What other travelers are saying about Furano Cheese Factory
Excellent pizza and a shop where you can buy a lot of dairy produce as well as some wine. Didn’t really experience the factory but cheese-making workshops can be booked. It’s on the edge of Furano and so a car is really needed.
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!
The pizza was exceptional. Their accommodating staff allowed us to dine in during the final ten minutes before closing. The merchandise on the upper floor was also impressive, and the product quality remains noteworthy even after returning to my home country.
This place is abit underwhelming, there wasn’t much to the cheese factory. It seemed old and was only two floor, the top floor being the gift shop and bottom being a corridor with the history of cheese. It was a far drive to get here from Sapporo. The cake and Hokkaido milk were okay, nothin spectacular. My wife and I were hyped at trying Hokkaido milk as we heard it was really creamy, but it kindof taste very similar to full cream milk back home from Sydney Australia.
The positive were the cheese pizza shop, the margherita and cheese pizza were really good, especially with the added honey.
The nature outside of the buildings was nice.
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!
