Japan
1 / 20Furano Ski Resort is on Hokkaido, Japan. It offers 32 km of terrain, 11 lifts, and elevations of 245 - 1,074 m.
Trail information
Furano sits in the centre of Hokkaido and splits into two areas, Furano itself and Kitanomine, each with its own base station. The vertical exceeds eight hundred metres, a lot for Japan, and the snow arrives on Siberian systems: dry and light, as it is across the island. Furano once hosted World Cup rounds; today it is better known for its tree runs and its floodlit evening skiing. In summer the valley around turns purple with the lavender fields for which Furano is famous throughout Japan.

Furano
What visitors say about the resort
Furano is appreciated for having almost as much snow as Niseko, but far fewer people. Visitors praise its well-groomed, long runs, nearly 1,000 m of vertical, and the genuine Japanese town below rather than a resort backdrop.
Complaints include officially restricted off-piste skiing, with freeriders criticizing the rules in reviews. The second issue is the cold: central Hokkaido is freezing, and temperatures of -20 °C are normal here. Visitors also note that the ski area is split into two sectors with an inconvenient connection.
