Overall 4.1 Based on 23 votes and 20 reviews
The last 2 reviews are somewhat typical of the entitled western rider. Is progress changing the ski resort, sure and it needed to, before the whole place went the way of numerous other ski resorts in Hokkaido and Japan, which go under because of lack of tourism. Simply put, resorts require money to operate and have a vibrant ski/board community with the related services, ski hires and instructors, guides etc. As someone who has lived here for 15 years and skied here for over 17 in Furano and 25 in Hokkaido, I am here to tell you, the place still rocks, the side country is epic and it is still not smashed as quickly as the whole of Niseko is on Pow days. Steeper lines and a cable car moving more people more quickly than anywhere in Japan The resort management team is living in the past and it is time they realized what is needed to survive in the modern ski world! Back country everywhere and a host of other resorts and backcountry destinations are a short drive away. You can’t beat Furano!
