Highlights

The cheese soft serve is a must-try, described as creamy, mildly sweet, and not too heavy, perfect for enjoying while looking out at the snowy landscape in winter.

You can try your hand at making ice cream, butter, or cheese in hands-on workshops, though these can be fully booked.

The factory offers free samples of two kinds of cheese, and the pizzas, made with local Furano cheese, are served hot and fresh.
