For those seeking adventure without venturing too far, Furano offers a range of trails suitable for beginners. We highly recommend Nakafurano Forest Park and Torinuma Park for family-friendly hikes.
The relatively flat landscape of both parks provides a memorable and accessible experience where visitors can explore lush forests, streams, waterfalls, and breathtaking scenic views. Additionally, the Shirogane Blue Pond and the Shirahige Waterfall are must-see Furano landmarks that are relatively accessible by vehicle.

As for moderate and advanced hikers, there is no better place to explore than Daisetsuzan National Park. With trails ranging from 5 to 20 kilometers, Daisetsuzan National Park will undoubtedly require some experience and preparation.
Other noteworthy options include Mount Furano, Tokachidake Mountain Range, Furano Traverse Trail, and Mt. Ashibetsu. These advanced trails offer thrilling opportunities to explore the region’s diverse landscapes and test your hiking skills amidst Hokkaido’s natural beauty.
