Element is an absolutely fantastic option for those visiting Furano - only 5 minutes drive, even in the deepest snow. The highlight was the warm reception and friendly service I experienced throughout my short stay. Highly recommend this to any travellers who have the chance to visit. The scenery and seclusion around the property is perfect, if you are looking to relax in Hokkaido - this is the spot! One of my favourite places in Hokkaido.

Just to fellow travellers - if you are in one of the rooms on the top floor, the stairs are quite steep, so be aware for taking luggage up and down.

Home-away-from-home cottage that is nicely decorated with a wood burning stove to warm you up at chilly nights. Room is comfortable with just the right amount of amenities. The room has a small fridge, tea kettle, and a big picturesque window. Clearly owners have given a lot of thoughts to details. Host and hostess are the kindest couple. The breakfast is top notch: home grown veggies from their garden, professionally prepared and beautifully presented, every bite is as fresh and tasty as those expensive restaurants! Designated parking space.

The owners were genuinely lovely and kind. Such a privilege for us to enjoy their homecooked breakfast over 2 mornings, with fresh produce from their garden by the accommodation. Because there are only 4 rooms, it was very peaceful & quiet at night. We could even relax with a good book at the common living area... it felt like a 2nd home! One could sit outside, hear the crickets and gaze at the stars in the pitched-dark sky... sans light pollution :) Thank u for your kind hospitality, Ken & Chie! We wished we could have stayed longer!

Nothing, really!

Element is a very beautiful house. You can tell from the moment you enter the front door that it was meticulously designed. The view from the living room is so calming. We are Koreans who don't speak Japanese, but the couple who run Element were very kind and our lack of Japanese skills didn't bother us at all. My parents praised their kindness very much. I hope Element will stay in Furano for a long time. I will visit this place again next time I go to Furano!

I loved every bit of our short stay in Element, I wished we could extend. Everything about our stay was wonderful. The place is really close to the town centre. However, my husband and I did drive so getting there by car was a breeze. For travellers who are without a car, access can be a bit tricky though, but I think this is common for most properties outside of the vicinity of the town centre. The house was lovely. The interior, the rooms, and the oak tub that you need to reserve. The breakfast was homey and fresh. Every detail was well thought out and it made our stay memorable.

Nothing, loved every bit about our trip!

The design was top-notch. The owners were extremely friendly and resourceful. Upon arrival, they told us about the Bellybutton Festival and taught me how to get there. We’re so grateful and it made the stay more memorable. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. We really enjoyed our stay.

It’s a bit difficult to find the pension in the dark. The GPS of Toyota Rent A Car failed to take us to the pension. I used the google map instead. I’d advise visitors to study the map before the trip or the owner could consider putting a signpost near the main road as some visitors have previously suggested. When we returned from the festival, we found that the area was in complete darkness. As the pension is black in colour and there isn’t any outdoor light, it could not be seen. Luckily I read some messages left and knew I had to remember the location carefully before leaving for the festival.

Wonderful accommodation with beautiful and spacious rooms, and also very nice and comfortable common spaces too. Spotlessly clean. Delicious breakfast with ingredients from their own garden. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Short drive to lots of restaurants. Highly recommend.

Ken and Chieh are warm and helpful hosts. The place was very lovely and included homemade breakfast was excellent

It is a little out of the way and initially a bit hard to find. There is also no netflix or TV

Breakfast was served hot and we all had our own tray. Room & toilet were very clean and the whole place was nicely kept. Parking is easy ( at front of location ). Husband & Wife team, very friendly.

New, Clean, Compact hotels with modern facilities. Helpful staff with home-made breakfast.

There should be signpost and/or light from the road. It is very dark and not able to see this accommodation if you come to this place at night.
