▲ Roller Coaster Road is a 2.5 km straight road with extreme elevation changes, one of Furano's Eight Views. Named for its roller coaster-like ups and downs, this popular scenic drive offers magnificent mountain ranges and vast rural landscapes on both sides, allowing visitors to fully enjoy Hokkaido's views.

▲ Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) is located on the left bank of the Biei River in Hokkaido, formed by a dam built to intercept volcanic lava. Under sunlight, the pond reflects a striking blue hue, hence its name. Approaching Biei's Blue Pond feels like stepping into a fairyland, with its misty, dreamlike beauty often referred to as Japan's "Little Jiuzhaigou." At dawn, the water appears even more pristine and azure, creating a breathtaking sight. The pond gained international fame after being photographed by National Geographic photographer Kent Shiraishi, with the image later acquired by Apple and used as one of the default wallpapers for MAC computers. The water contains rich minerals and volcanic ash sediments, causing the pond to display varying shades of blue under sunlight as environmental conditions subtly change. You never know what mesmerizing appearance it will reveal next, making every visit an exciting experience.

▲ From April 20 to October 31, 2025, tours to Panoramic Flower Gardens Shikisai-no-oka will operate every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. The gardens feature vast, beautiful flower fields spanning 15 hectares, resembling a colorful rainbow carpet that changes with the seasons. From late May to late October each year, over 30 varieties of flowers including tulips, lavender, and sunflowers bloom across the rolling hills, creating a vibrant palette of colors that looks like an artist's paintbrush strokes from afar. The fields are also home to adorable giant scarecrows standing tall among the blossoms. Additionally, visitors can meet and feed several resident alpacas at the gardens.

▲ One of Japan's oldest flower fields, this expansive rural farm has evolved from its original focus on lavender to now feature over 150 varieties of flowers. The lavender season typically begins in June, while the winter greenhouse opens in mid-August, showcasing lavender, geraniums, and other colorful plants. Beyond lavender, the farm cultivates various other flower species—crocuses bloom from mid-April, followed by daffodils and tulips in May. From the top of the flower fields, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Furano Basin and the Tokachi Mountain Range while surrounded by fragrant lavender meadows.

▲ Furano's Ningle Terrace is a forest handicraft workshop inspired by a character (specifically a 15cm tall forest-dwelling elf) from a novel by Japanese author Sō Kuramoto. The small wooden cabins here serve as unique shops selling distinctive handmade items, such as glass crafts, paper crafts, hand-painted artworks, and lavender-based crafts made from Furano's dried flowers. Each shop is small yet exquisite, and all products are exclusively available here with no duplicates elsewhere.
