#December Travel Support Event **Palm Tomita Tour Review** Palm Tomita had a really beautiful lavender field. The fragrant lavender and colorful flower fields were the perfect place to take pictures. The trails were well-maintained, so I was able to take a leisurely walk and enjoy nature, and the souvenir shop where I could buy lavender-related products was also interesting. **Melon Review** The melon I tasted at Farm Tomita was sweet and juicy, so I couldn't help but be amazed. I could really enjoy the fresh fruit flavor, and it was perfect as a dessert after a meal. **Lavender Ice Cream Review** The lavender ice cream was characterized by its subtle lavender scent and soft texture. The flower scent was not too strong, so I could enjoy it refreshingly, and it was perfect as a cool dessert on a hot day. It was the perfect choice to feel the characteristics of Farm Tomita.

#December Travel Support Event The pork cutlet I had at Farm Tomita was delicious with the harmony of crispy batter and soft meat. In particular, the sauce was moderately sweet and salty, which brought out the flavor of the meat well. The salad that came with it was also fresh and clean, so it went well with the meal. The lavender drink had a unique scent and a subtle sweetness, which made it refreshing to enjoy on a hot day. The lavender scent was not strong, so anyone could drink it without feeling burdened, and drinking it while looking at the lavender field at Farm Tomita felt like a special experience. It was a satisfying time for both the food and the atmosphere.

#December Travel Support Event I visited Sapporo Farm Tomita, and the endless lavender fields were truly fantastic. Various flowers bloomed in each season, creating a rich color, and especially the scent of lavender carried by the wind was healing in itself. I tasted lavender ice cream at the cafe in the farm, and it was a special experience because it was fragrant and soft. The souvenir shop had a variety of lavender-related products, so it was good for gifts. It was the perfect place to spend a peaceful time in nature.

The exterior of this pizza shop is lovely. The interior also has a warm atmosphere. The pizzas are 10 inches (26-27 cm), and if you can't finish it, you can take it away, but you can have one per person. The most popular dishes are the Genovese pizza, of which only 10 are available per day, and the Quattro Formaggi. I was attracted by the anchovies, so I ordered the Pizza Romana. The olives and fresh basil add a nice accent and make it delicious. I also ordered cheesecake for dessert. It was a rare cheesecake. I was wondering whether to have a cafe latte, but it seemed more like an au lait than a latte, so I had some red wine with it. The food was delicious, but the wife's personality was very nice and we had a lot of fun talking together.

The only restaurant in Minamifurano that serves breakfast. Breakfast is served from 6:30 to 9:00. This cafe is amazing! Even the Hokkaido squirrels come to eat breakfast! After 7:30, they may get full and go out, so if you want to enjoy your meal while watching the Hokkaido squirrels, you must get up early! You can see the Hokkaido squirrels from up close, though only through the window. By the way, there are also dogs in cages inside the cafe. The only breakfast menu is the morning set (1,500 yen)! It is a set of hot dog, salad, yogurt, and soup. The latte after the meal was also very delicious. Looking at the menu, the lunch was also attractive. There are almost no Thai restaurants in Hokkaido, but I found Khao Man Gai! Amazing! In addition, although it seems that it is not open at night at this time of year, it also serves motsunabe because the owner is from Fukuoka. Since motsunabe is hard to find in Hokkaido, I thought it was an attractive cafe no matter when you go from morning to night.

Tokachidake Onsen in Tokachidake, Hokkaido. I came to Yumoto Ryounkaku, a secret hot spring with lukewarm water for climbers. It's 8 degrees in early September, so it's cold. The famous lukewarm water flows from a 30 degree hot spring. It was too cold at night, so I couldn't go in. The bathing while looking at the majestic Tokachidake is ranked in various categories such as lukewarm water, spectacular views, and snow scenery in the Nikkei rankings. It was also used in the movie "From the North Country." On the way back, I had miso ramen and soft serve ice cream at New Chitose Airport! (It takes about 3 hours to get there, so please allow yourself plenty of time.) #besttrip2023
