SCOUT REVIEW

Tsuru Apartments Furano are a favorite among savvy ski travelers looking for comfort, flexibility, and good value in one of Hokkaido’s most scenic resorts. Located in the Kitanomine area of Furano, these modern self-contained apartments offer a warm and welcoming base just minutes from the lifts and the lively après-ski scene.

Each apartment at Tsuru is designed for convenience and relaxation, featuring spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and laundry facilities — perfect for families or groups staying several nights. The interiors are simple yet inviting, with clean lines and a mix of Japanese and Western touches that create a cozy home-away-from-home atmosphere.

What sets Tsuru Apartments apart is the friendly, hands-on service. The hosts go above and beyond to help guests arrange lift passes, rental gear, and local transport. Their local knowledge adds a personal touch that makes a big difference, especially for first-time visitors to Furano.

While the apartments don’t offer on-site dining, the nearby restaurants and izakayas in the Kitanomine village make it easy to sample local cuisine — from Hokkaido ramen to hot-pot favorites. The ski slopes are within easy walking distance or a short shuttle ride away, and the property’s location allows quick access to both ski zones when snow conditions permit.

All in all, Tsuru Apartments deliver an excellent blend of space, comfort, and local charm — ideal for those who prefer independence without sacrificing hospitality.

WHO SHOULD STAY HERE

Families, couples, and small groups seeking self-contained accommodation close to the Furano ski slopes with warm, personal service and great value.

SCOUT CUSTOMER REVIEWS

You were right! Hiro is great! staying here for a total of 9 nights really made a comfortable stay for us with ability to experience grocery shopping and preparing our own meals (with some Japanese twists of course). The apartment was modern, and had great heating which is something that lacked at various other places. The location of the apartment made exploring some other ski areas (Ashahidake and Kamui) besides just Furano accessible even without a car rental (we managed public trains and buses with our day trip gear). However, next time I would probably rent a car to seek the powder stashes which we were pretty self sufficient to get to anyhow. Everything you recommended in your Furano field guide was spot on and we managed to check out several places and can see why you included them! - Meghan, Scout Customer 2018

Tsuru Apartments are located in Furano’s Kitanomine district, about a 5–10 minute walk or short shuttle ride to the Kitanomine Gondola. The village’s restaurants, ski rental shops, and convenience stores are within easy reach, and a bus stop nearby connects to Furano Station and other resort areas.
