Furano Ski Resort ['25-26]

A vast powdery snow field consisting of two areas where you can feel the magnificence of Hokkaido

Furano is one of Hokkaido's leading complex resorts, with a magnificent view of Mt. The Kitanomine and Furano zones are connected at the top of the slopes, and there are a total of 28 courses that can be enjoyed by beginners to advanced skiers alike.

The biggest appeal of Furano Ski Resort is that you can enjoy the ultra-dry powder and beautiful grooming you can only find inland on two ski slopes.

The view from the lift is also spectacular, allowing you to immerse your body and mind in the magnificent nature of Hokkaido. Both zones have uncompacted snow courses, and if you want to be the first to hit the powder in the Furano zone, it's especially convenient to stay at the New Furano Prince Hotel.

Enjoy a private slope and a special lunch at "FURANO bonchi Powder First Track with Photo Session"

Aiming for dawn, take a special ropeway to the summit.
As the sun rises, ski down an unspoiled slope while enjoying the spectacular view of the Tokachi Mountain Range. Photographer Kei Sato, known for his "Skiing Journey Around the World," captures this luxurious moment of having the fluffy, smooth powder all to yourself, created by the basin climate that has attracted worldwide attention. You will receive a free copy of the footage. Depending on the conditions, you may even encounter fantastic natural phenomena such as "diamond dust" and "sun pillars."

After skiing, you can enjoy a "First Track Bento" prepared by the head chef in a special room for skiers debuting at the hotel, which includes Japanese, Western and Chinese cuisine and desserts made with ingredients from Hokkaido.
