About Furano

Furano sits in the geographic centre of Hokkaido, Japan, and is consistently ranked among the country's best resorts by Japanese skiers who prize its consistent powder, varied terrain, and unhurried atmosphere. The resort receives exceptional snowfall channelled through the surrounding Tokachi mountain range, producing champagne powder conditions that persist well into March. Furano remains comparatively uncrowded despite its quality, making it a favourite for those seeking the Hokkaido powder experience without the international crowds of Niseko.
