The City of Furano !

by Kazu

Above was the facade of the famous and popular curry restaurant "Yuigadokuson"in Furano City. Many tourists were waiting for their turn in front of the facade. The restaurant may be one of the best choice for lunch and dinner in Furano City. 

The wide space for several lines of railway showed Furano Station had been a hub of the railway. Even now, the railways from Asahikawa City and Takikawa City connect some cities and towns to carry the people and commodities. 

This is Hotel La Vista Furano we stayed on that day. The hot spring spa is on the highest floor. I saw the southern end of the railways that had been connected the city with Kushiro City and Nemuro City decades ago. The abolished railway was forgotten and the premises of the railways were used for other purpose.  

 

Yuigadokuson Curry Restaurant in Furano !

On the west side of Furano City, we could see Mt. Ashibetsu-dake and Mt. Yuubari-dake topped with white snow crown. Mt-Furano-dake, Mt. Tokachi-dake and Mt. Biei-dake are on the east side of the city. Furano Skiing Hill also could be seen clearly from the Hotel La Vista Furano. 

Our dinner on that day was curry rice provided by the famous and popular local curry restaurant "Yuigadokuson 唯我独尊" which meant "I am my own load throughout heaven and earth." My aunt chose omelet curry, not so considering the capacity of her stomach.

My wife chose the chef's signature "Sausage Curry Rice"and I had pork block curry. All the dishes seemed to use the same curry roux. The rice was yellow such as saffron rice and the sausage was home-made thick one.   

 

Hotel La Vista Furano !

by Kazu

It was the first time for us to use this type of room that had separate room inside, mainly for family, in La Vista Hotel. Two sinks it had in powder room. The hotel was near the train station and the place we had dinner on that day.

Two beds were in the main room and other two in the separate room on the other side of the wall. As the ramen noodle soup supper would be provided after 21:30, we had to adjust the amount of calorie intake at dinner.

The train-view room was so nice for my wife. Furano City is the southern end of the railway from Asahikawa. I saw the end of the railway on the southern part of the station the next morning. We dropped by there on our way to my hometown to Kitami City. 

 

Double Fromage by Furano Delice !

by Kazu

The design of the local confectionery Furano Delice looked so sophisticated and made us so relaxed with the comfy interior and superb delicious cakes. The most popular cheese cake "Double Fromage" my wife chose on that day.                                                                                                                                                                    

The chiffon cake covered and decorated with plenty of cream was topped with strawberry also struck us with its energizing and healing taste. It might be addictive but actually gave us happy time with our beloved.

Last but not least, the roll cake might be a kind of stress relief for us. The reliability to share the happy time  with our family, friends and beloved must be the reason many tourists and the citizens of the city and the adjacent visit there again and again.  

 

Confectionery Furano Delice 2026 !

by Kazu

The old wooden sign of the Confectionery Furano Delice well-established showed the years it had born and lost the original color in front of the shop. Many tourists were selecting their sweets to eat and eating a variety of sweets inside.

Even in winter, many skiers and snowboarders swamp the confectionery. Many staff were struggling to respond to the order of the guests swiftly and receive the payment.

The design of the confectionery had not lost its color and charm to allure the sweets lovers and still provided them with the quality time in the calm circumstances so comfortably.

 

Genghis Khan BBQ Restaurant Shirakaba in Campana !2026 !

by Kazu

We were so impressed and touched by the taste of the mutton, lamb, miso soup and steamed rice in Genghis Khan BBQ restaurant Shirakaba in Compana run by Rokkatei Confectionery on that day. The special sauce also stimulated our appetite so much. 

Many people were waiting for their turn to savor the delicious Genghis Khan BBQ. It was at around half past noon but they did not have to wait for  long time. Watching the landscape of the mountain ridges, it was not bad to kill time beside the vineyard.

The restaurant seemed to be manned amply. The order and serve were conducted so swiftly and efficiently by the skilled female staff. Some people were enjoying pints of beer and side orders other than mutton and lamb. 

 

The Place to Walking Around !

by Kazu

I think you become to eager to walk around this place where the art works and old buildings, cherry trees and silver birch, water flow and chirping birds are creating comfy space under the blue sky. 

On the west side of this area, bamboo grasses covered the hills and some signs of alert to avoid the unexpected encounter with brown bears could be seen here and there.

Many brown bear attacks occurred unfortunately in Hokkaido last year and brown bears have been found after the season of hibernation but many of them seemed to be fat even after the fasting during hibernation. What did they eat in winter and spring. Deer?
