The room is spacious and the futon beds were very comfortable. The shared bathroom facilities (sink, toilet, shower) were also very clean and availability was not a issue at all. It is about a 10 minute walk from the station and is close to many restaurants and convenience stores/supermarkets. The owners were also extremely kind and helpful!

Be aware that the bathroom facilities are shared. The noise isolation of the rooms also isn't the best so you can hear people in the hallways (when using the sinks for example).

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 ..

Hospitality was wonderful As a family of 5 with children, we love Tatami mat rooms, as we have some extra room in the day when the beds are put away It was very clean and tidy

Not bad for us - but it is a Japanese guest house - toilets and showers are shared

Love this place, Akiba san is a nice person and will do everything to help you. Located near the station, not far from restaurants, there's a shuttle service in the morning. Large and warm room

limited amount of toilet/bath is not a problem but when the place gets crowded you might have to wait.

Very cozy, traditional minshuku with good facilities for storing ski equipment. A simple location but walkable to good restaurants and izakaya in town.

A little more storage space for clothing in the rooms would have been beneficial. We had to have our clothes on the floor or still in our bags instead.

Not far from the station, walking distance to restaurants and seicomart. Clean and comfortable place. Kind owner who provides 1 way ride to the ski station but you have to find your own way back after.

One shared bathroom so you'll have to take turns using it.

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.
