Top 20 things to do and attractions in Nakafurano-cho

Farm Tomita in Furano is one of Hokkaidō’s most beautiful flower spots. In summer, the fields turn into waves of purple lavender, mixed with colorful flower rows that look like a painting. Walking through the gardens is relaxing, and the views of the fields with mountains in the background are stunning. Don’t miss the lavender soft cream—it’s fragrant and refreshing on a warm day. Entry is free, and you can also shop for lavender products like perfumes and soaps to take home. A must-visit if you travel to Furano in July or August.

🌸 A Living Masterpiece of Color and Fragrance Farm Tomita is nothing short of breathtaking—a true wonderland where nature and artistry blend seamlessly. The iconic lavender fields, stretching endlessly in waves of purple, are the crown jewel of the farm. When the breeze flows across, the entire hillside dances with lavender fragrance, creating an almost dreamlike atmosphere. It’s not just a visual delight but also a sensory journey that stays with you long after you leave. ⸻ 🌼 More Than Lavender – A Symphony of Flowers What makes Farm Tomita truly remarkable is that it’s not limited to lavender alone. The farm carefully cultivates a wide variety of seasonal flowers, painting the landscape in ever-changing patterns of color. Stripes of scarlet poppies, golden marigolds, snowy baby’s breath, and vibrant cosmos form breathtaking “rainbow fields” that look like a living painting under the Hokkaido sky. Each section feels like stepping into a different garden, each with its own charm and beauty. ⸻ 🌿 A Perfect Blend of Tradition and Care Farm Tomita doesn’t just showcase flowers—it represents decades of dedication to preserving and celebrating Hokkaido’s floral heritage. Walking through its fields, you can sense the meticulous care behind every bloom. The farm also offers unique lavender-based products—perfumes, essential oils, soaps, and even lavender ice cream—allowing visitors to take home a piece of this floral paradise. ⸻ 🌞 A Place to Slow Down and Feel Happiness Above all, Farm Tomita gives visitors something priceless: a sense of joy and peace. Whether it’s gazing at endless rows of lavender, enjoying the sweet fragrance in the air, or simply standing still to admire the vastness of colors, the farm reminds us how magical nature can be. It is not only a feast for the eyes but also nourishment for the soul. ⸻ ✨ In short: Farm Tomita is a place where flowers speak the language of beauty, harmony, and happiness—a destination that leaves every visitor inspired and enchanted.

It was my first time visiting a well-maintained lavender field, and being surrounded by the fragrant purple blossoms was both magical and fascinating—visually and aromatically. Purple is a rare color in nature; when you think about it, it’s actually not that easy to find naturally occurring purple around us. Here, you can also try lavender products like soaps, air fresheners, and even ice cream. As for the lavender ice cream… how should I put it? It’s not that it tasted bad, but it definitely felt a bit unusual. Let’s just say that until that moment, I had never imagined what fabric softener with lavender scent might taste like.

Visited on 29 Sep 2025 and didn't expect to see so many beautiful flowers here in autumn. There are far fewer crowds compared to spring and summer, allowing you to really enjoy the flower field. Recommend visiting in late September or early October if you're looking to avoid the heat and crowds.

Charming farm! 🌻 Farm Tomita is a beautiful spot to experience Hokkaido's countryside and enjoy the vibrant lavender fields. A perfect place to relax and connect with nature 😊 But unfortunately, when I went there, the lavender flowers had already been harvested and at that time there were only other flowers.

Probably the most famous flower fields in Furano given how all the tour buses were stopping here. Very crowded with tourists. The flower fields were nice and well maintained but I cant help to feel that other less crowded ones nearby were more lush and more enjoyable. Still, worth a visit. Especially enjoyed the gentle fragrance of lavender wafting in the air

After hearing about and seeing Farm Tomita in so many Furano itineraries, we definitely wanted to see as well even though we went in mid-October. There were some colourful flowers in bloom so it was pretty but obviously not as vibrant as in summer. Worth visiting for a few photos.

This was the first lavender farm I’d been to in Japan. This one is in Naka-Furano. We followed the pathway painted purple from the train station to the farm…very easy. We paid 700 yen to go up and down on the chairlift. At the top, there are photo spots. We enjoyed our time at this small farm.

My wife and I arrived at the lavender field on one evening in July but the sun setting behind the hill had cast the entire field in shadows. The vibrant colours of flowers were subdued. So, we left and returned early the next morning. This time, the flower fields were lit under a clear blue sky. We were so early that our rental car was the only vehicle in the car park. There was no crowd and we almost enjoyed the flower fields to ourselves! The flowers were beautiful in the early morning light without strong sunlight and contrast. Some of the flowering plants have not fully grown in their plots, and the earth is visible between the plants. Notwithstanding, it was still a beautiful sight.

The chair lift was so much fun! There are a lot of photo stops at the top so it was definitely a memorable experience. Loved every moment of it!

Beautiful flowers! Great place to chill since it's not crowded. The chair lift ride to the observation deck was fun 😁

Went on 16 June 2025. The chairlift price has increased to 700 yen for adults and 350 yen for children. Even though there are not a lot of flowers, it was still fun to go up and enjoy the view from up there.

A smaller flower field compared to others like Shikisai-oka or Tomiya farm next by, but I think it’s good to stop by if you have already been to the other places. There is free parking, ice cream, and especially a lift chair to take you to the top. Therr are also many set ups for sitting, relaxing, taking photos. I came during the summer holiday and oh my it was full of foreign tourists though…

Prefer Farm Tomita than here, smaller and less lavender. However less crowded.

Nice farm that you can visit to look at the flowers. Their premise is quite big so, it's a nice walk in the summer. The flowers will only bloom in jul so, we were too early when we visited in may. There is a restaurant on site so, you can buy some food if you're hungry.

Came in late september, still has some nice flowers but I can see about >50% of the fields are now past their prime. Still quite nice to walk around, small one story observatory. Small nice shop to purchase anything if needed.

This tourist attraction is definitely an Instagramable must-visit for those who love flowers and colourful flowers at that - with the added bonus, for the more observant visitors, a backdrop of Mount Tokachi volcano that was billowing today when I visited this attraction this afternoon.

Great place. Kamifurano. There is a great car park, so driving here is no problem. This place is great, beautiful thing. Like an ocean of flower 🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺. It has sunflowers, most iconic flowers, and many more that comes in different colours and sizes and styles. It is just soooooooooooooio beautiful

Flower Land Kamifurano has expansive fields of different flowering plants. The fields are separated by walking paths. Because each field occupies a big area, it does not feel crowded and visitors can pose and take photographs anywhere along the perimeter of each field. Looking eastwards, Mount Tokachi and Daisetsuzan National Park are in the background, providing a picture-perfect postcard. When my wife and I were there in July, the flower blooms were fresh despite the summer heat. There were a few wedding couples present having their photographs taken. The different flower fields provided many opportunities for nice photographs. Walking downhill from the main entrance, there is an elevated and sheltered observation wooden deck which provides an overall view of the flower fields. A few benches on the deck provide rest to those who need it. At the end of our visit, we browsed the merchandise in the retail shop and enjoyed cut melon fruit which was very sweet and refreshing. We had a wonderful time enjoying the flower fields without the crowds. Best of all, Flower Land Kamifurano provides free entry! Highly recommended for a visit.

It was not crowded at all. Lavender season is over (nearly), but sunflowers are in full bloom. Free entry.

Very nice location. It's simplicity makes it far better than Tomita in my opinion. Very easy to take good quality photographs. Cafe was good to get some food for the road.

Hinode Park Lavender Garden, located in Kamifurano, Hokkaido, is a captivating destination renowned for its expansive lavender fields. Often hailed as the birthplace of lavender cultivation in Japan, the park is a historic landmark of Japanese floriculture. Its sweeping vistas and the enchanting fragrance of blooming lavender make it a picturesque locale, attracting visitors from across the globe. The garden's lavender fields span approximately 4.2 hectares, with the best viewing period from late June to late July. A late-blooming variety called "Okamurasaki" is mainly planted, allowing visitors to appreciate the lavender even towards the end of the season. In addition to lavender, the park is adorned with a variety of seasonal flowers such as catmint and marigold. One of the park's highlights is the 360-degree panoramic observatory, offering sweeping views of the Tokachi mountain range and the Furano Basin. A popular spot within the park is the "Bell of Love," where couples come to declare their love, set against the backdrop of the lavender fields. The park also features an auto-campground and cottages, making it a suitable base for outdoor enthusiasts. Each July, Hinode Park hosts the "Lavender Festa Kamifurano," a festival celebrating the lavender season. In 2025, the event will feature a light-up period from July 12th to 21st, illuminating the lavender fields from 19:30 to 21:30. On July 19th, the festival will include stage events, food and drink stalls, and group exhibitions, providing a magical nighttime experience. Hinode Park Lavender Garden is easily accessible, located about 1.4 km from JR Kamifurano Station, approximately a 15-minute walk. The park offers free parking and is open 24 hours, though some facilities may be closed during the winter season.

Beautiful for sunset and greatest view of mt Tokachi-dake and other mountains at one spot. We were self driving but I can see only a short distance to walk up from the ground. Unfortunately lavender doesn’t turn purple until July. Yet, this is a great spot for the education of all mountains.

Excellent place to visit without any need to buy tickets or queue for super long like farm tomato. This place is quieter and less crowded. The farm is beautiful and has variety too for close photography. Must visit after 9am as all the shops are closed and even the toilet is not open 🙂. Overall good place to visit.

June 24th 2025, wasn't crowded as the lighting show hasn't start yet until July. Different section of lavender has different bloom date, most of them will only bloom in mid July, nonetheless still a very nice place to visit in June, weather is fantastic as around 23C in the late afternoon.

I visited this park on a public holiday. The parking space was large and there was no need to wait for parking space. There was no need to buy tickets and there was free entrance. You should choose a day with blue sky so that the pictures taken would be more beautiful. When the peak there was a bell for you to ring. Many people took pictures with it and so did I. You could drive the car to the top of the peak and park there.

Sadly the lavenders are changing colour. It is still beautiful and you can smell lavender in the air

Lavender not in full bloom yet, however, not crowded and feels very nice to take in the breeze up on the hill!

Ningle Terrace feels like stepping into a little fairytale village, with rows of charming wooden cottages surrounded by trees. Each house sells unique handmade souvenirs, from candles to crafts, giving you something special to bring home instead of typical tourist gifts. It’s a pleasant place to stroll slowly, enjoy the atmosphere, and discover local creativity. The pathways are well kept and beautifully lit in the evening, which makes it even more magical. Parking is convenient with plenty of spaces available, so it’s easy to stop by even on a busy day. We spent about an hour just walking around and browsing the shops. It’s a peaceful and memorable stop, perfect for anyone who enjoys nature and artisanal items.

Magical, especially at evening/ night time when all the lights are twinkling against the back drop of the forest. We visited it as part of our Furano tour. Each hut housed individual artisan crafting leather goods, earrings, mini wooden windmills, and other wooden trinkets. The only caution noted are for the more mature visitors who might have a hard time with the steps which could be steep and sometimes slippery if wet or snowy. Other than that, this was a cute and fun place to explore.

This is a place with beautiful scenery all year round, with a different atmosphere in every season. The small wooden cottages blend perfectly with the surroundings. The handmade crafts inside aren’t cheap, but they’re worth checking out if you’re interested. It’s located near the New Furano Prince Hotel and ski resort, so there are many visitors in winter. There’s only one road leading up here, and it can get a bit crowded during the peak winter season.

If you ask me whether this place is beautiful — I’d say it’s really beautiful. But I drove quite a long way to get here, about an hour. I came during the autumn season, around 6:30 p.m., and most of the shops were already closed, though the lights were still beautifully lit. I’d say if you’re coming from far away and don’t have your own car, it might be a bit tricky to get here. But if you’re staying nearby and it’s easy for you to travel around, this place is definitely worth a visit. The cool October air made everything look even more wonderful. 🍂

This place feels like it is in a fairy tale! Love the building design. There are many shops that sell hand crafted products and you may find something that interests you. The only issue that I cannot enjoy that much is there are many inserts like caterpillars, spiders and flies everywhere, other than that I will be really enjoying the time spent there.

it is a magical spot visit during winter night if you love the vibe of elf feel. However, it is crowded and difficult for me to enjoy it. It has a big parking spot. Next to it has a small amusement park which my kids enjoy it.

31 August 2025 Wooden Shops selling handcraft souvenir ie candles, silvers, wooden craft art and a cafe. A beautiful forest concept shopping place. When night falls it will even be more magical as fairy lights lit up the whole path way Safe to walk but not wheelchair friendly

No one to guide us when we were there. So we just walked around and tried the free tasting wine. There are paid tasting wine too. Has a small souvenir shop where you can get wine and some snacks.

A delightful stop for wine lovers in the heart of Hokkaido. Furano Winery offers an immersive experience, from the charming entrance at Chateau Furano to the cellar tours showcasing rows of oak barrels and beautifully aged bottles. The tasting area is well-stocked with a diverse selection of local wines, including their award-winning Portland white and fun collaborations with the Hokkaido Fighters. The wines are well-crafted, with a refreshing fruitiness characteristic of the region. Informative displays and a peek into the winemaking process round out a pleasant visit. A must-visit for those exploring the Furano area.

For non wine people, it was a decent experience and time here. Not too big, so 45mins is sufficient to spend here to taste some wine and browse the shop

A small cosy wine factory. There is free wine tasting and a piece of alcohol chocolate to try. You must be 20yr and above to get the free tasting and chocolate.

Pleasant exploring the winery and learning the process of making red and white wine! You can taste 3 wines for free and many other wines at a small cost. You can buy many selections of wine there. They accept most credit cards (but not Youtrip), and they are not tax free at all.

A nice place to visit. A 2 level building and display some local Furano wine. Reasonable price. They even have free and paid wine tasting. Beautiful area too and ample parking. Will be back

Our day trip to the town of Biei had us stopping here. Founded in 1972, views from here are very picturesque. EXPERIENCE: No active production can be seen here, like the majority of public Hokkaido manufacturing. Walk and read the signs if you wish. An aging room can be viewed behind glass windows but I wouldn’t stay in there long as it had a funky odor and what looked like black mold on the walls. Upstairs you’ll find a tasting room with a self-serve station featuring 2 types of white and 2 types of red wine dispensed from tiny barrels. Thereafter is the gift shop. TIP: Their grape juice factory is closed until 2025. OVERALL: Visit to taste the wine and purchase. Skip everything else.

Highly recommended if you are already in the area. Get something from Farm Tomita or here even a soft serve will get you 200 yen off the tractor ticket. We came this morning, the second day they open for business this season. Not crowded at all and most of the visitors were Japanese. The lavender field is way bigger here and this is where they eventually harvest for making perfume and soap. A very good complement to the Farm Tomita main site.

I visited Lavender East on 29th June, 2025. The view was nice but all Lavender not bloomed yet. You can take bus ticket to visit the entire Lavender farm, it take 500 yen/adult. This is the largest lavender farm in Japan. Also you can enjoy Tokachi volcano from here. Enjoy.

I quite enjoyed Farm Tomita. Unfortunately though the lavender was all but blossomed. I would recommend checking in advance so you avoid wasting time. Otherwise they have a nice lavender shop and multiple dessert places so you can always find something to do even if the weather is bad or lavender not blossomed.

Love this place. The aroma of lavender is in the air! We went there at 9 am, and no one was there yet so we had good time taking photos before the crowd comes at around 10am.There is a kinda bus ( tractor) that carry tourists for a ride around the lavender farm. This place is less crowded compared to the main Tomita Farm.

This is Farm Tomita's second area of fields in the bottom of the valley. There is a gift shop, food stand, toilets and a covered seating area. There are also far fewer visitors than at the main site. They offer tractor rides around the fields. This is where you come if you want a lavender field picture with no people in it.

This farm is not very big but it is beautiful. Although some area do not have colorful plant or flower, but it is still beautiful. Enjoy taking a scroll.

Very vast and endless fields of lavender—it was such a joy to see them. To be honest, the ice cream was just average, though the price was reasonable.

A great stop for anyone interested in cheese and local food production. The facility is clean, informative, and offers a look into how their famous cheese is made. You can watch part of the process through viewing windows and learn about different cheese types. The tasting samples are a nice bonus, and the freshly made cheese is delicious. Don’t miss the milk ice cream and pizza from the cafe next door. A peaceful, family-friendly spot surrounded by nature. Great for cheese lovers and curious travelers!

Visited the Furano Cheese Factory which also includes an ice cream shop and a pizza kitchen. We even saw classrooms where students were learning how to make waffles and other desserts, which added a nice, hands-on vibe to the place. The most eye-catching item was the asparagus ice cream. It felt a little too adventurous for me, so I gave it a pass and tried other flavors instead. The ice cream was light, not too sweet, and really let the fresh milk flavor shine. Important heads-up: both the ice cream and pizza shops only accept cash. We were already running low on Japanese yen, so we ended up skipping the pizza despite being completely tempted by the amazing smell. Unfortunately, we had already bought the ice cream first. And since both of us are more into savory food, that was a bit of a regret. Lesson learned. Inside the main hall, there was a cheese tasting station where we sampled all the different cheeses on sale. We bought the one we liked most right after. Overall, it’s a chill and family-friendly stop with fresh milk, light desserts, great-smelling pizza and a fun little cheese lesson. Just remember to bring cash if you plan to indulge in everything.

I really love the cheese-flavored soft ice cream here – it’s my absolute favorite! Highly recommended in any season. The seating area is comfortable, and you can also enjoy making cheese and butter yourself. Their pizza is pretty good too!

When you visit Furano, you must visit this place to enjoy their milk, cheese cake and their Italian style pizza. From Furano station we took cab for 1550 yen in 10 minutes ride. They sell various cheese, milk nd butter made by their factory. They accept cash and card 💳 in their shop. To order pizza you must take the coupon order from vending machine , and pay it cash.The cost of the pizza 1000- 3000 yen, depend on the kind of pizza that you choose. Don't forget to visit theirices cream shop as well and try their cheese softcream. As I went by cab so I ask a favor the the ice cream shop keeper to help to call the cab back to furano station.

The factory experience is brief, with just three cheesemaking stages shown, but their products easily earn five stars!! The fresh milk is rich yet light, the cheesecake soft and airy, and the cheese soft serve is one of the thickest and smoothest we’ve ever tasted 😍 And they were reasonably priced too! Plus, there’s a large lawn where you can relax and enjoy your food 😌

it was located in midst of the village lots of tree and quite interesting. there was free tasting of some cheese. all very tasty... a pizza making kitchen was also next to it where you can see how pizzas are made.. .

Cheese good, pizza dough just so so! Underproof and difficult to digest! Price not cheap for 4 cheese pizza! Need to wait for 40mins, I doubt the temp of the pizza oven is >400C 😂

Beautiful park with lavender fields over looking the northern part of Furano. Less tourists here which was welcome. So many couples taking marriage photos here, just as a testament to how beautiful this place is. Butterflies flying all around. A cafe up top. Ample parking. Toilets present. Vending machines to quench your thirst. Strongly recommended! You can even ring the bell in the middle and have a picture perfect frame of the lavender fields behind.

In July, we were at another lavender field in the late afternoon but the evening sun had cast its shadows across the field and the colours were darkened in the shadows. So, we drove to Hinode Park, having first checked on the Internet that the hill slope would be illuminated by the setting sun. We drove up to the hilltop at Hinode Park. Indeed, we were delighted that the setting sun lit up the lavender fields on the hill slope. It wasn't crowded in the evening. There were a few wedding couples having their photos taken amongst the lavender fields.

Very nice hilly park. However when I went in end of September, most of the flowers were not there anymore. The top of the observatory was nice however. Nice bonus view in the washrooms!

Beautiful park with free admission and parking. Less crowded compared to Tomita. Visited here early July, lavenders are fully bloomed only in some fields and other flowers still in a young stage. Found 1 couple came here for pre-wedding 👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️and met 1 couple with a lovely dog 🐶

It's free and it's absolutely beautiful, especially if you come in the peak of summer when all the lavenders are in bloom. It's a lovely colourful garden with a scenic spot for romantic photos. Other times of the year, it's much quieter and less photogenic, but still nice.

I finally visited Hinode Park last week, having seen stunning photos of its lavender fields. Unfortunately, the gloomy weather made it feel more spacious than vibrant. 😅😅😅 Unlike Tomita Farm which still has flowers in early September, Hinode Park is quite low maintenance and lacked blooms during my visit. I’m definitely planning to return in June or July for the blooming season! A quick note to those visitors with elders and young children: it takes about 15 minutes to walk from the car park to the peak which has steps but well paved.

We were the only ones there when we visited the park and it was a lovely climb up the hill. Ringing the bell at the top of the hill was quite the experience and the views of Furano and surrounding areas were beautiful. A must visit when in Furano.

Small lavender farm. Not crowded. We visited at the end of July 2018 and saw a couple having their wedding photos taken by a professional photographer.

Not as busy as other lavender fields I visited, better photo opportunities. If a crew is present cutting the lavender, find a spot downwind for the most amazing smell!

We got here in early july. Flowers are not in full bloom yet and there are few people. Most of the drinks in the vending machine are out of stock. There is also a designated make up room for wedding couples!

Pretty lavender fields and other flowers, free to walk along. A few shops and cafes nearby. Good for a brief stop.

Amazing lavender land...I'm sure Hokkaido also has many popular places to explore in summer!

Not far from Farm Tomita which is swarmed with tourists from all over the world. You can take the photos with the plentiful rows of lavenders, marigolds, etc in Saika no Sato at leisure without need to clamour for space to take a nice photo. Certainly a good place that similarly offers the charms of what Furano can offer.

Nothing much to see on Jun 20. Should come here in July.

The food, services, and atmosphere with a view like this place are all perfect 💯 It's absolutely one of the best fine dining in Hokkaido. All my family really enjoyed the experience (we came as a group of 50 people)

Don’t think you can call yourself a Wine House if you fall short of standard restaurant practices and etiquette by so much. Perhaps I’m overly critical but I’m reviewing this as a wine lover. 1) Quality of wine is so low it was shocking. I regret not taking a look at cellar tracker before visiting the wine house. The low scores were indeed accurate. 2) Price of wine was comparable to entry tier European fine wines but obviously the quality was nowhere near. Around 3500-4000yen for crappy wine. 3) Selection of wines were extremely limited. Seriously you shouldn’t call yourself a wine house. The vintages were also not displayed in the menu and when queried, the vintages were all recent years with one vintage per type of wine. Now we move on to the food. It was mediocre. Overpriced. You can get much better food elsewhere in town. Don’t waste your time here. Extremely disappointed.

Went there for dinner two nights ago. We were the only table there. Walked in without reservation. Cheese fondue was very good. We order extra fondue, extra bread and extra vegetables. Kids shared a four cheese pizza. And we had venison and Wagyu steaks. Also had a bottle of Furano wine. Very fruity and went well with the food which was made with local ingredients. Bill was more than 50,000 yen which was a lot more compared to the other local restaurants. But we did enjoyed the food.

We first visited the wine house in the basement. Cool experience and they allow samples of their wine without the pushy sales experience. There are also barrels upon barrels of wine in the cellar. At the upper deck, there is a restaurant. We ordered cheese fondue and loved it. Could do with a little more vegetables, but the experience was memorable

Visited on Feb 2024, noon. Menu largely consists of various Western-style steaks, and they are generally decent and prepared quickly. I felt that the cheese fondue's not worth it, despite how delicious the name and the pictures look.

Restaurant with amazing view and fantastic wine. I’ve ordered the white wine and the taste of the wine is really special, it doesn’t taste really strong of the alcohol however it has a really fragrant smell. The cheese fondue is pretty delicious and the pork patty is quite tender and overall is quite a good experience.

Their grape juice and furano steaks is a must order. I've been to furano twice and I'm still amazed but the food quality.

Visited 25 June 2025. Only lupines and peonies. Lavender not blooming yet. It was gravel road leading this place. Currently, not what it looks like in the poster. Maybe a couple more weeks. 2km from Jam Garden.

Lovely little viewing platform but not quite so scenic if you've just missed the lavender and flower blooms as we had arriving on 11th August. But if you're nearby its worth a visit for the quiet stillness and butterflies.

Visited on 8 October 2025. Although it’s a bit of a drive from Furano, the views are absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the right season for the flowers to bloom, but I was lucky enough to spot a wild deer in the forest!

Very scenery area. You can see snow mountain as well as vast field of greens and flowers even in summer. Highly recommended to come here if you are nearby.

Visited in late June and there are scarcely any colour. The spot is quiet and the view down the slope is quite refreshing.

Many beautiful flowers and nice scenery.

Nice viewpoint. Especially the flowers and butterflies were great!!

Visited here early July, the flowers still in a young stage 🪻🌷🌻💐🌺. You can buy a ticket for riding the chairlift to the top. Better check the operating time first as we visited there since 8:30 and still not operated yet. Nothing much up there but you can walk around and enjoy the nice scenery and furano view from the top!

Visited in early June. Just a couple of rows of flowers in sight. It’s a park but well maintained. Free parking onsite.

Quite interesting to take the chair lift. Cost 400 yen round trip. There is a small walk (very short) when up to the ground. Not a lot to see considering it’s still early (mid-late June) for lavender blooming.

Beautiful flower hills at the centre of Nakafurano town near the JR station. it takes about 15 mins walk. there is a Restaurant, Public rest room, Water fountain park, Hiking course connect to the Forest park on the Mountain. Superb view from the top of the hill.

If you come at the right time, you can see a flower garden that looks like a beautiful carpet.

Date visit 28 Jul 2024. Lots of free parking spaces.

Beautiful free garden, I stopped by here briefly on my way to Biei, the staff were friendly and there was a good selection of shops to get ice cream, curry and other food

These 2 mini buildings houses a souvenir store, food court, a bakery, a fresh produce store and ice cream store. Easy to browse and not too crowded. Free parking onsite.

We visited in August and really enjoyed our time here. There’s plenty of fresh produce to buy and take home, plus bakeries, ice cream, and souvenirs for both gifting and memories. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, snack, and enjoy the town’s atmosphere. We spent some time walking around, tasting different foods, and relaxing—it felt refreshing. The tomato juice is especially tasty, and the bakeries are worth trying as well. It’s also convenient that the shop offer tax refunds for 5,000 JPY and above, which makes shopping easier for tourists. Overall, it’s a great stop if you’re traveling in the area, whether to stock up on local goods or simply enjoy some time off the road.

Furano Marche is the ultimate one-stop shop for souvenirs. This fantastic market conveniently brings together a wide variety of local goods and handcrafted items from all over the region, making it easy to find the perfect memento. But it's not just for shopping—the market is also a foodie's paradise. You can find a mouthwatering selection of local foods, refreshing drinks, and delightful desserts. It's a highly recommended stop for anyone wanting to experience the best of Furano's flavors and products all in one place.

Its a small area of shops that sell mainly souvenirs and food. There is a small grocery shop, a small food court as well and a couple of souvenir shops. I think the prices are pretty reasonable so you can do most of your souvenir shopping here. There is plenty of free parking.

Small city and this place makes a good stop over for toilet and coffee breaks, thus output and input Cafe serves interesting local bread with their ingredients, coffee is soothing As usual, lots of Japanese snacks and biscuits available

Great shopping and food centre in an easy to access location. There is a bakery, cafe, farmers market, souvenir shop and several food stands here. There is another part of the complex across the street from the main building, this contains more cafes and restaurants. The parking is free and time unlimited. It is very busy but the car park staff are super organized, I only waited 5 minutes to park. You can park here and easily access central Furano.

Good place to get lavender icecream. There is also a lot of baked delicacies in this mall - probably some of the best i have had in my trip.

There isn’t much to do in summer. We went because they have jam tasting counter but it was closed. Could be because of the season. We went in spring (May 9th, 2024). We did try their dessert, it was really good. Crème brûlée ice cream croissant, the flavors went together really well.

In addition to jams, they also sell little snacks at the cafe. Really enjoyed the catellena ice cream crossiant. Managed to get some tasting as there were a group of Japanese tour group in the shop.

Many unique types of jam. Great place to get souvenirs. They have the best croissants I have ever had! Definitely must try. Highly recommended!

There is nothing to do here except see the wide variety of hand-made jams sold here. They have very interesting flavoured jams. They are very pricey, though. Bought a melon jam to try.

Same old Jam store. There are many varieties of Jam and I am delighted to find chestnut jam. A huge sign outside the store indicated a flower field if you drive up the holly road. Nothing on 31st July 2025. They should have warn people about it. So for making me drive up the hill for nothing but disappointment, I have to take away 1 star.

Furano Jam Garden is a jam specialist, and what many people may not know, but you can make your own strawberry jam here! And additionally, you can custom hand-draw your labels and the whole thing comes together so beautifully. Additionally, they also do sell Furano wines as they are also horticulture specialist that have their own Haskap Berry Wine! Give it a try!

Home made jam lots of interesting flavours natural taste also sells nice ornaments and had a cafe for drinks and ice cream

Mr Okuda was very friendly and welcoming, and we found it very cool to be able to meet the artist behind all the artwork. He has so many beautiful paintings showcasing the natural beauty of Hokkaido, and explained many of his works. This should be a must see place if you’re in the area. Thank you so much Mr Okuda!

We took a leisure walk into the gallery and the artist’s home compound. It was an old elementary school that was turned into an art gallery. There was also an old chapel which you can visit. We love the tranquil atmosphere. We chanced upon the artist and had a little conversation with him. We can feel what he is like from his artwork and the space he has created around him. It is a space not to be rushed but to soak in the messages and memories of the artist’s life and his journey.

Amazing owner so kind and his art was beautiful. Love from Australia, please give this a visit!

The owner who is also the artist of the paintings gave us a very warm welcome and tour of the place. Pictures and video do no justice for the paintings, it is an immersive experience and you have to embrace it in person while you are there. There is also a relaxing garden for a stroll and you might even see some cute and friendly nekos.

It was great to meet and talk with the artist while enjoying his creations over the years. The grounds are very peaceful and the cats are very friendly.

(Translated by Google) This is a landscape art museum and a garden. There is also a stone statue of Mary and a prayer hut. The manager gave us an explanation. There are also many cats in the garden, so it is also recommended for cat lovers. (Original) 風景画の美術館と、庭園です。マリア像と言われる石像や祈りの小屋もあります。 管理人からの説明もしてもらいました。 なお、庭には、猫がたくさんいますので、猫好きな方にもお勧めですね。

(Translated by Google) At first glance, I couldn't find where the tickets were sold, so I headed towards the garden. It would have been helpful if there was a sign indicating the museum was open at the entrance to the building on the right. There were lots of cats in the garden, some of them very friendly. It might be a good place for cat lovers. They also sell cat food. There were carp swimming in the pond. More than anything, the stones were quite fascinating, and while I was talking about them with the curator, he also gave me a detailed explanation about the stones in the museum's stone exhibition area. It was after hours, but thank you very much. There were many rare stones, so it's definitely worth a visit for rock lovers. (Original) ぱっとみどこでチケットを販売しているかわからず、庭の方へ行ってしまいました。入って右の建物の入口に開館中などの表示があると助かります。庭には猫がたくさんいて、中には人懐こい猫もいました。猫好きにはいいかも。餌も売っています。池には鯉が泳いでいました。それよりも、石がなかなか面白くて、館長さんと石の話をしていると、館内の石の展示場でも詳しく石について解説してくれました。時間外になってしまいましたが、ありがとうございました。珍しい石ばかりで、岩石ファンは一見の価値あり。
