Furano and Biei are two towns in the center of
Hokkaido, known for their pleasant and picturesque rural landscapes. The best time to visit is July and August, when many
lavender fields are in bloom.
How to get around Furano and Biei
By airThe closest airport is Asahikawa Airport with direct flights to Tokyo's
Haneda Airport, Osaka's
Kansai Airport, Nagoya's
Central Japan Airport,
Hakodate, Kushiro and Seoul. Asahikawa Airport is located 15 minutes outside of
Biei and one hour outside of
Furano by
bus.
By trainFrom
Sapporo, take a
limited express train in direction of Asahikawa, get off at Takikawa and transfer to a local train to
Furano (2 hours, 3520 Yen by unreserved seat). Note, that service between Takikawa and Furano is somewhat infrequent.
During the
lavender season there are also several direct limited express trains between Sapporo and Furano in the morning (4170 Yen one way), returning from Furano to Sapporo in the evening.
From Asahikawa, there is about one train per hour to
Biei (30 minutes, 530 Yen). About every second train continues from Biei to
Furano (1 hour, 1040 Yen from Asahikawa).
By busChuo Bus operates ten direct
buses per day from
Sapporo Station to
Furano, taking two and a half hours and costing 2,100 Yen for the one way journey.
By carThe fastest way to access
Furano from
Sapporo by
car is by taking the
Doo Expressway to Takikawa (about 80 kilometers, 2,250 Yen tolls for normal car) and Route 38 from Takikawa to Furano (about 55 kilometers, no tolls).
Orientation Four municipalities, namely
Furano City, Nakafurano Town, Kamifurano Town and
Biei Town, make up the area commonly referred to simply as "Furano".
Because attractions are spread over the region and public transportation does not provide convenient access to many of them, a
rental car is the recommended means of transportation to explore Furano and Biei.
Cycling is also an attractive way of getting around, but note that distances between the towns are not to be underestimated (e.g. over 30 kilometers from central Furano to Biei) and traffic quite heavy during the high season.
