Surrounded by the Daisetsuzan National Park in central Hokkaido, Furano is a popular resort with locals - it’s known for hosting events like the FIS Downhill World Cup. Divided into two zones (Kitanomine and Furano), the ski area has lots for intermediates, with long groomers and gentler slopes lower down. After dark, the night skiing gives magical views of Furano.
With backcountry restrictions relaxed in recent years, you can access some fantastic tree runs and untracked powder - the snow is often lighter and drier than in west Hokkaido, with around nine metres falling each year. Local guides can take you to the powder havens of Asahidake, Kamui and Tomamu or, to explore further, see our Hokkaido Explorer Ski Safari.
A three-minute shuttle from the slopes, Furano town is full of character. Relaxing in your hotel’s onsen (hot springs) is part of the daily ritual, and the sledges at Family Snowland are great fun. We can also recommend the inexpensive izakayas (Japanese pubs) for great food and local Hokkaido beers.
"Furano ski holidays are great - laid back atmosphere, ski-in ski-out accommodation and a town that offers a real Japanese experience. If you have the time, it's well worth making Furano a part of your Japanese trip."
