【YoutubeLive from 19:30】We are planning to hold live of Yui Makino, Kamifurano Tourism Ambassador.
Yui Makino's appearance, which was scheduled for July 17, may be a close contact with the new coronavirus, so we have decided not to do so. Thank you to everyone who was looking forward to the appearance, and thank you for your understanding. We would like to inform you that the 25th anniversary ceremony of the friendship city with Tsu City, Mie Prefecture will be held as scheduled.
Yui Makino, a voice actress, singer, and pianist, took the stage. She was appointed as a PR ambassador by Kamifurano Town due to her fondness for Pocca Sapporo's Furano Lavender Tea, which uses lavender from Kamifurano.

History
Lavender known as Hokkaido's summer tradition is not endemic species to Japan. In 1937, SODA AROMATIC Co., Ltd. obtained lavender seeds by 5kg from Antoine Vial Co in France. Kamifurano Town started lavender cultivation since 1948, and increased area of cultivation to 85ha at peak. Since synthetic perfume became the major stream, the area planted was decreased. However, cultivation was conducted toward tourism industry promotion as famous picturesque place in Hokkaido.
Lavender became the official flower of Kamifurano Town in 1981. Tourist attraction in Kamifurano Town grew popularity, and Shiki Sai Fest in summer lasted long.
This year event will be held to mark 41th year since lavender become the official flower of town, and illumination of lavender will be held.
