What other travelers are saying about Furano Cheese Factory
Small place - I had fun making my own cheese!
Pretty out of the way - you may expect to walk quite a bit if you’re going by public transport. Better if you’re driving!
Also, they have a cafeteria serving pizzas made with their local cheese. Absolutely delicious!
Had a great time at the cheese-making workshop, it was a fun and unique experience. The cheese was fresh and delicious, and we also enjoyed the ice cream and milk, which were rich and creamy. A great place to visit for cheese lovers and families looking for an enjoyable activity in Furano.
Tried some pizzas at the pizza restaurant downstairs, the pizza was decent.
The pizza is so good, we had a Hokkaido 4 cheese pizza and the 3 cheese with bacon, potatoes and onions. We both loved the bacon and potato pizza the most, the potatoes are out of this world and blended well with the cheese and bacon.
There is water provided and they also have a honey syrup that would be perfect for the cheese pizza and chilli oil that is perfect for the crust - we didn't see the honey syrup until we finished so didn't get to try it!
It was such a lovely experience being able to make our own cheese. You can try your hand at making butter or ice cream too. The staff there are friendly and patient. After trying out the workshops, do drop by the pizza restaurant which serves amazingly good margherita pizza using their own cheeses. Don’t forget to stop by their shop for desserts and sweets.
Definitely worth it. You get to learn about the cheese-making process firsthand and even try making your own cheese. It’s a fun and educational experience for all ages. Plus, the factory is located in the beautiful Furano region, known for its stunning landscapes and lavender fields. It’s a great way to spend a day, especially if you enjoy culinary activities and want to try something unique.”
