Editing Furano Ski Resort (section)

===Buses===
A bus route operated by Furano Bus Systems known as the Lavender Express runs between [[Asahikawa Station]], Asahikawa Airport, and Furano Station. The transit time from Asahikawa Station to the ski area is around one and a half hours. From the airport it takes roughly seventy minutes, and from those coming up from the town below, it is ten minutes from the train station. There are also direct routes running from various hotels inside the cities of Asahikawa and Sapporo, however these only run during the winter months. The Northliner, an intercity bus operating between Furano and [[Obihiro]], stops at {{Nihongo|Kyokai Byoin|協会病院}}, the large hospital in the heart of the city. A bus from Shimukappu also runs, however it avoids the ski resort area altogether, only going as far as Furano Station.
