And footage shared on social media in the early hours of this morning showed the 26-year-old in the airport getting ready to fly to the UK from Itami Airport.
"I'm excited and I'm going to do it. I want to get results. I want to grow," Furuhashi told Yahoo Japan. "Scores and assists. I've always wanted visible results this year, so going to Celtic doesn't change.
"I have to establish my position in a new team, so I'd like to focus on that first."
Furuhashi will arrive in Scotland with a terrific goal scoring record and a host of admirers including former Vissel Kobe teammate and Barcelona hero Andres Iniesta as well as Antoine Griezmann.
