Furano, June 2026: Known for its breathtaking natural landscapes, including rolling hills awash with blooming lavender and the ever-changing face of the active volcano Tokachi-dake, Furano offers majestic scenery where endless skies meet vast expanses of land—inviting visitors to fully experience the grandeur of Hokkaido. Nozo Hotel has announced a series of activities designed for guests to fully enjoy summer in Furano during their stay.

1. Discovering Furano at Night: Night Watching Tour

As dusk falls, Furano's nature reveals a completely different character from daytime. On the Night Watching Tour, guests board a bus and travel to prime stargazing spots while searching for nocturnal wildlife. Gazing up at a sky filled with countless stars, accompanied by expert commentary, will surely become one of the highlights of your journey—perfect for families to share.

2. Rafting on the Asahikawa River—Fun for All Ages, Starting from Age 1

Gently drifting down the Asahikawa River, surrounded by lush summer greenery, this rafting experience is a rare tour in Hokkaido that welcomes children as young as one year old, making it highly popular among families with infants and young kids. The scenery viewed from the river's surface is exceptional. Along the way, guides provide insights into local flora and fauna, river formation, and the geological features created by rocks and boulders—adding educational value to the fun. Guests can dangle their feet in the water or even swim in the river, making this an ideal 'first adventure' for children to connect with nature.

3. Fishing Experience in a Pristine Stream

The clear streams around Furano are home to a variety of fish, including rainbow trout, yamame, and cherry salmon. While waiting quietly by the riverbank, children can develop observational skills, focus, and patience as they tune into the rhythms of nature. No prior preparation is needed—guests can join hands-free. With experienced guides providing full support, even first-time anglers can安心 (feel at ease) and fully immerse themselves in the thrill of encountering fish in the wild.

4. Cool Down at Nozo Hotel After a Day in Nature

After a day of exploring the great outdoors, every family needs a comfortable, relaxing place to unwind.
