NINGLE TERRACE (ニングルテラス)| Shopping Road in the Forest | Furano

Ningle (ニングル) is the name of the dwarf that is believed by Ainu people to live in the forests in Hokkaido. Located in the Picnic Garden (ピクニックガーデン) adjacent to the Prince Hotel New Furano (新富良野プリンスホテル), 15 log cabins in the forest are all shops selling various kinds of handicrafts.

Let's go!

Ningle Terrace (ニングルテラス) has been created using natural materials with timber buildings and plank walkways around the waterfalls and trees.

The forest gives off a wonderful scent with pine trees and the waterfall creating a peaceful atmosphere for wandering around or stopping at the cafe.

This is a notice, saying "two Ningle families are living in the forest. Please do not raise your voice, nor stare at Ningles. Please take a side glance of them."

Craft creators sit in each shop, displaying and making their products as you wander around.
I'll show you some of their art works.

■Stump-shaped candles

■Walnut & pine cone ornaments

■Snowman-shaped kaleidoscopes

■Leather crafts

■Peanut shell ornaments

■Snow crystal-shaped accessories

The "Chu Chu House (チュチュの家)", a cafe serves a range of products including......................

hot and cold drinks, apple pies, cakes, and

baked milk!

Let's enter it!

I recommend to come here during the winter time, too!

Voila!
I ordered a a Swiss roll and baked milk set!

Yummy x 2!!

Have you ever tried baked milk?
It is cold sweet milk. The baked part tastes like milk pudding! Amazing, isn't it?

Just for reference, when you come here during the winter time, the scenery changes like this↓

I love this romantic atmosphere!!

I really enjoyed this area from the bottom of my heart!!

Huge Christmas Tree | Sapporo Factory (サッポロファクトリー) | Sapporo

When you come to Sapporo during the Christmas season, I recommend you to go to the Sapporo Factory (サッポロファクトリー), a shopping mall located in downtown Sapporo↓

Look at the Santa Claus on the chimney!!! The building used to be a beer factory. That's why this mall was named the Sapporo Factory.

At night it is lighted up like this!! Wow! Wow! Wow!!

When you come to the Atrium (アトリウム), a facility in the mall, during the day time, the Christmas tree is like this, but when you come here at night.................................

Voila!
My guests from Singapore and I were so excited to take pics and pics!!! Hahaha!

Personally, I recommend to take pics from some different angles.

The color is changed regularly! How wonderful it is!!

 We spend here for a while..................... Very romantic, isn't it???

I love the Sapporo Factory during the Christmas season very much!!!

I also enjoyed ice cream beside the tree as usual! Hahaha!
