As the location for the illustrious TV drama
Kita-no-Kuni Kara (From a Northern Land), Furano,
to most Japanese, is synonymous with Hokkaido.
But now thanks to a joint venture by JTB and
Hokkaido Chuo Bus, Hokkaido's Biei and Furano
are about to become the world's Biei and Furano.

Every
Friday, Saturday and Sunday from July to September,
a multilingual-guide day-trip bus tour will
operate, taking passengers to the central Hokkaido
area of Furano and Biei accompanied by narration
in English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese, thanks
to a portable transceiver system developed by
JTB subsidiary Sun Support Hokkaido- the first
of it's kind in Hokkaido - enabling passengers
to hear commentary both inside and outside the
bus.
