Furano Ski Resort rests at an altitude of over 1,000 meters above sea level. If you take a ride on the Kitanomine gondola, you'll be able to see the beautiful scenery of Hokkaido as you approach the summit of the resort. As you look out from the gondola, few buildings will interrupt your view. Directly in front, you'll be able to see the mountains of Hokkaido, and if you turn your gaze upward on a sunny day, clear blue skies will spread out before you in every direction.

The slopes boast vast premises: over 20 courses offering levels appropriate for beginners and experts alike provide enjoyable skiing and snowboarding experiences for everyone, regardless of skill. The surrounding areas also possess facilities such as gardens, cafes, and golf courses, as well as plenty of lodging. You can enjoy skiing and other activities in addition to a stay at one of the many lodging facilities, or you can content yourself with winter sports over the course of a day trip. On top of everything, there is a fully-equipped international preschool within the establishment that cares for kids from all over Japan and other countries, so it's easy to take the whole family on a visit. With a mixture of on-site playgrounds, outdoor games in the snow, and indoor leisure activities, a day spent here is sure to be full of fun.

Furano Ski Resort makes the best of the intense cold of Hokkaido's winters. The slopes are open from late November through early May, and the long ski season is one of its defining characteristics. If you want to give spring skiing a try, this is a great place to visit!
