Furano Cheese Factory — Restaurant in Furano

I hardly give any bad reviews to businesses in Japan, as they are mostly far above the global standard. And this is the first time. First of all, they call the place a cheese factory, we expect we could see how they produce the cheese. In fact, you could only see a man working from the window, that’s it. We even suspect that he is doing it like a performance as the small workshop there is not possible to produce large quantities of cheeses. It’s meant to show to tourists.

One floor up, it’s a retail store. They have a bit of cheese history in Japan on the wall, that’s it. Basically, don’t expect you could learn any new info from this place.

Then, it’s an ice cream store and a pizza shop. We ordered the onion pizza and it was far below average, not even in the Japan standard. We had a pizza a day before at a hotel and it was far bettter than this. The onions didn’t taste much, and most importantly, you can’t taste much of the cheese, it was like a piece of bread that’s it, that bad.

The environment was great and it’s surrounded by trees and green. But they should name it as a pizza and cheese shops, instead of a factory. Their intention is to sell you stuffs, don’t expect you could know any...

Visited the Furano Cheese Factory which also includes an ice cream shop and a pizza kitchen. We even saw classrooms where students were learning how to make waffles and other desserts, which added a nice, hands-on vibe to the place.

The most eye-catching item was the asparagus ice cream. It felt a little too adventurous for me, so I gave it a pass and tried other flavors instead. The ice cream was light, not too sweet, and really let the fresh milk flavor shine.

Important heads-up: both the ice cream and pizza shops only accept cash. We were already running low on Japanese yen, so we ended up skipping the pizza despite being completely tempted by the amazing smell. Unfortunately, we had already bought the ice cream first. And since both of us are more into savory food, that was a bit of a regret. Lesson learned.

Inside the main hall, there was a cheese tasting station where we sampled all the different cheeses on sale. We bought the one we liked most right after.

Overall, it’s a chill and family-friendly stop with fresh milk, light desserts, great-smelling pizza and a fun little cheese lesson. Just remember to bring cash if you plan to indulge...

Very delicious. I love Ice cream and pizza too much.

From JR Furano Station, you can take a taxi directly to the cheese workshop. Taxi drove quickly and arrived in more than 10 minutes. There are not many people on the road here in Furano, and the speed is very fast. Of course, the price of taxis is also very high.

It was raining when we arrived, but the sun came out soon after. I like the design of this house very much. The exterior is not so dazzling, but the small rooms and passages inside are very sensible. Debi is the design of the triangular roof on the second floor, which is so beautiful when the sun shines in.

There is a pizza restaurant on the first floor, and the fragrance is overflowing before the door. Buy it from the self-service machine at the door, and then give it to the waiter after entering.

The entire baking process is fully transparent. The second floor sells milk, specialty products, souvenirs, etc.

Go out through the aisle on the first floor, walk through a small forest, cross a small bridge, and you will reach another small room with a very foreign style. It's all ice cream Come to Hokkaido, you can't stop eating and...
