North Country Inn - Furano

Furano

January 30th and 31st. We had the pleasure of one of Japan's top rally car driving teams stay with us for a few nights. They were training each night on the snowy roads in nearby mountains. 2 guests and I were lucky enough to be invited out with them during the afternoon and we were passengers while they drove at up to 140km/h around windy roads. Rally Hokkaido Japan is to be held in August this year. If anyone is interest in coming to Furano to see the rally, then please contact us to have the same rally car experience as the pictures show....it could be you!

On the drive up to Ryonkaku area in the Daisetsuzan National Park for some rally driving.

Ryonkaku top car park.... the drivers discussed road conditions.

Adam wanted to make sure he was strapped in tightly.

Sarah was a little nervous before hand...

Adam's driver gave it a little more gas, and came out sideways around the final corner.
