[New Furano Prince Hotel] Step Into the Drama the Moment You Play: Street Piano Used in the TV Series 'Kaze no Garden' Appears at the Filming Site

New Furano Prince Hotel (Location: Nakagoryo, Furano, Hokkaido; General Manager: Yuji Iga) will set up a street piano that anyone can play freely at the 'Kaze no Garden' on the hotel grounds from Wednesday, July 1 to Monday (holiday), October 12, 2026.

'Kaze no Garden' was the filming location for the TV drama of the same name, written by screenwriter Soh Kuramoto and broadcast on the Fuji TV network in 2008. Over 450 species and approximately 20,000 flowers bloom here seasonally. It is one of the eight beautiful gardens that make up the 'Hokkaido Garden Path' scattered across the Asahikawa, Furano, and Tokachi areas, and is a popular spot for domestic and international tourists.

The street piano to be used in this project is the actual piano used in the drama 'Kaze no Garden.' By playing the piano set up in the 'Green House,' the drama's main setting, visitors can feel as if they have stepped right into the world of the story.

Furthermore, a special event titled 'Kaze no Garden Music Festival: Garden of Sound' is scheduled during the period. On Tuesday, July 14, and Wednesday, July 15, 2026, a concert will be held by Azusa Fujii, a pianist based in Sapporo. On Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19, 2026, a concert by Fumi, a Sapporo-based pianist and influencer, is also planned.

New Furano Prince Hotel aims to provide guests with a 'joy of travel that remains in the memory' by offering this special experience of playing a piano actually used in a drama amidst the grand nature of Furano and the uniquely beautiful location of 'Kaze no Garden.'
