Morning light slices across Hokkaido’s countryside as the coach peels away from Sapporo Station and the road begins to climb—first the Roller Coaster Road, where hills rise and fall like a breath, then wide fields that stretch toward distant, snow-pinned peaks.

Wildlife
History
The Blue Pond was shaped during river-control projects after volcanic activity in the region; its striking color results from suspended minerals interacting with light. Furano’s flower farms developed as diversified agriculture combined with tourism, especially after mid-20th-century agricultural expansion.
Conservation
Stay on designated paths to protect fragile flower beds and boggy pond margins; local businesses promote low-impact tourism—avoid picking flowers and dispose of litter in town facilities.
