Furano snow land for children, after you alight from the bus, enter the hotel, turn right, walk through the gift shop, walk down the stairs, and out of the hotel, turn right you will see a car park. Across the road there is a souvenir shop, turn left and you will find the snow land. Pay money at the counter. Roughly you need 2 hours to finish playing everything, take note lunch break is about 12-1pm. If you want to save money, our kids had the most fun playing the sled, and it was the cheapest option. If you have cash to splash then play everything, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
Very nice skiing area. But, one lift Furano Downhill Swift Lift no. 1 is out of service. Therefore, the whole lift service of the area is out of sync. Therefore you must wait 30-60 minutes for the gondola service on a regular weekday. We are having a nice experience skiing, but this lift at fault really give you less value for money and time. Check out if the lift service is running before going?
Also, contrary to all other gondola operators, they do not fill up the platform while waiting for a gondola arrival. So, first, at arrival the line start to move - loosing another 10 minutes.
The egg lifts here take 6 person but they fill with 2-4 persons. This way, the line build up and creates more waiting time than needed. Both the gondola and egg lift lines steel valuable time from skiing - sad since it is not necessary.
Really like this place, the snow is very good for the skier. There are snow wonderland for those who wants to just play with the snow. With 5000yen per hour, you can try snow mobkle tandem with a prof driver, snow banana boat, snow rafting and tobogan.
Also there is nigle terrace for those who wants to shop or just look around.
Should stay longer here...
Thankful for the powdery snow & good visibility! Friendly resort staff helped us to book a taxi back to our hotel near Kitanomine Gondola after our ski, the price is about $20(metered taxi).
Visited Furano in early March, one of the best days riding in my life. Great value lift tickets, lunch, snacks and overall experience. Parking is very easy, never waited in a lift line and was able to find fresh snow in the trees.
