Ski Furano · Snow Season
Peaceful powder and wonderfully uncrowded slopes — a perfect alternative to Niseko's crowds and cost.
Winter in Furano is peaceful, powdery, and wonderfully uncrowded — a perfect alternative to Niseko's crowds and cost. At Villa Matsu, mornings start slowly: warm floors underfoot, espresso on the balcony, mountains shimmering in the distance. Within minutes you're on the slopes, returning later to spa baths and quiet evenings by the window as snow falls outside.
