From Asahikawa Airport to Furano

By car (Rent a car)

“Nissan Rent-A-Car” and “Toyota Rent-A-Car” have a reservation desk inside the airport to let you get ready for a fun drive as soon as you land here. Since Asahikawa and Furano are in the same district you can drop off the car in Furano with no extra charge. Booking recommended during busy summer season.

The route from the airport to Furano is very simple. Just hit the Rt.273 straight down to Furano. Bunch of lovely tourist spots, lavender fields, rolling hills, museums, galleries and such, are located along the way. You will experience bumper to bumper condition in Mid June lavender season.

We do not recommend driving during winter when streets are covered with ice or snow (or both). Extremely poor visibility will be brought by occasional snow storm. There a couple of passes to drive over on the way as well. It does take a practice to  drive in Hokkaido in winter.
