Other Asahidake Accommodation Options

Considering the lack of evening activities at Asahidake, and the frequent blizzards in the height of winter that can close the ropeway, some people prefer to stay in Asahikawa (47km from Asahidake) or Furano (71km from Asahidake) and do day trips to Asahidake when the weather is ideal. See the Asahikawa hotels and Furano accommodation pages for information on lodging options.

The advantage of staying in Asahikawa or Furano, particularly if you’ve got a rental car (or are on a multi-resort tour), is that you can also sample other ski areas and hunt down the best powder conditions on any given day. Another major benefit of staying in Asahikawa or Furano is the range of restaurants and nightlife options, as well as non-skiing activities. The obvious downside is the commute required to get to Asahidake.
