1 Chitose - Furano

We wait to welcome you at Chitose Airport on Hokkaido island, Japan.

We take you on a journey to Furano, a distance of 125 km taking about 1 hour and 50 minutes. Furano is truly one of Hokkaido's most famous towns. It is a popular destination for tourists to view lavender fields and enjoy winter skiing, with pleasantly cool weather year-round. In summer, the hottest attraction is undoubtedly Farm Tomita in Nakafurano, a large lavender farm surrounded by lavender fields as far as the eye can see. In winter, the ski slopes here are just as popular as anywhere in Hokkaido.

We take you to see and taste Furano's most famous fruit—melon—at Tomita Melon House, featuring produce from Farm Tomita. Here, you'll find numerous melon-based treats, including fresh melon, melon ice cream, and many melon desserts.

In the afternoon, we take you to Shirogane, a distance of 37 km (about 45 minutes of travel time), to visit Aoiike Blue Pond, located on the left bank of the Bieigawa River.

Afterward, take a stroll and shop for charming souvenirs at Ningle Terrace, a cluster of wooden cottages showcasing and selling traditional Japanese handicrafts, beautifully illuminated with lovely lights in a wonderfully warm and cozy atmosphere.

We take you to the Former Hokkaido Government Office Building, or Akarenga (meaning "red brick" in Japanese). Built in 1888, this American neo-Baroque style building was modeled after the Massachusetts State House.

Then, take photos at Sapporo Clock Tower, a beautiful historic building surrounded by modern downtown architecture, built in 1878 as a drill hall for the former Sapporo Agricultural College.
