North Country Inn - Furano Furano
Back      

Today is the first day of Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) in Furano. The mountains are instantly glowing in colour. Sadly rain is forecast for this afternoon and again on Sunday which could dampen the Sakura season. With snow still on the mountains, it's a beautiful transition period between Winter and Summer.

Furano ski area; only the peaks are now covered in snow.

The fields around us are sprouting

The first Sakura of the season in Asahigaoka Park

What a shame this beauty doesn't last longer

The front garden at North Country, previosly where our Winter BBQ tent was located. Doesn't it look beautiful.

The farm land next to us.......I wonder what the farmer planted this year?
