Hokkaido Official Tourism Site HOKKAIDO LOVE!

Located in the forest of the New Furano Prince Hotel, Ningle Terrace is a popular spot where you can enjoy shopping amid nature. The Terrace is believed to have been the birth home of mythical folklore creatures native to the Hokkaido region, known as “little people”. Today, Ningle Terrace welcomes visitors to its 15 log cabins where original handcrafted goods are sold. It’s a great place for souvenir shopping!

When walking deep into the forest, there is a coffee shop called The Forest’s Clock, which appeared in an episode of the popular TV series ”Yasashii Jikan” in 2005. As in the series, travelers can pick their own coffee beans to grind. You’ll see many fans of the show coming here. The coffee shop smells heavily of coffee and customers can enjoy their cup of joe with a delicious slice of cake.

Also, the woods are just magical! Even those who might not be familiar with the TV series can immerse themselves in the story by visiting the site. The green scenery in the summer and powdery landscape in the winter are soothing and beautiful.

LeTAO is known for its delicious cheesecakes, but in Chitose, you can indulge in the ultimate airy-melty pancakes (and more) at café and shop Doremo LeTAO.

These famous pancakes are exclusive to this Chitose location. In addition to plain pancakes, customers can also opt for strawberry or tiramisu flavors. And of course, those treats make quite the Instagram post! Their incredible smoothness makes these a perfectly hearty lunch. Other menu items include beef stroganoff and pasta.

There’s one more point of interest you might want to check out at Doremo LeTAO: its spacious dining room and large windows. Look onto a beautiful landscape that you can only see in Hokkaido.

Have a cup of coffee or lunch at the company of a variety of wild birds chirping outside the window at The Bird Watching Cafe in Chitose! The cafe welcomes you with a display of photographs, making you feel as if you’ve just entered a gallery. The large window facing the forest outside allows you to gaze at the open sky as small birds come to rest on the tree branches nearby. You can usually see the Long-tailed Tit, famous for its cute looks.

For those who are more serious about bird-watching and photography, the Photo Cafe space is available for you to take photographs up-close while staying camouflaged.

It’s a place where you can witness wildlife at a close distance while maintaining peace with nature.
