Located in central Hokkaido, Furano offers a lot to those wanting to experience the best of Japanese skiing in a truly Japanese environment.
Furano also serves as a great base to explore the ski resorts and backcountry mountains of central Hokkaido such as Tokachidake, Asahidake, Kamui, Tomamu and Sahoro.
Hokkaido Resort Liner is a great value bus service offering both a Rusutsu to Furano bus route for arrival and a Furano to Rusutsu bus route for departure, both via Chitose Airport.
With bus stops at Shin Furano, Kitanomine or Furano Town in the Furano area and bus stops at Rusutsu Resort Hotel and Westin Rusutsu, both areas are well served.
The route is relatively direct with just one change of vehicle required at Chitose Airport.
- Stage 1: Rusutsu to Chitose Airport (2.5 to 3 hours)
- Stage 2: Chitose Airport to Furano (2 to 2.5 hours)
A comfort break along the way is provided for both stages, so you can get out and stretch your legs.
