Goro's Stone House and First House
Relive the story of a legendary drama amid Furano's rustic beauty
Discover the hand-built stone house of Kuroita Goro from the iconic TV drama "Kita no Kuni kara" (From the Northern Country), set against Furano's stunning natural landscapes.
Under the clear blue sky, the striking stone house with its red roof and slowly turning windmill comes into view. Stepping inside, you are embraced by the cool texture of the stones and the soft touch of well-worn wooden furniture. The interior remains exactly as it was, featuring the stone bathtub heated by firewood and the fireplace built by Goro. The nostalgic scent of wood lingers in the air. Amidst the deep green silence outside the window, you can almost sense the warmth of the family who once lived here.
The spacious grounds also feature a reconstruction of the "First House," where the family first settled after moving from Tokyo. Climbing to the second-floor attic where the young children once slept, you will feel the depth of a story that has spanned over 40 years since the drama first aired. These homes, built entirely from natural materials, vividly reveal a powerful and primal way of life that we in the modern world have begun to forget.
