Furano Ski Resort
富良野スキー場
A Hokkaido ski area that has hosted several Alpine Ski World Cup events, split into Kitanomine and Furano sections. Its dry inland powder snow is of excellent quality.
Furano Ski Resort is run by Prince Hotels and is divided into the Kitanomine and Furano sections, with about 24 runs in total. The longest run is about 4 km, and beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes are well balanced. The Furano gondola takes you quickly to the summit, and on clear days you can see Mt. Tokachi and the Furano basin. The inland climate gives the snow a dry, light texture. The ski season runs from late November to early May. A one-day lift pass costs about ¥7,000 to ¥8,000 (check the official website for current prices). The Shin-Furano Prince Hotel is at the foot of the slopes, and a shuttle bus runs about 10 minutes from Furano Station on the JR line. In summer the gondola is open for mountain sightseeing.
