Fresh Cheese in Hokkaido

The Furano Cheese Factory in Hokkaido is dedicated to creating fresh cheese and dairy produce using milk sourced from local farmers in Hokkaido. The factory is designed to let visitors look through various parts of the cheese making process from start to finish. Hokkaido is known as one of Japan's best areas for fresh milk and produce, and the cheeses are often regraded as the best of Japan. The factory lets tourists learn about the process to making cheese through workshops and watching experts work. In addition to cheese, there are workshops to learn how to make bread, ice cream, and butter. The factory serves more than just cheese, boasting a ice cream parlor with fresh made ice cream and pizzeria that uses the cheese made in the factory. Guests can also sample cheese, so don't fill too much at the ice cream parlor. All of the food at the cheese factory is locally sourced for the ultimate fresh flavor experience.
