Find hotels in Alpine Visitor Center

""3 star price with a 5 star service and facility" As you see my profile history i dont usually wrote much about hotel review, but I feel i need to do at least this much to share with you about Hotel Naturwald. I visited Furano on 23rd March - 31st March. There are 2 ski zone in Furano which is "Kitanomine zone" and "Furano zone" which were about 5mins drive between one another . My friend reccomended this as this is just right in front of Kitanomine ski chairlift, and to my dissapointment when i reach i found out that Kitanomine zone is closed for the season, i have no idea why because the weather is still amazing during my whole trip and its snowing on daily basis . Well anyway upon checking in "Kita-san" the manager there greeted me and told me that there is a FREE shuttle bus provided from the hotel to Furano Zone up to 5 different timing daily , start as early as 8.30am ( chairlift and gondola starts at 9am and ends at 4pm during my visit ) and there you go, my problem is all solved, what a delightful news it was to me and thats just a start of all my memorable experience there . Well anyway to make it easy for you readers, i'll break it down in different category . DIRECTION "If you're arriving from New Chitose International Terminal, proceed to 2F (second floor) on the left hand side there's a whole counter of different bus company that will bring you to all places you want to go, to niseko, sapporo town, rusutus,kiroro etc . Find "Hokkaido Resort Liner" counter there and book your preffered time slot, i took the 5.50pm timing that time as my flight reached about 3.30pm, please always give yourself 60min at least due to unexpected long wait on luggage claim and immigration clearance. It is highly advisable that you book your bus scheduled online , there's a few departure time depend on your preference. here's the link for your reference http://www.access-n.jp/sp/ The bus will cost about ¥3900/- one way, it took about 2hour30min and it stop EXACTLY in front "

"It was a pleasant surprise that I found this hotel. Had planned a last minute trip to Hokkaido for skiing and decided on Furano because Niseko is all full. To be right at the ski resort, you should take Prince Hotel or New Prince Hotel. Undoubtedly expensive but its very convenient. You literally walk out of your room and you go ski. Stop anytime you want, come back anytime you want. But they were fully booked. I found the next best thing -Edel Warme. They provide a shuttle bus from the hotel to the ski resort daily. But the timing is not frequent yet it is very reasonable. Check with the hotel about this. There is a direct airport express to the hotel available that cost 4000 yen per pax one way. The whole journey from Chitose airport is about 3 hours but it beats all other ways of transport. There are shops outside the hotel but getting to city centre, you need a taxi. The staff is friendly and polite but they simply can't speak English well (some almost zero!) "

"This was a very nice place to stay, at a reasonable price. Room was fantastic, with kitchenette (microwave, stove top, sink, refrigerator, plates, knives forks & spoons, and cooking pots & pans), nice shower room, seperate toilet, & comfortable area for personal hygiene or makeup. Room safe, TV (I could cast to it from my phone, but most default channels were japanese), table & chairs, a recliner lounging chair. For all guests there was a free wifi, free washer dryer, & a nice Japanese style public bath (nice and hot). There was a scheduled shuttle bus to the ski slopes during the day, and a few shuttle runs in the evening to the center of Furano (railway station). There was a lounge near reception, where most late afternoons or evenings there was some activity (I didn't use much, except for one night doing sake tasting), and a restaurant, which I used only once given a range of restaurants available nearby. Ski locker was good. Hard pillow, but I never asked for a soft one."

"Cheap and good, very basic place for a good night sleep to freshen up and continue with traveling. Clean as well. Toilet is shared and is located at the basement. Best to have a car."

"Nice awesome place to stay in Furano. Had to take a taxi to the hotel from JR Furano station, as shuttle bus doesnt stop by North Country. Cost about 1200Yen from the station to North Country. You can book ski materials from the hotel itself. "

"This is my third time going to Furano snowboarding and the hotel totally surprised me! It’s so cozy, modern and minimalistic, with very attentive and helpful staff. The room was clean and big, more than enough for our board bags and luggages. The bar/common area on the ground floor is a good place to chill and drink at night. There are also lockers for ski/sb gears at the entrance of the hotel, just convenient. If you go Furano for skiing, this hotel should be one of the best choices for a comfort rest after a day of riding. The Kitanomine gondola is around 10mins walk up the slope (or 2mins drive, the hotel has free parking space too), and there’s a 24hrs 7-11 nearby. Simply bravo! "

"I travelled Hokkaido just a few weeks ago for 9 days, and I must say that among all hotels I've stayed in, this was the best accommodation I've had! Furano was an easy favorite, and this hotel even made it more appealing to me. Their shuttle service is for FREE, operating until 6 PM. It can pick you up to and from JR Furano Station, then bring you to Ningle Terrace and back, and I guess even the supermarket. In any case, the location is great as it is a few steps away from the Kitanomine Gondola bus stop / Furano Snow School and very near a lot of food options, which is real great if the temperature goes negative. The staff are very warm and friendly, and they even drive you themselves to wherever you want to go, as long as it is before 6 PM. A lot of them can speak good English too. The room was very comfortable and spacious for one, free breakfast was great, AND, it had an ONSEN facility, which was really awesome after a half day of skiing and double digit negative weather. :)"
