What to do in Winter Hokkaido Part 6 | Furano and Biei

There is so much to see and do in Biei and Furano during winter! In this episode, we fed the adorable alpacas, spotted wild deers, had the most amazing snowboarding experience and visited the magical Ningle Terrace! There are so many more gems in the area that we couldn't cover them all but we highly recommend setting a good amount of time outside of Sapporo to explore this part of Hokkaido!

hhahhaa the fall!! Loved this vlog, thanks for sharing

[@shoyutheworld]

I learned that a pair of good snow boots with spikes are an absolutely must 😅 thank you for watching Georgia!

[@fridakahlua6674]

Bucket list!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@shoyutheworld]

Omg yas! Hope you get to visit soon 🤩

[@kawinnaGo2022]

What month do you travel to Hokkaido? 😊

[@shoyutheworld]

We visited on the 1st of Feb and stayed for a month. Best time during the winter as it was peak snow!

[@doralawrencia]

Hi! May I know which month did you make your travel to Hokkaido and how do you find driving there? Considering to rent a car for my upcoming travel in December but I have no experience driving in the snow :)

[@shoyutheworld]

Hello! We filmed this when we were there in for a month in Feb 2023 and it was our second time driving during winter in Japan. Overall, we find driving during the season pretty manageable. 2 crucial points from our experience that we tried to practice whenever possible: first is to keep speed limit below 50km/h and second is to allow ample rest time in between when we do long drives. Also, rental cars in Japan are equipped with snow tyres in the winter time so that gives lots of peace of mind. As long as you’re a seasoned driver in your own country, we feel you should try it while keeping safety in mind 😊 Do also note that it’s right hand drive in Japan!

Hi may i know how do i get there to and fro Furano Station via bus? Thanks!

[@shoyutheworld]

Hi! We're not sure where in particular you're trying to get to and fro from Furano Station, but presumably you're referring to Ningle Terrace as featured in our vlog 😄 From Furano Station, there are buses available that will take you directly to New Furano Prince Hotel which is where Ningle Terrace is located. There are also buses back to the station if you need. However, do take note that bus frequencies are not a lot and the last available bus in winter is pretty early in the late afternoon from what we can remember!

[@buttlebe]

Thank u so much for ur kind reply!

[@buttlebe]

Sorry for my confused question😅 I meant how to get to Ningle from Furano Station. Thank u once again!😊 awesome videos!

[@shoyutheworld]

Our pleasure, hope you enjoy Furano when you visit! 🙏🏻

@@shoyutheworld Hello, thank you for the awesome guide to winter itinerary in Furano/Biei. May I ask if hailing a taxi from the Ningle Terrace to the Furano Station will be easy (do I have to get a taxi from the nearby hotel instead)? I've checked the last bus timing departing from New Furano Prince Hotel to be 4PM, which isn't ideal as my family and I would love to stay for the night lights at the Ningle Terrace >
