Furano

A wonderful ski town.

The Lawsons has yummy food, you need cash for the ski resort, and I would recommend any of the nearby hotel onsens after a big day on the mountain 😊 

Not many restaurants are open each night, so make sure to call ahead or if you see a restaurant you like and it’s open, don’t wait until tomorrow - in January they’re not open everyday 😊
