Sensei Awesome, which is the nickname we have given my daughter’s teacher, invited the parents to come for a day of udon noodle making at school. Kids and their parents were given the opportunity to make hand-made udon noodles and they were fabulous!

In Furano, bike riding is a fantastic way to explore and has a good value at 200 yen per hour. Because Furano has rich and delicious food at many attractions, bike riding is also a good way to sample local delights without adding to your waistline. In Japan, helmets are not compulsory for adults so if you prefer to wear one, bring it along.

Lavender fields in Furano rival those of Provence in the South of France. The Japanese lavender growers in Central Hokkaido are just as creative in presenting new ways to enjoy it.

Furano, located smack-dead in the center of Hokkaido, is probably most famous for its winter ski resorts and its beautiful flower fields (see the Farm Tomita page) open in summer.
