The Furano Prince Hotel is one of the most convenient places to stay in the Furano Ski Resort, especially for guests who prioritize quick access to the slopes. Sitting right at the base of the Furano Zone, it’s a true ski-in ski-out property that lets you click in and ski straight from the door. The hotel itself is part of Japan’s respected Prince chain, known for consistent service and comfortable, no-fuss accommodation.
Inside, the décor leans toward traditional mid-range Japanese style—simple, clean, and functional, though not overly modern. Rooms are compact but well-kept, offering comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms, and large windows with beautiful views of the ski area or the Tokachi Mountains. Western-style and twin rooms dominate, but some Japanese-style rooms are also available.
After a day on the slopes, guests can unwind in the large onsen (hot spring bath), a highlight of the hotel. The outdoor section offers a serene soak while snowflakes drift down around you—a quintessential Japanese winter experience. The hotel’s main restaurant serves a quality buffet breakfast and dinner featuring local specialties such as Hokkaido dairy products, fresh vegetables, and seafood.
While the Furano Prince Hotel offers fewer après-ski and dining options nearby compared to other Japanese resorts, the relaxed atmosphere and direct slope access make it a strong choice for ski-focused travelers. Shuttle buses run to the Kitanomine area and Furano town, where guests can explore more restaurants and bars if desired.
