Some big news for a Furano accommodation. Furano Lofts has won an international public-selected award as "Japan’s Best Ski Lodge/Chalet." Wow. Big stuff. This achievement highlights the excellent quality of accommodation available in the Furano area. Congratulations to Furano Lofts for their hard work. Here is the official press release:
Furano, Hokkaido – June 2025
Furano Lofts & Chalet has been awarded Japan’s Best Ski Lodge/Chalet in the 2025 Ski Asia Awards, marking the first-ever win for any Furano property in the history of the prestigious pan-Asia ski awards.
This recognition positions Furano on equal footing with Japan’s most celebrated ski destinations, joining the ranks of past winners in Niseko, Madarao, and Zao Onsen. Selected entirely by public vote, the award reflects widespread approval from the ski community and international travelers alike.
Located in Furano’s upper Kitanomine village, Furano Lofts & Chalet is operated by Flint Furano KK and is consistently ranked #1 on TripAdvisor for Furano stays. The boutique property offers a rare blend of privacy, alpine luxury, and local warmth, with fully self-contained loft apartments and a multi-bedroom chalet. A standout feature is its exclusive-use onsen, the only one of its kind in Furano’s ski village.
Guests praise the lodge for its design, service, and views of the Tokachi mountain range. With personalized hospitality and insider knowledge of the region, the team at Furano Lofts & Chalet delivers a five-star experience grounded in Furano’s charm.
"This is not just a win for us – it’s a win for Furano," said Leon Flint, Owner of Furano Lofts & Chalet. “It proves Furano can stand proudly among Asia’s top ski destinations.”
The Ski Asia Awards, now in their sixth year, are run by Ski Asia (skiasia.com), a trusted authority on ski travel across Japan and Asia-Pacific. Winners are determined solely by reader votes, making the accolade a genuine reflection of guest satisfaction and loyalty.
As Furano continues to grow its reputation across all seasons – from winter powder to summer lavender – this award reinforces the town’s appeal to both domestic and international travelers seeking authentic, high-quality experiences.
See you in Furano.
