From Field to Blanket: Farm Picnics in Tokachi, Hokkaido

Let the rural Tokachi landscape’s vast sprawling fields be your perfect stroll and picnic spot! Called a “farm picnic,” join this exciting guided walk through genuine farm fields and learn about the crops growing before your eyes directly from local producers. Depending on the time of year, the tour differs – have a nanohana (rapeseed) flower picnic in Spring, a corn picnic in Summer, or a nagaimo (Chinese yam) harvesting picnic in Autumn. After learning about the food on the farm, bite down on some of the seasonal vegetables picked fresh from the fields. The simple taste of freshly picked vegetables is truly unlike anything else. After completing one tour, try one of the many other areas in Tokachi, such as Obihiro, Memuro, or Otofuke. Each locale offers different tour content, so there’s plenty to see and experience in this family-friendly affair!
