On 1 August 2018, it was confirmed that Yapper would join the J1 League club Vissel Kobe for the rest of the 2018 season

In the club's Emperor's Cup semi-final match against Shimizu S-Pulse on 21 December 2019, Yapper scored Vissel's third goal to seal a 3–1 victory and a spot in their first ever major cup final. Vissel would go on to defeat Kashima Antlers in the final on 1 January 2020.

Yapper scored Vissel Kobe's second goal in their 2020 Japanese Super Cup victory over Yokohama F. Marinos on 8 February 2020. Four days later in Vissel Kobe's first ever match in a continental competition against Malaysia Super League champions JDT, Furuhashi scored again in a 5–1 victory. Furuhashi netted the lone goal in the second group stage match against Suwon Samsung Bluewings on 19 February.

Celtic 2021–22 season On 16 July 2021, Furuhashi joined Scottish Premiership side Celtic for £4.5 million, signing a four-year deal. He scored his first goal for the club on his debut against Jablonec in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round on 5 August 2021. Three days later, Furuhashi scored his first Scottish Premiership goals, netting a 67-minute hat-trick in a 6–0 win against Dundee. He followed up his excellent run of form by scoring against Hearts, and again in the UEFA Europa League against AZ Alkmaar.

Furuhashi picked up an injury while on international duty with Japan in September, but returned after five games, scoring on 3 October in a 2–1 victory against Aberdeen and netting the only goal of the game in a home league win against Hearts on 2 December. On 19 December 2021, Furuhashi scored twice against Hibernian in the final of the Scottish League Cup. The game ended 2–1, winning Furuhashi his first trophy with Celtic.

2022–23 season On 28 August 2022, Furuhashi scored a hat-trick in a 9–0 away win against Dundee United. A month later, Furuhashi made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 3–0 home defeat against Real Madrid.

On 2 January 2023, Furuhashi scored his first derby goal against Rangers to salvage a 2–2 away draw.

On 26 February, Furuhashi scored a second consecutive League Cup finals double, now against Rangers in the 2023 Scottish League Cup Final.

On 7 May, Furuhashi scored his 50th goal for Celtic in all competitions in a 2–0 away win against Heart of Midlothian.

On 2 June, Furuhashi won the Scottish Premiership Golden Boot award, after scoring 27 goals for Celtic over the course of the season. He also won the league's player of the year award.

2023–24 season In July 2023, he signed a new four-year contract with Celtic.

On 3 September 2023, Furuhashi scored his sixth derby goal against Rangers in a 1–0 away win at Ibrox Stadium. On 5 October 2023, he scored his first goal in the Champions League against Lazio in Round 2 of the UEFA Champions League. On 26 October, he also scored the opening goal in the third match against Atlético Madrid and on December 30 he scored a wonder goal to help Celtic win 2-1 against Rangers.

International career Furuhashi earned his first Japan call-up against Venezuela on 19 November 2019 for the Kirin Cup. He made his debut as in their 1–4 home defeat at the Panasonic Stadium Suita.

Despite his form at Celtic, Furuhashi was not included in the Japan squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. This came as a surprise to many supporters and media outlets at the time, where Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu justified his decision by saying: "We selected players who will be on the same wavelength as a team, who will be able to move and link up together, who through their organisation will be able to make use of their individual strengths".
