Central Hokkaido Ski Resorts
Furano
Furano has some of the best quality snow in Hokkaido all season long. With terrain to suit all abilities from long wide groomers to great tree skiing.
From the resort you have spectacular views up the valley lined by the mountains in Daisetsuzan National Park (meaning great snowy mountains) on a clear day.
Furano delivers an authentic Japanese countryside town experience with restaurants/bars owned and enjoyed by the locals.
Furano is where Whiteroom began so it’s a favourite on our must ski or ride list.
Kamui Ski Links
One of Hokkaido’s best ski areas, located just outside Asahikawa and 1hour from Furano.
Kamui offers beautiful long wide groomers perfect for all abilities, along with great off piste areas from intermediate to advanced.
Combined with very little crowds, great snow and lots of blue bird weather days, there is something here for everyone.
Tomamu
Boasting 29 fantastic groomed runs for beginners to experts set among the beautiful trees and mountains.
Tomamu also offers skiers and boarders an awesome park and off-piste section which is roped off from the rest of the crowd.
Coupled with a 50 metre wave pool plus indoor/outdoor onsen and an array of quality restaurants, Tomamu really strikes a cord with everyone who visits.
An extremely user and family friendly resort.
Sahoro
Located in a similar direction and time frame as Tomamu from Furano, Sahoro feels like your private ski resort on most days.
With long groomed trails for all abilities and some lovely gladed tree areas, Sahoro is the perfect area to improve your technique while experiencing another of Central Hokkaido’s quality resorts.
