SCOUT REVIEW

Yama No Oto is a stylish five-bedroom villa in Furano’s Kitanomine area, offering plenty of space, excellent mountain views and an easy walk to the slopes. It’s a particularly good choice for families or groups who like the independence of a private home without feeling removed from the ski action.

The villa can be booked as one large property or divided into two self-contained apartments. Yama No Oto A has two bedrooms, while Yama No Oto B has three. Each has its own kitchen and living area, making the setup flexible for smaller groups or families travelling together who still appreciate a little privacy. Booked in its entirety, the villa provides five bedrooms and two separate communal spaces.

Guests rave about the attention to detail—heated floors, plush bedding, and thoughtful touches like handmade ceramics and local teas. The communal lounge is a cozy space for relaxing after skiing, with large windows overlooking the snow-draped forest.

Both kitchens are fitted with quality Miele appliances, so the villa works well for groups planning to self-cater. There’s no restaurant or breakfast service on site, although several Kitanomine dining options are within walking distance and Furano town has a much broader selection a short drive away.

For skiers, Yama No Oto offers quick access to the slopes of Furano Ski Resort. It’s not ski-in/ski-out, but only a short drive or shuttle ride to the lifts. Ski storage and drying facilities are available, ensuring your gear stays in top condition. After a day on the mountain, guests can unwind in the hotel’s indoor bath or enjoy a drink by the fire.

Yama No Oto is all about calm comfort, refined simplicity, and genuine Hokkaido warmth—a wonderful choice for travelers who value style, serenity, and authenticity in their ski holiday.

WHO SHOULD STAY HERE

Couples and design-savvy travelers seeking a peaceful, boutique stay close to the Furano slopes. Ideal for those who appreciate refined comfort and local hospitality over resort bustle.

Yama No Oto is located in Furano’s Kitanomine area, approximately 150 metres from the ski lifts via a short, flat walk. Ski hire, ski school and several restaurants are also within easy walking distance. Furano town, with its wider choice of restaurants, supermarkets and shops, is a short drive away, so a car is useful for evenings out and exploring the surrounding area but isn’t necessary for getting to the slopes.
