Take a romantic stroll on the Ningle Terrace at night.

Inside each of these cottages, there are little handicraft shops selling creative items.

The cottages are surrounded by beautiful pine trees.

Photography is not allowed inside the handicraft shops.

I can imagine how beautiful these cottages will look covered in Furano's powder snow.

Anything from hand crafted figurines, postcards, paper art, can be found in these little cottage shops.

Right at the entrance of the Ningle Terrace is a shop specialising in drama merchandise.

Owing to its rugged, natural beauty, Hokkaido is a favourite drama location. There is a drama merchandise shop specialising in merchandise of several dramas shot around the Ningle Terrace.

Owing to its romantic beauty, the Ningle Terrace in Furano is a favourite spot for drama producers. There is a shop selling merchandise from the various dramas produced in and around the Ningle Terrace - Yasashi Jikan and From the North Country just to name a couple. These cottage shops sell various handicraft products from customized leather goods to hand-crafted wooden figurines to paper artwork. The tall pine trees that surround these little cottages not only create a beautiful scenery but also give the terrace a great scent. The Ningle Terrace is the best viewed at night, when its numerous fairy lights glow against the dark. It is best accessed by car or taxi.
