The pleasure is mine, to shareVery nicely documented with great pictures. Enjoyed going through them. Thanks for sharing
Yes, in summer, these flowers are the 'must see'; in winter, it's the white trees; in spring, it's cherry blossoms, and in autumn, the changing colours of leaves/trees...
Some answers to questions asked by one of the CSers (freefall7).
1. When was the exact date when you was at Biei ?
11 Jul 2009
2. Do you think first week of Aug will be too late to see all those flower bloom ?
My sense is that most of the flowers will start to bloom in end June, bloom throughout July and starts to decline in early August. Maybe Sunflowers still around in August.
3. How was the weather like in Hokkaido during your trip ?
The weather like alternate day of good/fine and rainy days.
4. Was it too hot at Tokyo ?
Well, it feels like Singapore in Tokyo but less humid, in my own opinion.

Hi henrylim...
Thanks for your kind reply.
I am planning a trip between 26 July ~ 7 Aug this year.
Hope to visit Biei in late July and Hokuryu in early Aug..and later 1~2 in Tokyo.
I am struggling to plan for a time which is best to view Lavender in Biei, sunflower in Hokuryu and Disneyland in Tokyo
(too hot to queue in summer). Sigh...

Sounds like fun! -3 degrees sounds like freezing to me. I hope your family were in the right gears/clothes to "endure" the cold there. I think Otaru does get more romantic in the evening/night, and I can imagine the white scene of snow there... Maybe I go again when it is winter next time
And the part about the ice-cream - yes! I agree the ice-cream there is delicious! 
Hi! Upgraded my photo gallery software and just realised that the URL mappings are all off.... Just restored them in this thread...
Cheers and hope you will enjoy it once more!! =D
