    Review from our guests on 17th January, 2020

    A group of 5 of us went on the farm tour yesterday. The farm is not too far from Furano town, and is very picturesque, great for photos. If you want to meet a local farming family, or you are interested in where your food comes from, you will enjoy this. Fascinating to see how cabbages are stored in the snow for winter. We opted for outside picnic in the snow, wear warm clothes! but it was unique experience. We also did beeswax candle making back at home base, which was great fun and tasted honey. Our guide was charming, and was able to interpret for us as we were all English speaking. If you need a break from skiing, or a non skier, you will be well looked after on this small and personal tour. Cathy
