Arriving back in Furano last night was almost like a home coming for us. Kojima san gave us warm welcom at Pension Snow Flake and showed us to our near palacial room followed by a quick tour or the pension. Far exceeding our expectations, pension Snow Flake is spacious, clean, has the cafe next door […]

Okay, I admit it – I’m a doria addict. What is a doria you ask? It’s a baked rice dish popular in Japan. I am lead to believe that it has Italian origins, and if you google ‘doria’ you will find some good recipes. Think Spanish paella, and you will be getting close to what we are […]
If you’re thinking that’s quite a bit to cram into one title for a post, you’d be right. But the simple fact is that former champion Alpine Snowboarder Kojima Hiasyuki has put his heart and soul into the businesses he runs at Furano. In fact when we had the privilege to speak with Kojima san […]
