Kanayamako Forest Park is located by Kanayama Lake, a scenic lake located at Minamifurano, south of Furano. While the lavender fields in the forest park are not as majestic as those in Nakafurano and Kamifurano, the flowers against the backdrop of the lake is definitely a sight to behold. The framing of the flowers against the water and mountains gives it a very picturesque view different from what you might see at other fields.

Since it is away from the main lavender-viewing areas, the Kanyamako Forest Park also sees much lesser crowds, making it a perfect choice for those who want to enjoy the flowers in a quieter and more peaceful environment.
