Kamifurano Eight Views Private Car Charter Itinerary: Romantic Flower Seas and Senses-Shocking Natural Wonders
Hinode Park: The Romantic Highest Observation Point of Lavender
Hinode Park: One of the Furano Eight Views, “Hinode Park” is located in the suburbs of Kamifurano Town. It is also the very first park possessing vast lavender flower fields in Japan.
Every July and August forms the season when lavender blooms fully. You can walk up onto the observatory to view the endless lavender flower sea. Furthermore, the park emitting a romantic atmosphere will even open for the public to hold weddings during the flower season. The park area also features camping grounds with multiple children’s facilities to play with.
Flower Land Kamifurano: A Vibrant Canvas Beneath Mt. Tokachi
Flower Land Kamifurano: One of the popular flower viewing attractions. From May to September every year, the fresh flowers cultivated by Flower Land will bloom fully one after another. You can ride the lavender tractor to shuttle through the garden, appreciating the beautiful scenery beneath Mt. Tokachi.
The park grounds also feature retail shops, observatories, restaurants, and experience workshops. This type of attraction is highly suitable for family guests. A car charter can help you easily store purchased souvenirs.
Rollercoaster Road
Because Sou Kuramoto’s Japanese television drama “Yasashii Jikan” (Affectionate Time) also filmed scenes here, it consequently made this 2.5km-long, undulating straight road become a popular local attraction.
Sitting inside the vehicle traveling from gentle slopes to diving and then rising sharply feels exactly like riding a rollercoaster. When reaching higher points, you can view a pastoral landscape and can look far out at the Tokachidake mountain range. The driver of the Kamifurano Eight Views private car charter itinerary will slow down or park at the best positions, allowing passengers to safely capture the most shocking perspective of this road.
Fukiage Open-Air Onsen: A Wild River Experience Encircled by Grand Nature
This is a free open-air bath located on Mt. Tokachi. The natural fountain source water coupled with being surrounded by the green trees of nature on all sides forms an absolutely must-not-miss hot spring soaking experience.
Because Fukiage Open-Air Onsen is a mixed-gender bath and possesses no changing rooms, featuring only simple toilets, we therefore recommend everyone to bring swimwear and towels to come here. It is situated deep within mountain areas. Reaching it directly via a car charter can save you from the trouble of mountain road navigation.
Yumoto Ryounkaku (Tokachidake Onsen Village)
Yumoto Ryounkaku（湯元 凌雲閣）, located within the Tokachidake Onsen Village, is a Japanese-style ryokan. The guest rooms are designed in traditional Japanese style, featuring open-air baths where you can also admire the magnificent mountain scenery of Mt. Tokachi. If you love soaking in hot springs, you can choose to stay overnight here.
Deep Exploration of Kamifurano: Cultural and Artistic Attractions
The above are the main attractions of Kamifurano Town. Furthermore, the Soil Museum (土の館 Farming Tools and Tractor Museum) and the Goto Sumio Museum of Art are also places well worth going to visit. If you possess interest in agricultural culture or Japanese art, you can include these two intellectual strongholds inside your car charter itinerary.

Why Choose a Hokkaido Private Car Charter to Tour the Kamifurano Eight Views?
Because Furano is very large, it can be divided into Kamifurano Town introduced in this article. Additionally, there are also Furano City, Nakafurano Town, and Minamifurano Town.
Kamifurano’s main characteristic lies in its “elevation differences,” such as the famous “Rollercoaster Road” and the high-altitude “Tokachidake Onsen.” There is a lack of public transportation between point and point.
Through a Hokkaido private car charter, you can flexibly adjust your length of stay. There is no need to wait for public buses with extremely rare schedules under the blazing sun or freezing wind.
