Japan continues to grow in popularity for British skiers and snowboarders. Being easy to reach, friendly, great value, serving fabulous food and of course having the world’s best snow are all big draws.
When we think of Japanese skiing, though, the same name keeps cropping up. Perhaps it’s time to start looking at the many other ski resorts Japan has to offer?
UK-based experts Japan Ski Experience report that Furano enjoys a special kind of ‘champagne powder’- drier and lighter than that which falls on more famous resorts on Japan’s famous northern ski island. Typically, though, it gets less extreme weather and fewer multi-day storms than further west and is instead famed for its blue sky powder days.
It also recently opened up its powder snow potential after years of being piste-only with side-country freeride terrain now available.
Furano is perfect for families, with lots of gentle groomed runs; a quieter, relaxed atmosphere and, best of all, kids ski free! There are also two new luxury condominium hotels by the slopes.
Japan Ski Experience provides impartial advice on the best Furano accommodation and can book this, and resort services for you, for the same prices as booking direct. But you benefit from expert local advice and support throughout the booking process and in resort.
