What other travelers are saying about Furano Cheese Factory

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!

Had a great time at the cheese-making workshop, it was a fun and unique experience. The cheese was fresh and delicious, and we also enjoyed the ice cream and milk, which were rich and creamy. A great place to visit for cheese lovers and families looking for an enjoyable activity in Furano. Tried some pizzas at the pizza restaurant downstairs, the pizza was decent.

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.

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!

Definitely worth it. You get to learn about the cheese-making process firsthand and even try making your own cheese. It’s a fun and educational experience for all ages. Plus, the factory is located in the beautiful Furano region, known for its stunning landscapes and lavender fields. It’s a great way to spend a day, especially if you enjoy culinary activities and want to try something unique.”
