2024 Furano bonchi powder Festival
The first day of the annual Furano Ski Festival is finished! The festival has been renamed the "bonchi powder Festival" to recognize the amazing powder snow in the Furano Basin (bonchi).
Fantastic food booths, a drum performance, a dance demonstration from our SUMMER Navel Festival, complete with shirtless men dancing in -10 C temps, a colored torch ski parade with 200 skiers, and an awesome fireworks show highlighted the first night.
Watch the video highlights below.
See you in Furano.
So How Dry is Hokkaido Powder, Really?
Yeah, yeah, you've heard it all. "Hokkaido is the best powder on earth!" But how do you know? How can you believe it until you actually touch it?
Well, here's a little visual aid. The lifties in Furano use common electric blowers to blow the snow off the chairs. Just needs a short puff. Works like a charm. THAT'S how dry Furano bonchi powder is!!!
See you in Furano.
Summer Fireworks
They really love their fireworks in Japan. In late July, there was a huge fireworks show and free concert on Lake Kanayama about 45 minutes south of Furano. On Aug 14, Furano had their show for the first time in 3 years.
See you in Furano.
