Misato town lavender field, Botanical garden in Misato, Japan
Misato town lavender field is a garden with approximately 20,000 plants arranged in purple rows across multiple hectares. The site displays different varieties of lavender in one location.
This field was founded more recently as part of efforts to expand local agriculture and attract visitors to the area. It represents a shift toward agricultural diversification in Akita Prefecture.
The local events show how lavender is grown and processed in this region. Visitors can observe traditional production methods and learn about the uses of the plants.
The best time to visit is from mid-June to late July when the blooms are at their peak. Direct transportation options connect from Kakunodate Station to the garden.
The garden cultivates a rare white lavender variety called Misato Sekka that produces pure white flowers instead of the typical purple blooms. This special variety is seldom found elsewhere.
