Furano Marche, Commercial complex in Furano, Japan
Furano Marche is a shopping complex divided into two parallel sections separated by a small road, with roughly twenty shops and restaurants throughout. The space features dedicated areas where regional products, handicrafts, and local specialty foods are sold to visitors and residents alike.
The facility opened in 2010 and marked a turning point in how Furano's local retail operated. This development helped the city strengthen its local economy and created a gathering place for regional products and visitors.
The space brings together local makers and visitors in a setting that keeps regional craftsmanship visible and active. Farmers and small producers share their work directly with customers who pass through daily.
Visit in late morning or early afternoon when shops are busy and lively. The two sections sit close together, making it easy to move between them and complete shopping or dining in one convenient stop.
Many visitors miss that certain shops actually make their own products, and you can sometimes watch the makers working. This direct look at how things are made sets it apart from typical shopping areas.
