Shin Furano Prince Hotel

We had a great stay at this ski-in, ski-out resort and would definitely recommend it, especially for skiers who value convenience.||The service was excellent throughout our stay. One of the highlights was the hot spring hotel located right next to the resort, which is free for hotel guests. We used it every day after skiing, and it was incredibly relaxing. The outdoor hot spring was especially amazing — soaking in hot water while it was snowing made us feel completely refreshed and calm. The hot spring also has an excellent massage service. We were very lucky to get a spot, but I highly recommend booking massages in advance as they fill up quickly.||The food in the resort was good, though we did get frustrated on the first day when trying to make dinner reservations because everything was fully booked, yet we noticed many no-shows. By the second day, we learned to just walk in, which worked much better. Restaurant prices are noticeably higher than outside local restaurants, but after a full day of skiing, the convenience made it worth it for us. We ate at the hotel restaurant every day for breakfast and dinner. After five days, we did start to feel a bit bored with the food, but luckily it was time for us to leave.||The room itself was okay — a bit old, but clean, which is the most important thing. We didn’t spend much time in the room anyway since we were out skiing all day and mostly used the hot spring hotel for showering and relaxing.||Overall, this is a great choice for an easy ski-in, ski-out experience. If you have a car, it’s more convenient since you can drive to town. Despite a few small frustrations, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

We really enjoyed this hotel for what it is. Built in the 1980s, the architecture and room design definitely reflect that era, but despite its age, the property is well maintained and cared for. One thing we especially appreciated was the room layout—our bedroom had a separate hallway, which was perfect for storing snowboards, jackets, and boots without cluttering the living space. The bathroom is also separated from the bedroom, which added extra comfort and convenience. The staff truly stood out during our stay. The lobby and snow rental staff were incredibly helpful and kind, and the housekeeping team and restaurant waiters were consistently friendly and welcoming. Dining options include Japanese and Western set menus as well as a buffet. While the prices are on the higher side and the buffet quality is decent, we were very impressed with the Western restaurant—everything we ordered there was extremely tasty. We also made use of the onsen. I can’t speak to the men’s experience, but the women’s onsen was quite crowded. Even so, it was still relaxing and enjoyable. One of the biggest highlights was how convenient the location is for snowboarding—the lift is right at the hotel, making it incredibly easy to get on the slopes. There’s also a bus that takes you into town or to the airport, which is helpful, though worth noting that it isn’t always on time and can sometimes be canceled last minute without warning. Overall, this hotel offers comfort, convenience, and great service, especially for a ski-focused trip, and we’d happily stay here again.

PRO: Perfect location esp. if using public bus (lavender) since the bus route terminates at the hotel & stops at all transportation terminals (e.g. airport, bus, train, etc.). If staying at the hotel, onsen is free and relaxing after a day of activities. Ticket is affordable (6,6K-8K jpy adult). Rooms are comfy, clean & well-stocked with amenities (e.g. toothbrush, shampoo, towels, fridge, etc.) & has a nice view. Staff are friendly, helpful & polite. There are shops to buy souveniers, snacks, etc., restos & rental inside the hotel. If included in your booking, hotel buffet are delish. The 4 elevators (same location) are efficient. There is a bus schedule & ticket booth at the lobby. Other activities besides skiing/snowboarding are offered at the hotel. CON: If not included in your booking, food can be expensive. Getting to the onsen is not straightforward. There is not really much of a night life to speak of. RECOMMENDED: Highly recommended if wanting a relaxing & fun weekend at Hokkaido.

My family and I were in Hokkaido for a vacation, and chose this hotel because of its ski resort. This hotel is absolutely amazing, the accommodations were lovely, the food was great, the onsen was nice, and the ski resort was superb. One thing I love about this hotel is that they have a variety of cuisines and restaurants, rather than just one fixed restaurant for all guests. The ski resort is a must to visit, as it is absolutely phenomenal. The view from our hotel room was also amazing. Overall amazing experience!

Shin Furano Prince Hotel is definitely worth the price for the overall experience it offers. The hotel has several restaurants with good menu selections, though it’s best to make reservations in advance to secure your preferred dining time, especially during peak season. We thoroughly enjoyed the snowmobile experience, and there are plenty of other activities available at Snowland for guests who want to make the most of winter in Furano. Although we didn’t try skiing this time, the ski facilities are well set up and would certainly be an experience worth trying. One of the hotel’s biggest advantages is its accessibility. A local bus route starts and ends at the hotel, making it very convenient to travel to Asahikawa, Biei, and JR Furano Station without hassle. Ningle Terrace is located just outside the hotel, and this was one of the main reasons we chose to stay here. Being able to visit Ningle Terrace both during the day and at night is something you simply can’t do on a day tour from Sapporo, and it truly adds to the charm of the stay. Overall, it was a great stay that combines comfort, convenience, and unique winter experiences in Furano.

The room was clean, warm, and comfortable — perfect for the cold weather in Furano. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it felt cozy and well taken care of, which made the stay relaxing.The staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in was smooth. The location is convenient if you’re exploring Furano, especially for winter activities. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby, and getting around the area was pretty easy.Overall, it’s a simple, comfortable, and good-value place to stay. I’d happily come back again on my next trip to Furano.

We had a pleasant one-night stay at Shin Furano Prince Hotel during our week-long tour of Hokkaido. This cosy resort hotel is set on the mountain slopes of Furano Ski Resort, surrounded by beautiful forests and natural wilderness. Just next to the hotel is Ningle Terrace, a charming artisan village of rustic wooden shops, which creates a picturesque and romantic atmosphere for an evening stroll and shopping. Our twin room was reasonably spacious, very clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was served buffet-style in a large banquet hall, offering a good variety of dishes. Service throughout our stay was friendly. Overall, we had a delightful stay and would recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Furano.

Booked 2 rooms for 3 nights stay at this hotel. Quite far from the airport, thus we checked in quite late. They don't have room service, so my kids are quite hungry. To eat at the restaurant, we need to book beforehand using QR code, but we just checked in. ||Staff are not helpful at all, they all have bad attitude. I think the hotel motto is 'take it or leave it'. Checked all the restaurants at the hotel, only set menu are available that costs ¥130k-150k per person, which is insane. Buffet restaurant close early. They don't provide any vegan or vegetarian options too. Breakfast have same menus everyday, boring and not good. Egg station cook never made our order even we ordered twice.||No convenience store nearby, only at the lobby, but very expensive. Unhelpful concierge staff. They said they were short staffed, so can't help with our luggage when check in and check out, and yet I saw they just stand there and chatting while looking at customers pushing luggage trolley, very helpful, they work with their eyes.||They have onsen, and need to pay taxes even if you don't use the onsen. Ski facilities, kids winter games and the famous ninggle terrace is right behind the hotel.||Overall, not happy, inflexible, not worth the money. Too many issues for a short stay. Very Not Recommended.

Lavender Ice Cream is awesome!!! No visit to the Furano area would be complete without a visit here.

We stayed at New Furano Prince hotel last week for one night while visiting Furano. The staff was extremely friendly and the lovely girl at front desk spoke English very well! I wish I remembered her name. The hotel itself is extremely large and is really a resort. We had a nice large room (by Japan standard) with a view of downtown Furano. Our room had two twin beds and a couch that could serve as a third bed. The location was ideal as it was a quick 10 minute drive to downtown. The hotel has many amenities like the onsen, Ningle Terrace, park golf and a garden just to name a few. The onsen was great and was never crowded. Two sets of onsen attire were provided in our rooms for our use. There is an indoor bath, outdoor bath, sauna and cold pool. Instructions were clear and in English if you are not familiar with onsen behavior. Please be aware that many onsen do not allow you to enter if you have tattoos. The onsen was well kept and very relaxing after a long day of walking. We enjoyed walking around Ningle Terrace, an area filled with cute shops in little cabins and a coffee house. The outdoor atmosphere was so relaxing and you could hear the birds chirping and water trickling down the stream. We also enjoyed an early morning walk and saw a couple going up in a hot air balloon! How fun! It looks like New Furano Prince has many activities for their guests to enjoy. We also booked an in room massage! The front desk girl helped us set up an appointment. How wonderful to get a massage in the comfort of your own room. No frills, just a good massage for a great price. We did not eat at the hotel breakfast buffet, but did grab some pastries at the bakery before we hit the road. Get the Furano Melon pan! Oh so good! Check out was a breeze and we have no complaints about service. The only thing I could ask is they update the rooms a bit. The rooms were very clean but could definitely use some updating. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay!
