What to do in Furano if not skiing?
We spent 3 days in Furano, Hokkaido during our 3-week Japan trip in June 🇯🇵 — and it was the peaceful countryside escape we didn’t know we needed.
In this cinematic Japan travel vlog, we share our 2 nights, 3 days Furano itinerary, including how we flew from Tokyo to Sapporo, rented a car, and drove through rural Hokkaido as foreigners for the first time. If you’re thinking about driving in Japan with an International Driving Permit (IDP) from the United States, we break down the exact process and important Japanese road rules to know before you go.
We explored some of the most scenic spots in central Hokkaido:
🌸 Hinode Park
💜 Farm Tomita (lavender fields & lavender soft serve!)
🌈 Shikisai no Oka + alpaca farm
💧 Shirogane Blue Pond
🌊 Shirahige Falls
🌲 Ningle Terrace
⛩️ Furano Shrine
