Ningle Terrace
The Dwarf Chalet is situated near the New Furano Prince Hotel in Nakagoryo, Furano. The wooden cabins are constructed in the forest and linked by the wooden corridor bridge. There is also a connection of small lights that decorate the cabins. There are a diversity of small crafts in the cabins, which are very delicate. Don't be too explicit when you look inside. Try to see through the corner of your eyes. That big stump is the spot where the legendary second generation of dwarfs lived in. There are passages and wooden bridges of the dwarfs build next to it, and coats of dwarfs were basked, which was very cute.Furano · 10.7 km from Nakafurano
Farm Tomita
The core scenic spot of Furano Lavender is famous for its horticultural landscape that combines wavy colored flower fields and different varieties of lavender fields. At the entrance of the farm, there are Furano specialty melons, honey pudding, lavender pudding, melon-flavored ice cream and lavender-flavored ice cream. For sale, there are also long tables and chairs for resting and eating. In addition, there is a gift shop on the farm that sells Furano specialty products made from lavender, such as dried lavender flowers, essential oils, perfumes, cosmetics, and incense pillows. The flowering period of lavender is from July to early August, and the farm will plant other varieties of ornamental plants during the period outside the lavender flowering period. In addition, the East Tomita Farm (ラベンダーイースト) operated by Tomita Farm in Kamifurano Town is also worth visiting.Nakafurano · 1.4 km from downtown
Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike)
Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) is an artificial pond created after the eruption of Mount Tokachi, when a dam was built on the Biei River to prevent volcanic mudflow disasters, resulting in the accidental accumulation of water. The trunks of larch and birch trees, which died from long-term submersion, stand in the pond, and the blue-green water reflects the dead trees and the forest. The blue color here is not artificial. After the aluminum-rich spring water from the upstream Shirogane Onsen flows into the Biei River, it mixes with the river water to form invisible colloidal particles. These particles strongly scatter the blue light from the sun, while the white volcanic soil at the bottom of the pond makes the blue appear even more vivid. The blueness of the pond water changes with the weather, time of day, and season. You can take photos from different angles while walking along the trail by the pond. This pond is also widely known for a photograph: a work by photographer Kent Shiraishi featuring the first snow here won an award in the National Geographic Photo Contest and was subsequently selected by Apple as one of the built-in wallpapers for its computer operating system. Every winter, the pond surface freezes and is covered in snow. After nightfall, lights illuminate the dead trees and the ice, presenting a tranquil scene that is completely different from the daytime.Biei · 18.1 km from Nakafurano
Shirahige Waterfall
Shirahige Waterfall is a groundwater-fed waterfall on the upper reaches of the Biei River. Groundwater from theMount Tokachimountain range seeps into the ground and emerges from rock crevices halfway up the canyon cliff, cascading down the cliff face in dozens of thin streams. From a distance, it resembles a hanging white beard, which is how it got its name. The ideal viewing spot is the observation deck on the bridge spanning the Biei River. Looking over the railing, the white streams and the blue-green river below are captured in the same frame, creating an iconic composition for this view. Rich in minerals, this section of the river scatters sunlight to create a translucent blue color as it flows toward the hot spring area downstream. The waterfall has different highlights throughout the four seasons: in summer, the mountains are lush and green, making the blue-green river stand out; in fall, the forest is ablaze with color; in winter, the cliffs are covered in snow, creating a striking contrast between the white snow and the blue river. Located adjacent to the hot spring town, it offers visitors a unique natural viewing and photography experience.Biei · 18.9 km from Nakafurano

When the weather is good, the snow-capped mountains behind the Shirahige Falls will be even more beautiful. I didn’t expect that I was so lucky this time. I encountered a sunny day with super good visibility. I saw this epic beauty with my own eyes! The Shirahige Falls itself is very beautiful🥹. Coupled with the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance🥰, it is really one of the most unforgettable moments of this trip to Hokkaido.

Hinode Park is a hilly area. From the top of the mountain, you can see the urban buildings of Kamifurano Town. Behind the hill is a camping site where many Japanese people set up tents to spend the night. I feel that the whole park is not very attractive.

Kamifurano is also a very fun place to travel. This unique small town in Hokkaido has a layered design and is not very large. You can see many colorful lavender planting areas and many fun things here.

Hokuseiyama Town Lavender Farm is next to Nakafurano Station. The order from south to north is roughly Furano-Nakafurano-Kamifurano-Biei. Nakafurano is closer to the mountains and has more undulating terrain. The lavender farm is on the hillside of Hokuseiyama. In addition to taking photos, most tourists will consider taking a cable car up the mountain to overlook the farm, which is also the difference here.

Takushinkan seems to be an art museum. I went there for so long that I don't remember it very well! The scenery nearby is really beautiful. If you are interested, you can go and see it yourself. I think I had to take off my shoes when I went in to see the paintings.
