[Senbo Pass in Kamifurano] Furano Basin and Tokachidake Mountain Range Are Beautiful View

Senbo Pass

Senbo Pass (千望峠) is a pass along Hokkaido Road 581 in Kamifurano town located in the southeastern direction of Asahikawa city. A parking park is built at about 330 m above sea level, and is surrounded by fields. There is not a lavender field, But Senbo Pass Parking Park (千望峠駐車公園) is a little-known viewing spot that is a little away from a national route, and here is a starting point and a goal of Senbo-toge Foot Path with 10 km in total length. There are a gazebo, a parking lot and a restroom on the site. Admission free. The parking lot is free of charge. It is closed in a winter.

The distance is around 5 km away from the center of the Kamifurano, and restraunts, cafes and convenience stores are not built near here. By the way, speaking of the tasty restraunts in the Kamifurano, Mansaku (まん作) and Barbecue Restaurant "Hide" (焼肉秀) are popular in particular. I ate buckwheat noodles at the Mansaku, and those were tasty.

Mansaku

Mansaku (まん作) is a famous buckwheat noodles restraunt in Kamifurano town located in the southern direction of Asahikawa city. There is a building near the Miharashidai park (見晴台公園). It was founded in 2004. They garnered one star in MICHELIN GUIDE Hokkaido 2012 Special Edition and became more popular. Read More

Express Bus "Furano-go" (高速ふらの号) runs between Sapporo and the Furano, and Express Bus "Lavender-go" (ラベンダー号) runs between Asahikawa and the Furano. In addition, North Liner, an express bus, is in service between the Asahikawa and Obihiro, and stop in the Furano or Biei, too, so people can move more rapidly than common transportation facilities. In the Furano and Biei, some rent-a-car companies open a business, so tourists can drive a rental car.

Blog Writer:good! hokkaido!

I am from Nayoro, and used to live in Kushiro and Sapporo, and have been back Hokkaido after I lived in Kanagawa prefecture for 14 years again. Around 50-year-Japanese old boy mainly have released articles that I found nature, tourist attractions, onsen and foods in the Hokkaido to the non-Hokkaido people. I am bad English, so I apologize if you do not understand the meaning. Using photos are my photos, free images, various tourism associations’ photos and photos cited from official websites and so on. Reproduction of my photos and texts from within this site is prohibited.As for my photos, I used to provide those for profit, but I stop providing the photos now. Most of youtube movies belong to others, and I just share those on my blog.
