Is Furano/Biei worth visiting mid-November?
Hi there! I’m planning on visiting Hokkaido for the first time Nov 18-22.
1 night Noribetsu
4 nights Sapporo (2 day trips)
I’m planning on doing two day trips out of Sapporo—Otaru and possibly Furano/Biei area.
My question: is Furano/Biei worth a visit in November? I was hoping to ride a bike along the hills and check out the Tomita farm and patchwork fields, but would it just be dreary, barren, and cold?
I haven’t been able to find any YouTube videos of people visiting the area during that time. Not sure if that’s a sign…
Please share any recommendations or first-hand experiences! Is that area still worth a visit in November? Should I plan a day trip somewhere else?
I would have loved to experience the flowers and warm weather. Is it worth it to save Hokkaido for a future Summer trip instead?
