Furano Green Flag

Agriculture is another main industry besides tourism in Furano.
The amount of snowfall in a year reaches about 8 meters in total. That means Furano has a great natural dam in the mountains. There are springwaters here and there along the mountains. Ainu people found a pond where sweet water fountained and used to live beside it. Furano is rich in water and has comfortable weather from spring to autumn, so it is said almost all sorts of vegetables grown in Hokkaido are able to be grown here in Furano.

This is a scenery of farmland in Nakafurano yesterday. Now asparagus grown outdoors is in season and then people will see sprouts of rice, onion and pretty potato flowers later.
If you would like to eat Furano's farm produce, please find Furano Green Flag in this area.
