Hotel Naturwald Furano

1. The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Kitanomine ski resort, just across the street. Ski rentals are available directly at the hotel, and there's a very enthusiastic young man from Taiwan who works there. The prices are also the cheapest, highly recommended. 2. Transportation: There's a direct bus from New Chitose Airport that stops right at the hotel entrance, making it a seamless journey. The bus stop for Biei and Asahikawa is directly opposite the hotel's main entrance, with a direct Lavender Bus service that accommodates luggage. 3. Dining: We booked breakfast and dinner. Breakfast has a 1-hour limit, and dinner has a 90-minute limit. Both breakfast and dinner were very rich and plentiful. Dinner even included BBQ, though the dishes didn't change daily. Beer and sake were all-you-can-drink. 4. Entertainment: The hotel offers free 24-hour beverage machines. There are also scheduled times daily for roasted marshmallows, baked potatoes, cookies, and beer time, which the kids really enjoyed. There's also a children's play area. 5. Room: We had a triple room. The room wasn't very big and was a bit dated, but the heating was excellent. 6. Onsen (Hot Spring): There are two pools, one at room temperature and one at 40 degrees Celsius. It was quiet and not crowded.

The bathroom in the room had a strong smell of urine. However, the hotel is right in front of the ski resort, which is very convenient for skiing, and ski equipment is available for rent. The downside is that it gets dark at 4 PM in winter, and there's no public transportation after 6 PM, which is inconvenient. Everything else was very satisfactory.

I chose this hotel for its proximity to the ski slopes. The price was a bit high due to it being ski season. The hotel is a bit old, and the facilities are dated. There was a slight smell in the room, and the staff's attitude was just average...

This is my first time proactively leaving a hotel review, and it's because this place is truly amazing! It's not a high-end, luxurious type of hotel, but it's incredibly cozy. They offer a wide variety of drinks, pastries, snacks, and fruits, and both breakfast and dinner are exceptionally rich and plentiful!! The onsen has both indoor and outdoor sections, and soaking in it during the cold winter was such a joy. I strongly, strongly recommend this hotel! It's perfect for a whole family stay.
