■Furano City, Hokkaido
Furano City is located in a basin surrounded by the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range and the Yubari Mountain Range, and is the
“belly-town” where the Hokkaido Latitude and Latitude Observation Station, which marks the center of Hokkaido, is located.
The climate has four distinct seasons. Because it is a basin, there are large daily and annual temperature variations, with some days dropping below -30℃ in winter and over 30℃ in summer.
The main industries are agriculture and tourism. It is one of Japan’s leading producers of many agricultural products, including onions, carrots, corn, melons, and watermelons. It is also a tourist destination visited by many people from Japan and abroad, with colorful flowers and the Hokkaido Belly Festival in the summer, and Furano Ski Resort with some of the best powder snow in the world in the winter.
It is also an environmentally friendly city that practices thorough garbage separation and recycling under the slogan “Don’t burn it, don’t bury it,” and is working toward the realization of a zero carbon city by 2050.
[Number of households/population] 10,603 households, 19,667 people (as of the end of August 2020)
[Area] 600.71 square kilometers (almost the same as Tokyo’s 23 wards) [Access] Sapporo: Approximately 2 hours, Asahikawa: Approximately 1 hour, Obihiro: Approximately 2 hours
New Chitose Airport: Approximately 2 hours, Asahikawa Airport: Approximately 1 hour
