Information about Furano region of Hokkaido
Furano is a city located in the very central region of the northern island of Hokkaido The ski area is located very close to Furano town area and the locals are particularly involved in welcoming visitors to the area. There is also a well organized tourism association in Furano that puts on regular events throughout the winter, most of which are free to attend. 
 





 

Furano is a good place to go and experience some great Japanese hospitality and culture as well as the quality snow that Hokkaido is famous for.

Furano Ski Area is divided into two zones. The Furano Zone and the Kitanomine Zone. Both zones are interlinked by a chairlift and link run. Lift passes are valid in both zones.

The Furano Zone is serviced by the fastest cable car in Japan, whisking up to 101 people to the top in just one trip. The trip takes only 5 minutes. The Kitanomine Zone is serviced by a 6 person gondola.

The mountain has a good variety of terrain spread over 25kms of runs, most of which are groomed to perfection with a few un-groomed black runs. Not as busy as Niseko, Furano is becoming an increasingly popular choice for skiers and snowboarders looking for something else.

Furano is located about 140km to the east of Sapporo.
