Furano is a large ski resort in close proximity to the local Furano township offering a fusion of authentic, traditional Japanese culture. Due to its central Hokkaido location it is renowned for reliably cold weather patterns producing over 8 metres of powder snow annually and more blue bird days than many other resorts in Hokkaido.
Furano combines some of the steepest and longest runs in Hokkaido with two interconnected ski areas, Furano and Kitanomine. Furano Ski Resort has hosted the FIS Ski World Cup and the Snowboarding World Cup. With its wide variety of terrain and English-speaking ski schools it is perfect for the entire family. The ski areas gate system offers access to the side country from the resort, out of the resort boundaries.
Furano is uncrowded, charming and a genuine ski town. With the choice of Kitanomine Village, at the base of the ski lifts and the town of Furano, a taxi ride away, there are plenty of dining and shopping options to suit all tastes. Furano is the ideal base for day trip options to other nearby ski areas including Tomamu and Kamui Ski Links
