Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 11cm
Snowfall at base this season 340cm

Posted on Friday 11th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


It is a very crisp Furano morning that has brought cold temperatures and clear skies. It is beautifully blue all above the resort and the morning sun is beaming down. Yesterday saw temperatures push above freezing and a bit of melt on the roads. However, overnight there has been 11cm of fresh powder which will mean great snow conditions through today. 11cm in the village will mean much more up on the resort.
