Furano Cheese Factory
Japan’s First Wine-Infused Cheese in the Heart of a White Birch Forest
Discover the unique flavors of Furano at the Furano Cheese Factory, where fresh local milk is transformed into five distinct natural cheeses, including the pioneering red wine-infused "Wine Cheddar."
Surrounded by a serene forest of white birch trees, this factory offers a rare glimpse into the art of cheesemaking. On the first floor, you can look through glass windows into the production and aging rooms. Watching artisans in white uniforms carefully craft cheese from fresh milk provides a true sense of the dedication involved. The gentle aroma of cheese and the sight of rows of wheels waiting in the quiet aging cellar create an immersive atmosphere found only here. From the signature "Wine Cheddar" to a variety of other artisan flavors, there is a discovery for every palate.
The second floor features a hands-on area where you can try milking a life-sized model cow, offering a fun and tactile way to learn. In the shop, you’ll find treats made with the factory's fresh butter, authentic Neapolitan-style pizza, and artisanal gelato. Enjoying a creamy, chilled "Freshly Made Cheese Soft Serve" while surrounded by nature is the perfect way to savor the rich bounty of Furano.
