The location is near the ski chair-lift, and it is walkable even during the winter months.

It is within walking distance of Lawson or other supermarkets and eateries; it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the nearest Lawson. It tends to get dark early during winter, and navigating around to find restaurants is challenging. We could do simple cooking at the apartment, and Chalet Fuyuri provides all the necessary items for us to do so. Frozen spinach, eggs, broccoli, crochet and pizza are some items we prepared. The dumplings are fantastic. The eggs are fresh. The instant ramen is tasty. Alcohol is affordable.

Check-in is straightforward. Chalet fuyuri is literally right at the corner of Kitanomine, so you'd have to drive into the gravel path off the main road a bit to reach there. Not our first stay here, though this is our first summer stay. Came back here because of how tucked away it is, yet situated at a vantage point overlooking Furano. It's a cabin-in-the-woods experience so both winter and summer will offer a peaceful and quiet stay. The kind where you feel comfortable staying in on a rest day.

Could use a smart tv really so that we have access to international programmes. Or, a tv that allows english subs.

The accommodation was a self-catering two-level apartment in Japanese style arrangement with bedroom and toilet on the ground floor. Polished wooden floors, entrance has a step up, take off outdoor shoes and wear provided slippers. Pyjamas provided in closet. Plenty of storage space and small lockable safe in closet. Desk located in bedroom. Living room, kitchen, laundry and typical Japanese style bathroom upstairs on the first floor. Access is via stairs with a hand rail. Quiet location with plenty of light through windows and doors. Outdoor balcony on both floors with views over the city. Kitchen was well equipped with toaster, electric cooktop, microwave, kettle, rice cooker, fridge freezer. However not enough space to place them when needed. Enough crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Very good cooling and heating on both floors. Laundry was equipped with top load washing machine with translated English instruction card and detergent. Good complimentary WiFi service. Good TV reception with BS and CS channels. Found a couple of English programs but sadly News channels were dubbed into Japanese. A folder and brochure with local information was provided. Parking space was always available.

Entrance approach from main road to the property was unsealed gravel surface with a few potholes so be careful not to damage car when driving into the property. Although the location was quiet and peaceful, we could hear sounds from apartment next door when people dropped things and walked heavily. No toilet upstairs so need to go downstairs when required. Totally self-catering so must bring own supply of food and drinks, none on site. It can be a little isolated without your own means of transport. Nearest convenience store (Lawson) is about 15-20 minutes walk away.

We loved the proximity of the slopes We hired three of the 5 chalets, all had their own entrances and so were great for 3 groups of 4 people. The sitting room area meant all 12 of us could meet and eat together. Would highly recommend if skiing in Furano. To get to the main supermarkets in Furano you need a car. We managed perfectly by hiring one car and most of the group getting the airport shuttle which stops fairly close by

This place is fantastic. We rented two two-bedroom apartments and were delighted with the space, facilities and location. It's so close to the lift station and the centre of Kitanomine and you can get late checkout for a very reasonable fee if you want. We've stayed in a large number of hotels and apartments in resorts and this is outstanding value for what you get.

It would have been great to have a larger area for drying our equipment.

For Japan this property was really spacious, more than expected. 2 full service bathrooms, 2 large bedrooms, a large living area and pretty good kitchen. Really clean, great location, easy access and parking.

Only a couple of small things that are relevant to family stays. Kitchen facilities are ok for 2 people, but a family of 4 or big group would be limited when cooking at home. Certainly a big group would struggle without a dishwasher (the single sink made washing dishes a messy experience). The TV didn't allow for us to use our Streaming Services, making it unusable (As to be expected, all TV services are in Japanese). Having a more modern TV would allow a better experience for international visitors.

Underrated. Love that it is tucked away at the corner of the ski zones, overlooking the entire furano. Beautiful balcony view, spent a lot of time there just looking at the town and embracing the silence. Loved the occasional bell that chimes across the quiet town too. It is a walking distance (2-3 mins) to Kitanomine Ski Zone. So if you are heading to Furano in Jan-Mar (when KSZ is open), Chalet Fuyuri is the best value as compared to other accomodations in the area. Driving into Furano is recommended to get the best out of the stay.

The dry and wet toilet is not on the same floor. But it was the least of our concern really as we are abled adults. You might want to take this into consideration if you are planning on bringing seniors or less abled persons, however.

It's a fuss free apartment, good for large families. Good communal space. However only one toilet (common for nanny Japanese accomodation), but had two baths. Easy check in and check out. Cleaning lady comes every day 10am to bring out the rubbish and replace the bath towels. Very close to the slopes. Will stay again!

I like everything about this accommodation. Well designed, well thought through to provide comfort and convenience to the guest. Nice long bath. Within walking distance to the ski area. Friendly staff who try their best to help. They provide free shuttle when I arrived/departed.

Staff has basic understanding of English, so we used WhatsApp to communicate (so she could use an online translator). They charge JPY2200 by the hour if you wish to check out a little later.

Chalet Fuyuri is very close to the ski field and was the perfect base for our Furano holiday. The apartments were beautifully appointed (we had 3 out of the 5) which meant a great night's sleep. We ate breakfast and lunch at Chalet Fuyuri each day (could almost ski/board to the property) and walked to a different dinner venue each evening. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
