Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Like other reviewers have said, this is really just a cheese shop. But how can you justify missing this place while you're in the area? And it's really quite fun to browse the products, sample the cheeses and buy the cute little glass bottles of fresh milk. The cheeses here all must be refrigerated though, so if you intend to buy anything back, bring your own cooler bag and ice packs. (They charge for that.)
I went for the ice-cream and cheese-making classes, which were simple and quite fun to try. (You don't need to know Japanese to understand the instructions.)
There is also a pizzeria which has huge glass windows looking out to trees, which is a very pretty scene.
The first day I went to the cheese factory, there was no cheese-making demonstration - the window just showed some balls of onion cheese soaking in a salt solution - but the second day I went, a cheese maker was kneading balls of mozzarella cheese out of what looked like loose curds. That was interesting.
There is also a model of a cow which you could really milk for 1 min and 30 seconds if you inserted a 100 yen coin into the slot. It will even moo loudly when you insert the coin. Great fun for kids.

From cookies, to fondue, squid ink cheese, tarts, milk and more. If you are a cheese lover, this is likely an attraction.

Aside from the cheese tasting, there’s nothing much here. Quiet place with not many visitors. The cheese and milk ice-cream was only average. They do sell food like pizzas and coffee here. And the location is quite out of the way. Took a cab from furano marche which takes about less than ten min to get here. To get out, you have to ask the staff to help to call for a cab as it is pretty deserted with not much traffic. Staff was friendly and helpful though.

Easily accessible location, good parking. 4 things to see, eat and do. Cheese factory, dairy activities... make butter, ice cream etc, pizza restaurant and ice cream shop and production.
Cheeses were great, great variety of produce to buy and eat or send.
Pizza restaurant appealed but had 45 minute wait and no seating so we just had an icecream... great sherbet and was nice and tasty. Thanks

The cheese factory is worth the visit if you sign up for the cheese making or ice cream making classes(fixed timings), otherwise, you will only need 15mins to tour the place and end up on the 2nd floor in a store that sells the various type of furano cheese. The black squid ink cheese is really good!
There is also a pizza store connected to the place with a wood fired oven, very good stuff!

Place is on our to have fun and buy cheese products.
My wife had a chance to attend the butter and cheese workshop, instructions with sketches were written in few languages, one of them was English.
It is fun to learn something new.
Had a chance to buy cheese cake + snacks.
Place is recommended if you wanna join the workshop.

You may see how the cheese is process through the window.
But after that it's just purely SHOP. free tasting are available.
I love cheese~~
Beside the cheese centre is pizza shop and ice cream shop.
Pizza shop is crowded and the waiting time is 1 hour.
So we decided not to try.
But we try tried ice cream, the berry ice cream, cheese ice cream and the milk ice cream is very nice, not too sweet also.

We had just an hour to spare at the place, so we decided to attend the ice cream workshop in the morning. A group of 4 is needed to sign up.
The class took about half an hour. We learned how to make ice cream and waffle. Very easy to prepare. A good basic to make one of your own taste at home. Worth a try.

My wife and I were there last week and the place is certainly nice enough, however, there were not that much going on. The factory was pretty dead. The activity was on the second floor...as thats where the shop was. They had some cheese sampling for the curious ones. Other than that there were a chance to purchase some milk, cheese and other assorted snacks. There was also a little shack that sells ice-cream. The ice-cream there was pretty good but nothing to write home about. Over all, if you are at Furano and the flowers were not blooming then its worth a little visit...probably spend 30 mins there, tops.

I note from its official website that it has - I'm planning a visit there. Parking is available for 120 cars.

I walked. - on a decent day it's a very pleasant 2 miles or so through farmland. I think there is a bus. It'd be a not too expensive taxi ride.
