Rokugō no Mori, Television drama filming location in Furano, Japan.
Rokugō no Mori is a collection of wooden cabins and structures scattered across a forested area in Hokkaido that served as the original filming location for a long-running Japanese television drama. The site preserves several buildings including the main character's log cabin, his third residence featuring a wind power generator, and a gathered structure that together recreate the rural setting from the series.
The site opened in 1984 as a tourism destination based on the original filming locations of a Japanese television drama that broadcast from 1981 to 2002. The long run of the series made it possible to preserve the sets and later make them accessible to visitors.
The wooden buildings reflect the simple way of life that the television series portrayed for its main character and his family. Walking through these structures gives visitors a sense of how daily routines and domestic moments were lived in this rural corner of Hokkaido.
The site is set in a wooded area and requires comfortable shoes for exploring the different buildings spread across the grounds. It helps to allow some time to visit all the structures and enjoy the surroundings, especially if you want to look inside the individual houses.
The grounds preserve not just the buildings but also the natural forest landscape that was used during the filming of the series over two decades. This long-term use as a shooting location shaped the environment and makes it today an authentic window into the production's past.
