong image of summer, it is at its best from late June.

“Farm Tomita” is a popular place to view lavender fields.
It is known as one of the largest lavender fields in Japan, attracting as many as 1 million tourists every year.

The best place to visit is the Traditional Lavender Field.
It is also the starting point of Farm Tomita, and Furano’s lavender became known throughout Japan when it was introduced in the calendar of the Japanese National Railways.

Of course, you can enjoy not only the lavender, but the seasonal flowers as well!
　
The “Field of Colors,” where a beautiful rainbow of seven-colored flowers such as chrysanthemums, poppies, and komachi grass float on the gentle slopes, also attracts visitors.

The purple carpet that spreads across the slopes, with a view of the countryside of Hokkaido in the distance, allows you to enjoy 100% Furano-like scenery!

Furano in June, when the weather is stable, is the perfect time to visit “Blue Pond”!

 

Because the weather is stable in Furano in June, one spot that should not be missed is the “Blue Pond,” which has become a very popular tourist spot attracting tourists from all over the world since it was adopted as the wallpaper for the Mac computers sold by Apple.

As the name suggests, the blue water of the pond is beautiful, and many people visit to take pictures.

The Blue Pond is located in Biei, a short distance from Furano, and the conditions for the pond to turn blue are “no wind, no rain, and sunny days.

This is exactly the time to visit in June.

The best time to visit is early in the morning.
The weather is still calm and there are not many people around, so I recommend taking as many pictures as you want!
