8,4/10 Excellent - Based on 14 reviews
A true haven of peace nestled in the heart of Furano, the Furano Hotel offers visitors an enchanting setting blending mountains, lush gardens, and absolute relaxation. Its thermal baths and stone sauna allow for deep rejuvenation, while the art gallery dedicated to Hokkaidō artists adds a unique cultural dimension to the experience. In winter, ski enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated room, and in summer, the terrace and garden invite a reconnection with nature. With its relaxing massages and impeccable service, this ryokan in Furano promises a harmonious and invigorating stay.
Refinement and comfort characterize the rooms offered, where every detail has been thought out to provide a welcoming and functional atmosphere. The large bay windows allow for the admiration of Furano’s magical landscape while enjoying modern furniture and a comfortable seating area. The glass-enclosed bathroom, equipped with a bathtub, completes this experience of elegance and intimacy. The facilities also include a teapot and a flat-screen TV for optimal comfort.
To enhance your stay, the Grand restaurant offers Japanese cuisine both creative and authentic, with Western touches, served in a family-friendly atmosphere. The Glass bar, on the other hand, offers a selection of non-alcoholic drinks and beers for relaxing evening moments. Nearby, a variety of local restaurants, such as the renowned Furano Wine House, allow you to taste the region’s specialties in a warm setting.
Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 An overview of the ryokan reveals a mix of authenticity and modernity. The baths offer a notable experience with a beautiful view, but the rooms and decoration blend with modern elements. The meal highlights local products but slightly lacks the expected kaiseki refinement.
