This was such a great stay! We had the 風 cabin and, while it was a bit of a walk from the parking lot, it was very enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed the bug warning posted in the bathroom. A large bottle of water was provided in the fridge, the tatami made the room smell great, and the futon was so cozy. Having the large windows in the cabin brought a lot of good lighting and made it feel even cozier. The provided luggage carts helped a bunch in navigating stuff over the narrow, patchwork pathway. It would help to pack on the lighter side so you have less to cart back and forth. When we were returning from a grocery run around sunset, a couple of foxes crossed our path! Shirogane Blue Pond is a short 15-20 minute drive so you can totally beat the crowds in the morning, too. Just remember to stock up on food supplies before you get here!

There aren't any deal breakers but if/when we stay here again, I'll try to remember these things: I don't think there are any streetlights on the main road and the entrance/driveway is easy to miss and very gravelly. Also, bring your reading glasses when you go to check in and check out-- the screen's text is kinda small!

We loved this place it was a lifesaver! I had initially booked for just 2 nights and was staying in the city of Sapporo near Ondori park before then, it was a nightmare, from our hotel to finding parking alone terrible experience. My husband and I had to leave immediately and we called Auberge Ninguruforet to see if we could extend our stay and it was the best decision, we loved how accommodating they were to take us in at such short notice. We were so happy, our first night here was a complete transformation of our moods, after having endured such stress. The location of the property, it is truly the most beautiful town in Japan! The cabin so cute and cozy! It was just so perfect!! We got to relax and unwind enjoying the view and did some sightseeing at our leisure which was all so conveniently nearby. We had dinner and breakfast on our lastnight and it was simply delicious and so beautifully prepared. Words can’t begin to describe how truly happy we were with our stay here!

As the pictures show, there are multiple cabins scattered around the property. Our cabin was one of the last ones on the property. It was clean and comfortable.

There are multiple types of cabins listed and it was difficult to understand what I was reserving when I did. For example, pictures of the booking shows an outdoor bath and others show a mini kitchen. Neither were available to us, which wasn't a big deal, but slightly disappointing in the end.

Beautiful wooden cabins tucked away in the forest. If you’re looking for a place to stay that is near the Blue Pond/Shirahige Falls/Tokachidake, I recommend staying here. It’s very peaceful and is hidden from the main road, though you may need a car to access it. The cabins are lovely and very private. They have windows overlooking the trees, where you can watch birds in the early morning. The owners are very welcoming, and provided complimentary tea and biscuits in the cabin. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you for hosting us!

I really like the outside bath and the size of the room. I was worried because in the photos it doesn’t look spacious but once I got there is was really big. The room exceed my expectations and if I am ever in the area I’ll like to rebook.

The instructions to heat up the water tub was kinda hard to understand. So one the second day I didn’t use the tub.

We really enjoy environment of mountain. Enjoyed to take a walk near by house with snow, my kids espcially loved it.

Name of room type is different from booking.com and hotel. It was written "Villa" and "Standard Villa" in the booking.com. However Villa is same as preminum villa in the hotel.

cute wooden house with tatami quite close to city and sightseeing farms if you drive

cannot drive our car inside to load and unload luggages it was raining bad when we left so we got sweaty and wet from carrying the luggages

We loved the location out near forest areas. The cabin was very spacious.

There was no dining table which made it a little uncomfortable to eat meals.

Secluded out in nature, but still close to Biei and other towns!

Tatami beds on the “floor” can be pretty rough, if you are not adjusted to those kinds of beds.

Lovely and spacious place. We had a lovely stay. Loved the outside bath too.

I think the rental of cutlery, pots and pans should be included in the price.
