WELCOME
Hokkaido is the northern island of Japan and Furano-shi (town) is located in the geographical centre, or bellybutton as we call it, of this island. It's a wild place with bears, rivers, mountains and alpine weather, a

nd also a charming place with large flower farms, cool climate vineyards, artisan galleries, and unbeatable driving or cycling scenery - nearby Biei is famous for it. And then there's the snow riding...

Skiers, boarders and snow play enthusiasts will not be dissappointed by the local resort, nearby resorts, back country offerings, or local skating tracks. Unlike other places, it's less 'discovered' (you may not bump into as many people from back home). Accommodation here ranges from luxury hotels and apartments to budget hostels and camping. Transportation options include hiring a car (bring your international driving permit), taxis (affordable by most standards), trains, busses, and seasonal options geared to visitors. You can hire a bike near our office for 200 yen an hour - a great option in the right conditions. Nearby international airports are in Sapporo and Asahikawa, both easily accessed by public transport. This is a snapshot and we hope to show you more. From the Staff & Volunteers

Classic Car Meeting in Furano

That's what the Japanese call it, word for word. The annual classic car show is happening this year on Sunday, June 28 beginning at 10:00 AM. As always, the event will be held in the lower parking lot of the Furano Winery and admission is free.

Every year I am astounded by the cars (and motorcycles) that have been collected in Hokkaido. It's just amazing. Be sure to stop by. For the true afficionados, show up at 9:00 or so and sit by the road to watch the cars drive in. Even more fun!

See you in Furano.

Fun in Sydney at Snow Travel Expo

Furano Tourism was at the recent Snow Travel Expo in Sydney hanging out in the Hokkaido Powder Belt and Asahikawa regional booths.

We had a blast talking to folks about the awesome snow in Furano, and our small-town atmosphere. We are a town that happens to have world-class skiing, but not really a resort. Lots of people really like that. Many say to me, "When I'm in Furano, I feel like I'm visiting Japan, not just a resort in Japan."

We even had some of regular annual visitors stop by to say Hi, and it was especially nice to see them.

And now for flowers...coming soon!

See you in Furano.

Mid-May Flower Update

It's mid-May, and flower season is just around the corner.

Here's an update today from Farm Tomita, and Flowerland, the two biggest flower fields closest to Furano.

Planting has begun in earnest with big teams out in force at Farm Tomita. Expect everything to be planted by the end of the month. After that, Mother Nature will do her thing and grow those flowers up into the beautiful rainbow stripes.

We're still about a month away from the lavender. It's too early to predict anything precise, but so far it's been a warmer spring than average, so if that holds, then the little purple flowers may bloom slightly earlier than our usual June 20 benchmark.

Early flower lovers can enjoy the almost non-existent crowds. All the shops are open for your flower-related souvenirs. And of course, the famed lavender and melon soft cream is on tap.

See you in Furano.

Dandelion Love

The yearly dandelion bloom is as much a part of spring here in Furano as the cherry blossoms, or the tulips. They are everywhere!!

Feared and despised in countries with manicured lawns, the dandelion flourishes in Hokkaido. It's not exactly cultivated, but neither are any measures taken to limit or eliminate them.

In fact, dandelions are a symbol of resilience in Japan due to their tenacious ability to grow anywhere, even when not invited. Enjoy.

Happy Children's Day

Today Japan celebrates Children's Day, one of the four holidays during Golden Week.

Many families choose to commemorate by flying carp flags. Carp are revered for their perseverance while swimming upstream; a proper role model for kids facing the future challenges of life.

Luckily, May is usually quite windy in Japan, allowing the carp flags to fly free in the wind!

Flower Update

Short answer: Not yet.

Spring is slowly moving along here in Furano. It's still getting down close to freezing at night, which in general, is not good for flowers.

A few of the hearty varieties have been planted, but that is only roughly 5% of the total fields. Still, if you gotta see flowers now, then there are a few. Also if you want to see some lavender now, there is some blooming in the greenhouse, but not in the fields yet, not until around June 20.

See you in Furano.
