Although it's more of a small exhibit than a traditional factory tour, there's still quite a bit to see and do here. The cheese shop offer a variety of delicious dairy snacks and souvenirs. I especially enjoyed the small cheese cake and ice cream that I bought, both were delicious. There are also some cheeses available for tasting, and it’s self service. I didn't have a chance to try the pizza though, it looked and smelled amazing. The factory also offers great photo spots, so it's perfect for capturing memories of your visit. One of the fun things for me was the interactive machine where you can play a fun Q&A game about cheese - it was both educational and entertaining. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my short visit here.

2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣0️⃣7️⃣3️⃣1️⃣ Interesting seeing cheese making Japanese style. Somehow everything about them is always a little creative ... a little innovative and in this case much more tastier :) I love them cheesecake. Small enough as snacks but very easy to over indulge. Word of advice though, best to eat them there. It tastes much much better having it there. Bought some with me, perhaps the temperature change during my journey mess up a bit on the taste. Keep it chill as much as possible. Else it'll become soggy and that's not yummy anymore. Appreciate if you leave a LIKE if you find my comment useful. Thank you for your support.

Our day trip to Biei had us stopping in the town to Furano first to visit the cheese factory. Thankfully it was free to enter as there was no active production to be seen, similar to many other manufacturing companies in Hokkaido. It’s a walk through, display reading kind of place. There was however, hands-on classes available for purchase which was some type of cooking class. The gift shop offered free samples of 3 different types of cheese and sold a wide array of dairy-related retail. We purchased their delish fresh milk (served in an old school glass bottle), super soft pull apart bread and an out of this world mini cheesecake tart. There’s also a pizza restaurant and gelato shop on the grounds. OVERALL: Quite far from Sapporo, so squeeze it into your day if you’re on your way to the town of Biei. OMG, that rhyme was not intentional!

It‘s a cute museum of the history of Furano Cheese and a Pizza restaurant that makes Pizzas with their cheese. Overall it‘s not that exciting though. We walked there and so it didn’t exactly feel like a great payoff for the long walk😅 The Pizza was good, but over priced. We got the „Furano cheese special“ for 1950¥. The pizza was fine but a bit boring due to the lack of ingredients except for cheese. And it’s not huge either so we didn’t see why it was so expensive. Recommendation: Try the cheesecake. In the shop on the second floor where they sell soft cream and other gifts, they also sell small cheesecakes for 180¥ per piece. I was sceptical, but then pleasantly surprised - it was really good! So this place is nice to stop by and check out, but not really something to dedicate a whole afternoon to😅

We were expecting much more from the cheese factory, there is really nothing to see unless you do a hands on workshop, we arrived at 3pm so missed out on that. We thought we had gone the wrong way as we ended up in the shop after about 1 minute, but that was the end of the exhibit, there is literally only a couple of windows which don’t show much and there is no English translation. In the shop you can sample 3 cheeses, there is no cost for this or for entry. On the site is also a pizza restaurant and ice cream shop. However outside The complex is quite peaceful and we spent around 45mins here enjoying the ice cream and the scenery.
