"At ", visitors can try their hand at making butter, ice cream, and mascarpone cheese (reservations required; same-day participation possible if seats are available). This experience is popular among families with children, as it is unique to Hokkaido, which is known for its dairy farming.

Yanase Takashi's store Anpanman Shop Furano



"The Furano Jam Garden "is located on the grounds of a handmade jam studio called "Yanase Takashi's Anpanman Shop Furano ". In front of the store are many stone statues of Anpanman, Baikinman, and other Anpanman friends, making it a popular photo spot.

The reason why Furano City's jam specialty store has an Anpanman store is because the current president of Jam Kobo and Mr. Takashi Yanase, the author of Anpanman, were friends. Jam Kobo's direct sales store is called "Aunt Jam's Jam Kobo ", and the relationship began when he contacted Mr. Yanase to ask him to draw the character of Aunt Jam "" . The current president's energy is surprising.



The store is crammed from one end to the other with Anpanman goods! Rare goods that are not easily found in toy stores or shopping malls are also available for sale. On the second floor, rare original drawings by Mr. Yanase are on display for adults to enjoy as well.

Please note that only cash is accepted, so please be careful if you want to purchase a lot of goods.
