Furano Ski Resort 富良野スキー場

Don't miss out on some of the best powder snow in Hokkaido at Furano Ski Resort.

Trains and buses connect Sapporo to Furano Ski Resort.

It is about a 50-minute limited express train ride from Sapporo to Takikawa Station and then about an hour by local train to Furano Station.

Direct buses from Sapporo Station go to the ski field (two and a half hours). Times change depending on weather conditions.

Looking for the best snow in Hokkaido? Because of the Siberian storm system, Furano benefits from the lightest, driest powder in Hokkaido. It gets up to about nine meters each season, making it a dream for powder lovers.

The Furano Ski Resort is made up of two zones: the Kitanomine Zone for easy runs and the Furano Zone with slightly more difficult runs. There are currently 28 courses and 9 lifts, and the longest run is four kilometers. One pass covers both zones, and there are hot springs near the ski fields.

There are many other activities available at the resort's Family Snowland, including snowmobile rides, snow rafting, cross-country skiing, bouncy castle jumping, and more.
