Explore themed areas like “Owl’s Forest,” where you can buy owl-themed products, or “Glass House,” offering ice and snowflake-themed items.

• Furano Wine Factory - Besides its lavender fame, Furano is renowned for its wine. Established in 1972, the “Furano City Grape Research Institute” focuses on cultivating the finest grape varieties and producing exceptional wine.

The region’s land and climate are naturally suited for grape cultivation, resulting in some of the finest wines produced here today.

At the red-brick wine factory, observe the production and fermentation processes. Of course, you can also sample the available wines. During grape blossom season, the area is beautifully illuminated. The shop offers a variety of wines, grape juice, and other gifts to take home.

• Shirogane Blue Pond - Experience the enchanting “blue world” created by nature at this “blue lake,” aptly named for its color. The blue hue results from aluminum from the Shirakane hot springs upstream, which, when struck by sunlight, scatters short blue wavelengths.

The view is most captivating on early sunny mornings, with pine trees enhancing the scenery. Over 1.5 million visitors come to witness this breathtaking sight each year. Winter light displays add to the allure. Enjoy nearby hot springs and the stunning views of the “blue lake” by day and night.

This waterfall is classified as a ‘submerged flow explosion,’ a rarity in Japan. The view from the bridge, known as the ‘Blue River,’ is highly recommended.

In winter, the contrast between the waterfall’s streaks, snow, and rock surface becomes more pronounced, with spray and steam creating fog and ice on the trees, enhancing the magical scenery.
