FAQs
How do I get from New Chitose Airport to Furano?
The most common way to get from New Chitose Airport to Furano is by JR train. You can take the JR Rapid Airport train from the airport to Sapporo Station, and then transfer to a limited express or local train bound for Furano. This usually involves one transfer and takes about 2.5 to 3 hours in total. Additionally, during the peak summer tourist season, some bus companies may offer seasonal direct bus services from the airport to Furano, but these have fewer departures and require advance booking. Renting a car is also a convenient option, offering greater flexibility and freedom, with a driving time of about 2 hours. However, be mindful of the challenges of driving in snowy conditions during winter.
What are the recommended sightseeing bus routes in Furano?
During the peak summer tourist season, Furano typically offers several sightseeing bus routes to help visitors explore major attractions. Seasonal buses such as the 'Furano Lavender Bus' or 'Biei-Furano Tour Bus' usually connect popular spots like Farm Tomita, Saika no Sato, Blue Pond, and Shikisai-no-oka. These buses often offer day passes or multi-day passes, allowing visitors to travel easily without the hassle of driving. It is recommended to check the sightseeing bus information for the current year before your trip to confirm routes, schedules, and operating periods.
Is it convenient to rent a car and drive around Furano? What should I be aware of?
Renting a car and driving around Furano is very convenient, especially for travelers who want to explore surrounding areas like Biei and the Tokachi岳 region in depth, offering high flexibility and freedom to plan your itinerary. Key points to note include: ensure you have your Japanese translation of your Taiwan driver's license and passport; during winter driving, pay close attention to snow accumulation and ice on the roads. It is advisable to rent a vehicle equipped with snow tires or four-wheel drive and be familiar with snow driving techniques. Drive slowly and cautiously to ensure safety. Also, parking spaces at some popular attractions may be limited, so plan accordingly.
Will winter transportation in Furano be affected by snowfall?
Furano receives abundant snowfall in winter, and transportation can indeed be affected. JR train services may be delayed or suspended due to weather conditions, and bus and sightseeing bus services may also be adjusted or canceled. For self-driving, roads can easily become snow-covered and icy, requiring snow tires and slower driving speeds. It is recommended to check the latest operational information from JR Hokkaido or bus companies before traveling to Furano in winter, and to allow for flexibility in your itinerary to cope with unexpected situations. Some smaller paths or access roads to attractions may also be closed due to snow.
During the Furano flower season, is it more convenient to take a JR train or a sightseeing bus?
During the Furano flower season, both JR trains and sightseeing buses have their advantages. JR trains, especially the summer-limited 'Furano Biei Romantic Train,' allow you to comfortably travel from Sapporo or Asahikawa to the Furano area and alight at specific stations to visit nearby flower fields. Sightseeing buses can take you directly to multiple major flower field attractions, saving you transfer or walking time, and are ideal for travelers who prefer not to drive or move around extensively. If you have ample time and wish to explore in depth, consider using them in combination or opting for car rental for maximum flexibility. It is recommended to choose based on your personal itinerary and preferences.

Furthermore, renting a car is also highly recommended, allowing you to plan your itinerary freely and explore Furano and the surrounding Biei region in depth, but be mindful of traffic rules and winter driving safety.
Approximately how often are the train services from Sapporo to Furano?
To travel from Sapporo to Furano by JR train, you typically need to transfer at Takikawa or Asahikawa Station.

Limited express trains have more frequent services, but transfers are still required. It is recommended to check the official JR Hokkaido website for the most up-to-date and accurate timetable information. Train schedules may be adjusted, especially during winter or peak tourist seasons, so confirming in advance will help ensure a smoother travel plan.

It is recommended to obtain the latest bus route maps and timetables from the Furano Station or tourist information center upon arrival.
