Getting in Furano by Taxi
Taxi
You can get a taxi in front of Furano JR Station all year round. Taking a taxi might be a good idea to get around the area for those who are not confident enough to drive, especially during Winter, or for a busy traveler. There is a minimum charge of 530YEN and then 260YEN per km. (410YEN per mile) will be added after that. They offer an hourly hiring system without booking for passengers who want to visit tourist spots efficiently; 8,100YEN for 90 min, 10,800YEN for 2 hours, 16,200YEN for 3 hours and 21,600YEN for 4 hours.
