I loved the bath room, it's almost like a mini Onsen. The owner is very helpful and kind. He doesn't speak English but uses a translator app and is eager to help. If you let him know the night before he will drive you to the ski field at 0830. A taxi home from the ski field costs between 1500-1800 yen (about 17 dollars AUD). The location is right in the middle of down town, very near a lot of amazing food places and bars. The JR rail and bus terminal is a 5 minute walk away.

The owner was very friendly and used a translator to communicate. He will take you to furano ropeway at 8:30am if you ask the day before. Everything was kept very clean. Close to the station & restaurants. Good, clean hot bath at the end of the day.

You have to make your own way back from the slopes at the end of the day (bus was limited). No common room.

Traditional style Ryokan accommodation, very warm, clean and comfortable room. Much more fun and less expensive than ski resort accommodation. The owner very friendly and helpful. This place was close to the station in older part of town, some distance to the ski area but there are reliable local buses, plus the ski rental guy in town 'K-sports' is happy to do drop off and pick up if you rent with him ..

The owner is friendly and arranged and picked us up at the train station when we arrived The stay is very comfortable and the Inn is very clean and cosy. Share facilities are clean, and everything was labelled with clear instruction. There is vending machine, fridge, and microwaves for use at the lobby areas. The location itself is good and can easily access to the JR station, restaurant and convenient store.

No.

The room was spacious and the facility has everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay as it was close to Furano station and other establishments.

Fortunately, I have no negative comments about the place.

The owner is nice. He only speaks Japanese but we understood him and can speak easy Japanese so we were fine but if you want anything and don't speak Japanese you may need to use google translate. The hotel is only about a 10min walk from the station and there's a Convenience store Seicomart nearby and also a drugstore near the station. Its a quick walk into the centre of town. The owner will drive you to the ski resort every morning. He will take your room rubbish bin out each day. You get yukata in your room. Bathrooms are downstairs separate for men and woman. It’s a shower room with a bath. Spa Bath is always filled and covered so like Onsen you wash then go in the bath. You use it privately and lock the door. Toilets are shared in hallway and sinks are also in the hallway. There is a ski/board room downstairs and you keep your boots in your room in trays. The town is not too busy and you can walk around and find restaurants easily.

Whilst the owner drives you to the resort each day he doesn't pick you up so you have to catch the lavender local bus back. Check times on google maps but they don’t come super often. He doesn’t drive you back to the station when you check out either. No room cleaning, not that I mind that, I don’t, but replenishing the tea after use would be nice. We only got 1 day worth of tea. No bath towels in the room you have to hire from the owner. The futons are kind of thin and the bean pillow is terrible but we folded up a blanket and used that as a pillow which was actually really comfy.

Location and big room.

No air conditioning, so in hot day it is very hot in the room. Only 1 bathroom each for male and female. And bathe time is restricted to certain hours only.
