Find hotels in Photo Gallery Oka-No Shashin-Kan

Biggest letdown was lack of wifi in the room. Even though it only available in hotel lobby BUT the speed is very slow, unable to access many sites like facebook & instagram to load photo. Quiet hotel, great for ski traveller as it located just beside the gondola to bring you to mountain top. Had a ski school operating in the hotel too. Not much food selection around hotel area. need to travel out to town for more options

"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!)

Staff were very kind and helpful. English was limited but it didn't matter as they were willing to go out of their way to help. Onsen was the only shower facility no private shower. Got a massage from the lady who advertised on the notice board and it was wonderful. Good value clean room in a great location. We had a car so it was easy for us to get around. Not sure about public transport. Beds were comfortable in the western style room, not too firm. There is a restaurant and also a small cafe. Free coffee machine available to guests.
