Hotel Pemandangan Gunung di Furano

民宿距離富良野幾分鐘車程，民宿環境清潔，床單幹凈衛生，設備基本上齊全。美中不足多加一個洗碗機完美了

Honestly, I expected more from this hotel at this price. The room is ultimately small and it could barely open a 22-inch suitcase! I need to step on my companions suitcase in order to get through the corridor of the room Yet it is still a good hotel that provides private hot spring places. Yet it depends on the self-discipline of the other guest as they might stay longer than the hotel's regulation. Free ices, drinks, and lots of manga were provided at the hot spring place. There are also night soba which just don't expect the quality of it.

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.

Great service and breakfast. The hotel car park is a distance away. Pretty dark n cold at night. The hotel room is new n spacious. Only concern is after 2 days, the toilet start to smell. If possible, for daily room making , please help clean the toilet.

Pros - 1) Convenient location close to many good eateries (Kumagera, Masaya, Sennari etc), a drugmart and a supermarket. 2) Free parking (30 lots). 3) Our room (777 - where they previously filmed a Korean drama) was spacious, clean and had a great view of the surrounding mountains. 4) Service was great even though English is a tad limited. Cons - 1) TV channels are predominantly in Japanese save for BBC and 1 Chinese channel.

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.

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.

Stayed 4N at Kaku Place over he ***** New Year. We booked two 1BR apartments on different floors as they had sold out of the 2BR units. The cosy apartment had a view of the mountain and came fully equipped with kitchen, washing machine, dryer and heated towel racks. The furnishings and fittings were well maintained but the wooden floor boards showed signs of wear and stains. The bed was on the softer side. The heating worked fine but hot water took a while to heat up. Apartment came with fast WiFi and Smart TV (great for watching Netflix). The apartment had a very small closet to hang clothes. Without cupboards to store clothes we were forced to live out of our suitcases. The apartment is located in Kitanomine town and was a 15 min walk *uphill* to the lift station. The best restaurants are all located in Furano town across the river (one way ＞JPY1000 taxi ride). Upon arrival at Kitanomine town, H2 Life provided free pickup from the bus stop. On the last day, they dropped us off at the Furano Train Station. H2 also provides us with free shuttle to the lifts each morning which worked well except for 1 day when they did not turn up. Each apartment comes with its own ski locker for us to store boots, skis, bards. One evening, my daughter could not unscramble the PIN on the locker and it took us the whole night of calling H2 HQ who would then relay the message to H2 Furano. Unfortunately nobody from H2 Furano returned our calls and the locker issue was only resolved the next day.

What an awesome town Furano is and Penguin and Windy are the most wonderful and generous hosts. These apartments are very close/a short walk to the ski resort and have every feature needed for a great ski holiday, including great views of the Brodie. It is also close to several very cool bars and restaurants including a bar with a pool table and where you can drink a snake shot from shot glass attached to a ski. Thanks very much to Windy and Penguin for being such giving hosts.

We spent three nights here and revelled in the convenience to the ski fields, the fresh air and the sense of space in both the apartment and the outside surroundings. We enjoyed sightseeing. We enjoyed the coffee and bakery in the town and the views afforded at the Rokugo Viewing Platform. Nearby we found a little noodle shop which featured bar stool bench top eating and the traditional low table and sit on cushions beside it dining. This apartment is well designed, spacious and well appointed. We appreciated the ability to cook our own meals and used the dishwasher. Fresh Powder Apartments are good for walking out of season, viewing flower farms in season and skiing. We could see the chair lift and gondola but the snow fell the night after we left. Furano is such a friendly place to visit. The manager, Neil, was so helpful and ferried us to the supermarket and car hire office. The bus terminal for the airport is across the road from the apartments. So convenient. It is the first time I have ever seen three people on the tarmac waving goodbye to passengers as their plane pushed off. I can highly recommend these apartments for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
