Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 445cm

Posted on Wednesday 24th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


There haven't been too many bluebird days this season but today adds one to the total. After yesterdays severe winds left the resort mostly closed, today couldn't be more of a contrast with no wind in the village and mainly clear sky. It is cold though. Don't be deceived by the sun, put on that extra layer and turn on the boot warmers. There is 20cm of new snowfall, which will vary a lot due to the strong wind effect yesterday.
