The room layout and size

The host Jun treated us extremely well, was unbelievable helpful and considerate. Breakfast was always something to look forward to and he offered to cook an evening meal on request. The place is very peaceful, but without a vehicle you need to walk 20 minutes to the ski resort, where ski lockers are available.

Not much, maybe food

Location and Hospitality

Stayed in February 2024

The room doesn't have much free floor space, but we only bought a smaller bag each so it was ok. Our room also had a loft area, which could be used as a third sleeping spot, or an area to lay out larger luggage.

For those nervous about the shared bathrooms: we never had to wait to use the shared toilets (two for men, two for women), or the shared Japanese style bath, which is kept quite hot and perfect after a day of snowboarding. In fact, we preferred a spacious, common bath to a small private bathtub/shower. I also recommend opting for breakfast, it's very good, and at the end, the host brings you a pot of fresh herbal tea. There's also a shared ski storage room, which is very useful.

Owner is nice, but he can't speak English, cause some misunderstand. I arrive early before check in time, and need to use restroom at lobby, he didn't allow us for using because it is not check in time. So I felt a bit disappointed. Overall he is very nice. I understand him, it is the policy.

Lobby is nice, good view

It would be better if one end of the bed is against the wall.

Dinning room

There are no microwave and wash basin in the dinning area.

The room is comfy.

Take note that the bunk bed ladder for the 3 ppl room is really high and can be scary for some people to climb up. The location was also slightly further from the town area, around 15 min drive but near Ningle Terrace (which doesn't have much tbh)

The owners were very friendly and nice. They gave us corn (which was very sweet!) while we were chilling in the common room at night. The common room had snacks and water for free and was very comfy. We also enjoyed the public Japanese-style family bathroom, with a hot bath to soak in after bathing. Pillows and bed were comfy and we had a good night's rest (:

Superb Friendly host

Stayed in July 2023

The rooms and bathrooms are honestly a little spartan. But they are scrupulously clean. The bath towels supplied are really too small

Lovely breakfast with delicious freshly baked scones and green salad picked from the owner’s vegetable patch. The breakfast room was large, airy and restful

It is not super kid friendly. the room was a little warm for my liking.

The Man that runs the place goes above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of.

If you don’t have a car then don’t stay here. It’s a 30-45min walk into town or a 15min walk to the closest bus stop (which was unreliable and had super irregular times anyway). Unfortunately there’s no microwave and no facilities to prepare your own food. This made it very difficult at dinner time, as there are no shops or restaurants accessible on foot. You could hike to the New Furano Prince hotel for the expensive dinner buffet, but even then it would be a 15/20min walk. This accom is a bit isolated. We went in winter for skiing, under the impression that the ski lifts were walking distance. It ended up being a 20min hike through ankle deep snow along the side of the road (with all our equipment) extremely exhausting, especially at the end of a day of skiing. If you don’t have a car and want to ski, you’re better off staying in the main part of town (kitanomine gondola side)!

Lovely and kind host. Beautiful common area with a fireplace.

Lovely heartwarming place to stay. We were there with a heavy snow. Mr.Jun the owner has been eager to help with everything. He gave us some ice cream to enjoy spending time in the common area before bed. And prepared lovely breakfast for us in the next morning. Everything was homemade and so yummy. The location might be good for those with own cars.

No amenities, small, not kids friendly, out of the way, not worth the money.

Slightly near to Ningle terrace

It’s not so easy to reach by public transport, but if you are driving, I highly recommend you to choose this place.

The building is warm and beautiful. The owner Jun also very friendly and helpful.

Very sweet place, and in walking distance of the ski lift. the people running the place were very lovely and really helpful - they even offered us some of their homemade ice cream and it was amazing!

June was a very helpful host and his service was fantastic. It’s a cute little pension and we will definitely stay there again if we’re in the area.
