Furano, Hokkaido


Furano Resort Guide

Located in the Daisetsu -zan National Park in the centre of Hokkaido, the Furano Ski Area is one of Japan's most famous resorts, having hosted a number of Ski World Cups as well as a Snowboard World Cup.

 

 

Furano has a huge variety of terrain, making it suitable to enthusiasts of all levels: from perfectly groomed, long, wide cruising runs for beginners to a World Cup course, which is the longest, steepest powder course in Hokkaiko. There are two sides to the Furano ski area;  Furano and Kitanomine and both sides have their own distinct character. The town of Furano, 5 minutes by taxi from the resort, remains largely untouched by outside influences, here you will discover a feel for the real Japan.
