The Skiers' Guide to Furano

Furano is a scenic ski resort in central Hokkaido. As with other Japanese resorts, it’s known for its high-quality, dry powder and nicely groomed slopes. The mountain is split into two areas. Furano and Kitanomine both offer a good mix of terrain for all abilities. This is a great hybrid resort, offering many of the amenities of a modern resort without the heavily manufactured feel. You’ll find fantastic local cuisine, a relaxed village atmosphere, and picturesque views of the Tokachidake mountain range. If you’re looking for Japanese pow, a great range of terrain, and an authentic mountain experience, then Furana is definitely worth a look.
