✨ A Day in Furano:
From Glass Beads to Cheese Treats ✨
Start your adventure at Glass Forest in Furano, where you can try your hand at a glass bead–making workshop. It’s a fun and hands-on way to craft your own keepsake—and the perfect souvenir to bring home. If DIY isn’t your style, don’t worry. The shop offers a dazzling selection of glassware and ornaments that will tempt any traveler to shop a little longer.
Once you’ve picked up your creations, it’s time to recharge. We’ll head into Furano town for a hearty lunch.
Lunch options range from local ramen shops to cafés serving Hokkaido specialties like Furano omelet curry and soup curry.
Once you have recharged, it's time to continue the journey to some of the area’s most charming spots.

Make sure to stop by Rokkatei, the beloved Hokkaido sweet maker famous for its signature confections. From melt-in-your-mouth butter cookies to seasonal fruit cakes, Rokkatei’s sweets make perfect gifts (or travel snacks).
Round off your day with a cozy tea break. Furano is famous for its cheese-based treats—think cheesecake, cheese tarts, or cheese soft-serve. Stop by the Furano Cheese Factory or a local café to enjoy these creamy delights with a warm drink. It’s the perfect way to wind down before heading back.
Insider Tip: Get to cheese factory by 4.00pm or return empty handed!
Oh, and don’t miss Ningle Terrace, a forest hideaway filled with artisan log cabins showcasing handmade crafts. A picture-perfect place to snap a few photos and pick up gifts.
