Furano Skiing

Furano Skiing Discover Japan’s Hidden Backcountry Powder

Most tourists imagine the renowned snow stashes of Niseko or the growing popularity of Furano's sidecountry when they think about skiing in Hokkaido. Furano, however, is the place to go if you want to get away from the swarming throng and enjoy backcountry skiing in Japan at its purest form.

For daring skiers and splitboarders who desire more than resort laps, PowderQuest offers the Furano Backcountry Tour. Before selecting the ideal location in Daisetsuzan National Park or the lesser-known Furano backcountry zones, our professional guides evaluate the weather and snowpack every day. Untracked powder, breathtaking mountain landscapes, and descents that are rarely ridden by outsiders are the end results.

Trip Highlights

  • Small groups: Just 6 guests with 2 certified ski guides for maximum attention and safety.
  • Flexible itineraries: Chase the best powder daily with routes chosen according to weather and snow conditions.
  • No crowds: Skip the congested resorts and sidecountry zones to discover true backcountry lines.
  • Culture & relaxation: Hot spring onsens, authentic dining experiences, and Japanese hospitality complete the trip.

Where You’ll Stay in Furano

We have carefully selected a selection of cozy 4-star hotels in Furano that strike a mix between contemporary conveniences and traditional Japanese elements. After a day of skiing bottomless snow, guests may rest in spas with traditional Japanese onsen pools, comfortable beds, and private toilets at each hotel.

Why Furano Belongs on Your Ski Best  Experience 

Furano may be lesser known than Niseko, but that’s exactly what makes it special. With expert guides leading you to hidden powder stashes, breathtaking scenery in Daisetsuzan National Park, and the chance to immerse yourself in Japanese culture, this is skiing in its purest form.

If you’re searching for an experience that combines world-class powder with authenticity and adventure, Furano should be at the top of your list.
