tomamu-16There are some terraces for viewers called ‘Unkai Terrace’ where you can access easily by cablecar.

The big problem is that you need some luck for viewing Unkai. Because there is less than 49% for occurring Unkai. Also, if a scale of wind is high, cablecar is not operated.

Tomamu resort is located in the south of Minami Furano town. It takes about 2 hours from Sapporo by car with Hokkaido Expressway and 3 hours with No Expressway.

When you visit to Furano for lavender gardens, you might have a plan to visit to Tomamu.
