Hotel berhampiran ぶどう園, Furano

Finally got to Furano for the first time after 9 days in Nisko and Rusutsu. Happy to say that the resort, mountain and snow was very good and we will definitely be back. The hotel rooms that we had, double king superior where excellent. Small Japanese bathroom but did the job easily. Very comfortable. breakfast was a 3.5 / 5 but still good and recommended. The Onsen was the highlight. One of the best male and female we have been to. Very chic... Staff were very very good and helpful. Ski rentals in house also. Location from town and to resort was terrific. We used he free hotel shuttle each day but mainly walked down the hill back which was a 10-minute walk. (...you could have skied) A lot of good restaurants in each direction of a ten-minute walk.... I'd stay here again for sure and will when we go back. Good value for money and facilities. Hope this helps....

My family stayed this hotel for 2 nights. This was our 1st time visiting Furano. This hotel is beautifully located on the top of hill with a nice view of the area’s hills from our room. There is Lawson in walking distance if you need to grab a quick foods or drinks. Our 2bd room was spacious with full kitchen and living room. For American tourists, there is very helpful English speaking hotel staff including the general manager. All staff were very friendly and thoughtful. My family really enjoyed staying at this hotel and would like to return when we have a chance.

Highest praise to this inn’s fantastic staff, specially Carla, Sigi, Yuki, and Amana! They went out of their way to make our stay pleasant: booking cabs, helping us book a bus tour (Japanese only website), and always accommodating. Their English was very good, so communicating was easy. Thank you! This is not a hotel: it is an inn, and the room is more a bedroom in a house, but charming. Breakfast is good, with the main course plated; no choices (so don’t expect a buffet). What was a nice surprise was a daily late afternoon cocktails (they call it “welcome drinks”) which lasts until late in evening, and includes whisky, wines, juice, and yogurt milk. And daily free coffee (espresso type) which was particularly good! The free shuttle pick up and drop off when you check in and check out is very useful, and saves you the price of 2 cab rides (approx US$22). Be warned on Furano Station: no elevator, so you need to climb up then down steep stairs to get to the platform! Not easy with big luggages! Negatives: while room was charming and large by Japan standards, the bathroom was tiny, so if you are a plus size, you bathe with your body hitting the shower curtain or wall. Location is far from everything, so you need to take cabs all the time, with each 1-way trip to the town center costing approx. US$9-10. Nearest convenience store is maybe 15mins away, and an uphill climb back. The onsen (traditional Japanese bath) is an artificial hot springs, but a pleasant experience. A charming town, and I would consider going back to this inn if I go back to Furano.

Gabriel and Neil made us feel at home. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Nothing! We had a sick baby upon arrival, and Neil drove us to the hospital which gave us one less thing to worry about during a stressful time. Both managers assisted us with bookings and groceries. The accommodation itself is perfect - enough space, laundry, well appointed kitchen (with dishwasher), and location is top notch. The only thing that could be improved is a self latching hinge on the drying room door, as we came back one day to an open door which puts the gear at risk. That said, the location is incredibly safe and so the risk would be extremely low. Apart from that, every aspect of this accommodation is perfect and sooooo easy for a family with children. The bedding is incredibly comfortable as well. My mother, who is in her 70s, commented also on the bedding. We will definitely be back. Thanks again, Gabriel and Neil :-D

Went for a few days of snowboarding. The room was clean and tidy. I would like to take this chance to thank the manager Amy again for her great hospitality. I lost my car key on the mountain and the car rental company is at Chitose airport, her willingness to help us to pick the spare key up spending hours of her time is impeccable. Our travel plan was uninterrupted in the end. I recommend this hotel to anyone who is visiting Furano.

First, the pictures attached are a little older and this Japanese B&B has been remodeled. While the location is not right across the street from the slope, it is a short walk (a little up hill, but easy) to the ski area. I liked that it was remodeled, brand new really and the other thing that was nice is I felt the room was a nice size. Normally in Japan, you get two beds and a small bathroom. My room had a nice little area for luggage, hanging clothes and things. So for me, this place was rather large. The staff (which probably is the owner) was very helpful and nice. The dry room and ski area was very nice and convenient. While I only stayed one night, I really liked the atmosphere. Breakfast was good too. I have had better at other Japanese B&B, but this was just great.

We are a family of 4 people. We recently stayed in the two bedroom apartment for three nights. The apartment is new, airy and clean. There is even a balcony. We spent quality family time together in the living room at night which is priceless. It is cosy and comfortable. The apartment provides a full kitchen and a washing machine/dryer. Because Furano is in the middle of our Hokkaido trip, the washing machine helps a great deal for our clothes. There is even an air-conditioner which works well when the temperature was high in one day. A car park right in front of our apartment provides great convenience. The apartment is located in the beautiful Shimogoryo area. It is right in front of the famous dessert shop - Furano Delice. We walked around early morning and evening. The neighbourhood is pleasant and beautiful.

We stayed at North Country Inn for two weeks as part of a Whiteroom tour. The rooms were huge by Japanese standard and the futon beds were just as big (super king?). The beds are a little hard by western standards but after a day of skiing I still managed to get good night sleeps. Rooms only have green tea so if you want anything else you’ll have to purchase in Japan or bring your own. There is a tv but it only has Japanese channels. The restaurant serves a fantastic buffet breakfast with muesli, toast, yogurt options as well as salads, curries, bacon, eggs, spaghetti bol, soups, potato wedges and breads etc. The staff that run this place are what make it. Their English is pretty limited but with google translate and hand gestures you can get by. Everyone is so helpful and always has a smile and willing to help where they can. There is a small lounge where you can sit with others but the bar doesn’t open until 6pm when the restaurant opens. There is a vending machine that sells beer and strong zero (alcoholic lemonade?) which you can drink in your room. There is a good drying room too. The location is about a 20minute walk to Furano ski field and there is a snow shuttle. There is a hotel restaurant that serves basic Japanese cuisine and if you want to venture further afield there are more restaurants about 30min walk away. Bear in mind you will be walking in the dark, in snowy conditions along a main road so you might just want to go by taxi. In summary we had a fantastic stay and thoroughly recommend staying with them.

Stayed 2 nights. Corner room has a weird configurations. Room door opens into a long hallway facing the bathroom with a sink in the hallway and the bedroom off to the side via a door. The hotel is showing age but decently maintained as much as possible. The hardware seemed typical old style Japanese hotel. We had two rooms and somehow one room gets toiletry packs with coffee and another didn’t consistently. Breakfast and dinner buffet had decent spreads but nothing impressionable. No porter service was provided.

A quiet place which is walking distance from Nakafurano JR station. Enough parking space for those who drive. Managed to get up early and saw the sunrise. Lovely. There is no restaurant in this inn but they do provide breakfast. There are convenience stores nearby to buy your food. Microwave ovens are provided. You can then choose to eat your meal in the dining space downstairs or upstairs in your rooms. Tomita Farm is straight down the road. If you walk, you take about 25 mins. If you drive, it will be less than 10 mins.
