CAFE NORA
This is a traditional Japanese building built 70 years ago. It locates in a rural area surrounded on two sides by Tokachi and Yubari mountain range. You can enjoy a quiet view from the window. But it is only 1500 meters from Furano station, very convenient.
In the gallery, a lot of ceramic works created by Yasutaka Otsuki are on display. In the cafe, you can have lunch and sweets, drinks with his original dishes and cups. Vegetables used in the menu are homegrown or neighbor farmers'. Each menu is limited to 10 a day.
It is a small cafe, so maximum of 4 people per a group are available. We are not allowing in groups 5 people or more, sorry.
We accept all major credit cards.
