FURANO / ARRIVAL JOURNAL

Getting to Furano: airports, station and three places to stay

Plan the airport journey and the daily trip to the slopes separately. Choose a drop-off in Furano Zone, Kitanomine or town.

01 / TRAVEL NOTES

Choose the drop-off before the ticket

Shin Furano Prince is in Furano Zone, FENIX Furano is in Kitanomine and La Vista Furano Hills is in town. A ticket to 'Furano' does not cover every doorstep: check the last leg to your hotel, rentals and lesson.

02 / TRAVEL NOTES

From Asahikawa Airport

Furano Bus's Lavender-go links the airport, Furano Station and Shin Furano Prince Hotel. Use the airport's Furano-bound stop. The hotel's official driving estimate from the airport is about one hour, not a bus journey time. Match the chosen bus's stops to your accommodation and arrange the final leg to Kitanomine or town.

03 / TRAVEL NOTES

From New Chitose: reserved ski bus

The official 2026–27 Resort Liner runs airport-to-Furano on 2026-12-01–2027-03-30 and Furano-to-airport on 2026-12-02–2027-03-31. These are bus dates, not ski-area dates. Only booked pickup/drop-off points are served. Confirm the actual stop for Kitanomine or your hotel; journey time and booking deadlines depend on the selected service.

04 / TRAVEL NOTES

From Furano Station to the three hotels

Shin Furano Prince quotes about 12 minutes by taxi or 17 minutes by Lavender-go. Specify FENIX's Kitanomine address for its separate journey rather than applying those times. La Vista is about three minutes' walk from the station, with slope transport still to arrange. Allow for snow and luggage.

05 / TRAVEL NOTES

Travelling by train

From New Chitose Airport, travel towards Sapporo and check transfers to Furano for your date with JR. The hotel lists a route via Takikawa from Sapporo and the Furano Line from Asahikawa. Furano Station is separate from the slope entrances: arrange the onward bus or taxi too.

06 / TRAVEL NOTES

Departure day and delays

Resort Liner asks for arrival 15 minutes before departure at airports and 10 minutes elsewhere. Flight-to-bus minimums are 45 minutes domestic / 90 international; bus-to-flight minimums are 90 domestic / 150 international. Add winter disruption margin. Confirm last buses and transfer deadlines with each operator, and save a backup transport contact.

Furano Zone

Shin Furano Prince Hotel

Slope access
Near the Kita-no-Mine Gondola. The entrance differs from hotels in the Furano Zone.

Compare hotel rooms, studios and multi-bedroom suites. Not every room has a kitchen.

Superior Hotel Room, Deluxe Studio and multi-bedroom Suite layouts have different facilities and capacities. Do not assume every category has a kitchen; match the Penthouse photograph to the room booked. The dining site retains 2025–26 winter information, so confirm current operation and meal inclusions.
