- Furano Winter
Information -
Furano is one of Japan's
most famous ski resorts, although relatively
little is known about it outside of Japan.
Situated in the middle of Hokkaido, Japan's
northernmost island, Furano benefits from
Siberian storm systems that pass over the Sea of
Japan and then dump the lightest and driest snow
in all of Hokkaido - and 9 meters of it each
season. After a big snow fall there is often
untracked powder for days.

The Furano
Ski area is made up two zones,
the Kitanomine zone and Furano
zone.
Both areas have a variety of
accommodation options and the
town of Furano is only a 3 min
shuttle from the Kitanomine zone
and a 6 min shuttle away from the
Furano zone, and is home to a
wide array of restaurants and
bars and all the services you
would expect to find in a town.
Both of these zones can be
accessed on the one pass and are
serviced by 11 lifts.
Furano has an abundance of varied
terrain for every level of skier
and snowboarder and a vertical
drop of over 950 meters making it
one of the steepest mountains in
Hokkaido. |
