FURANO CITY AND THE RESORT
Welcome to Furano Ski Resort
Furano is located on the powder belt in the centre of Hokkaido with
an annual snowfall of 9m and some of the driest powder snow you will ever
experience in your life.
On arrival in Furano,Japanese and foreign tourists alike often need reminding that they are still in Japan and not in the middle of Europe,as the city is situated in a picturesque valley between the rugged Tokachi Mountain Range and the peaks of Mt Ashibetsu,Mt Yubari and Mt Nishi-Furano
Furano is famous for its onions,carrots,potatoes,asparagus,corn,and rice,as
well as its grapes,melons,watermelons and strawberries
LOCATION AND ACCESS
Location
Furano is the centre of Hokkaido and it is this location that ensures amazingly light snow, great weather conditions, beautiful scenery and perfect farming conditions as well as some wonderfully unique festivals. Downtown you can see a large rock indicating the geographical centre of Hokkaido. The weather patterns ensure long warm days in summer and cool days throughout spring and autumn, not to mention 8 to 9 metres of light snow fall each ski season. Long blue-sky days allow great views from the ski hill of the smoke that spirals up from the volcano across town the valley. Anyone from families to beginner and high intermediate skiers easily fall in love with the ski area, its long groomed runs and the fantastic views.Access
