Furano
Situated on the island of Hokkaido, Furano is well-known for its light and dry snow that falls in abundance throughout the winter season. There are great cruising runs for beginners and intermediates alike and for the advanced skier or snowboarder there is plenty of challenging terrain. The town of Furano, approximately one kilometre from the Kitanomine ski base, is a typical Japanese town, mostly untouched by modern influences.
Why Furano
Seemingly endless and immaculately groomed runs are an intermediates’ paradise.
The authenticity of the town of Furano means you can eat like a local for the fraction of the price of resort restaurants.
Make this your base and explore the surrounding ski areas, with a guide, to chase the deep dry powder on central Hokkaido.
