ABOUT FURANO

If you are looking for a ski holiday in Furano Japan then Furano Ski Holidays will be able to advise you on all aspects of skiing Furano and surrounding districts.

Furano, like Niseko, is situated on the Northern Island of Hokkaido. Furano is a little colder than Niseko and has even dryer powder (if that is possible), to the annual fall of around 8 metres. 

The Village

 Furano is a neat town which rises to the edge of the ski fields. There are plenty of taxis and buses available in the area but little traffic. The accommodation for skiers is very close to the ski lifts, and there are plenty of restaurants within a short walking distance from the hotels and “pensions” (bed and breakfast establishments).

There are NO western apartments in Furano.

From the ski-lifts  there is a regular shuttle bus service to down town Furano where there is a vast array of shops and eating establishments ranging from all styles of Japanese and western cuisine (including McDonalds if that is your preference).

Shuttle timetables, dining and entertainment guides etc are available in the foyer of whatever establishment in which you stay.

A few of the places well worth a visit are:

The bakery below the New Prince Hotel - This has good coffee and a variety of different foods – open all day

Ningul Terrace – A series of craftsman cottages over the road from the bakery, best visited at night.

Try a “baked milk drink” at Chu Chu café or a scotch at Soh’s bar. (For “miserable smokers” – something’s lost here in the translation!) – open 7pm until midnight.
