(0)
Torinuma Park is a peaceful natural retreat centered around a calm lake surrounded by lush green forests. Known for its reflective waters, birdlife, and quiet walking paths, the park is a perfect place for visitors looking to unwind and enjoy Furano’s natural beauty. It’s especially scenic during early summer and autumn.

What to See & Do

  • 💧 Explore the crystal-clear pond which remains mysterious for never freezing, even when Furano temperatures drop to -20°C ❄️ ✨
  • 🛶 Enjoy a complimentary 15-minute paddleboat ride to see aquatic life through the mirror-like surface of the shallow lake 🚣 🌊
  • 🦅 Spot local wildlife including playful squirrels and various bird species like the Black Woodpecker or the Long-tailed Tit 🐦 🐿️
  • 🎨 Witness the seasonal color transitions from summer sunflowers to the vibrant red and yellow alder trees during autumn 🍂 📸

Travel Tips

  • ☀️ Visit specifically on calm, sunny days to capture the famous “mirror reflection” of the trees on the surface of the pond 🤳 🌅
  • 🧴 Bring strong insect repellent if visiting between June and August, as the proximity to the water makes the park a hub for summer bugs 🦟 🧴
