ABOUT

Domaine Raison is a winery that “creates” together with goats.

To create an environment where people and nature can coexist, Domaine Raison lets goats roam freely through the vineyards.

The goats eat grass, run around, work the soil, and their manure becomes fertilizer.

The grapes grown in those vineyards then become wine.

This repeating, sustainable cycle is our guiding principle.

FEATURE STORY

Winery

This winery, which conducted its first vinification in 2019, stands amid the natural landscape of Nakafurano, known as the “navel of Hokkaido,” with the majestic Tokachidake mountain range rising to the east.

The winery is an impressive facility, combining the best of old and new—from an advanced bottling line and traditional basket press to rows of temperature-controlled tanks.

Winery tours are available free of charge, and with advance reservations, guests can also join tours that propose pairings of wine and food.

Vineyards

Domaine Raison operates its own vineyards totaling 40 hectares in the Furano area of Hokkaido (Nakafurano and Furano), making them among the largest in Japan. It grows 12 wine-grape varieties suited to the cool climate, including German varieties that are difficult to cultivate on Honshu.

A “Terroir Tour” is also held every Friday. Experience the natural beauty of Nakafurano and the appeal of Domaine Raison with all five senses.

Boutique

At Domaine Raison, goats are part of a “sustainable energy cycle,” and the winery strives to make wine by harnessing the power of nature.

Alongside original wines with the refreshing, light character of a cool climate, the boutique also offers wines from Maruki Winery in Yamanashi and sake made by Hamada in Yonezawa. Chocolate products that pair well with wine are also available for purchase.

Cafe & Restaurant

The cafe offers a variety of sweets and drinks made with goat’s milk.

Guests can also enjoy freshly baked pizza, easy-to-eat burgers, and other menu items supervised by the executive chef of Hotel & Condominium HITOHANA in Furano.

Relax on the terrace and enjoy an unhurried moment with a spectacular view of Tokachidake.

Hotel & Condominium HITOHANA

A place to relax, created by the winery.

Hotel & Condominium HITOHANA opened in Kitanomine, Furano.

The hotel is conceived as a villa for guests visiting the winery: unpretentious, yet luxurious. A kind of relaxation found only here.
