At Furano Villa, unlike at a hotel or condominium hotel, you and your friends, family or colleagues will have exclusive use of the entire property, with no requirement to share any space with others. Your holiday stay is sure to be much more relaxing, as well as secure, as a result. Furano Villa is also priced for the entire property and our nightly rates on a per person basis offer great value compared to booking several rooms at a hotel or condominium hotel. There is the added convenience at Furano Villa too, of being able to prepare the meals or snacks you want, when you want them; your options and availability will not be restricted.

Furano Villa has been designed to maximise the privacy of staying guests and is managed offsite with our staff attending daily to perform check-in and check-out services as required, and to perform the housekeeping services detailed in your booking confirmation.  Additional services may be requested and will be confirmed with you subject to availability and possible extra charge. Help is only ever a phone call away should you need assistance at any time during your stay. Our hospitality management team, Furano's highest rated, is dedicated to serving our guests and to ensuring your comfort, enjoyment and well-being.

Furano Villa is a fully self-catering accommodation, and we do not provide breakfasts or any other meals. The property has its own large, commercial-style kitchen that is fully equipped and provides maximum flexibility to guests for individual or group meal preparation. Furano Villa’s dining area is also very well appointed, with ample seating, and all glassware and tableware provided. Meal delivery services are available in Furano and information regarding these options is provided. There are also several restaurants, bars and cafes nearby, including just across the road and around the corner. Furano's township also offers many dining options.

A unique feature of Furano Villa is that every bedroom has its own private bathroom that includes a large washer/dryer. Laundry detergent is also provided for your convenience. So not only will there be no need to queue for the shower at Furano Villa, you won't need to queue to do your laundry either! Reasonably priced dry-cleaning services are available in Furano, however, longer turnaround times than you are used to at home may be required.

Hand and body soap as well as conditioning shampoo is provided in each bathroom. Please travel with any other bathroom amenities that you may require, including your toothbrush!

We have preferred service providers that offer private airport transfers, excursions, and tours, including ski, snowboard, and snow-shoe tours.  Car hire is also available locally in Furano, or at the airport when you arrive in Hokkaido. 

We will be pleased to recommend vendors of ski lesson and ski hire services but we do not provide these services ourselves. Lift tickets can be purchased at the base of the ski lifts on a daily or multi-day basis. Please note that multi-day tickets may be priced at the daily rate x the number of days required/offered, with no discount. Multi-day tickets may therefore only avoid the need to queue for tickets each day. Online purchase promotions for ski lift tickets are sometimes offered and typically we monitor these and will provide details to booked guests. You might like to know that Furano’s Tourism Office in conjunction with Furano Ski Area, offers a ski hosting service that is complimentary and provides an introduction to Furano Resort. We will be pleased to assist you with a booking.

A short, picturesque drive of approximately 15 minutes, along local country roads at the foot of Mt. Furano Nishidake, leads to Furano's postcard famous Farm Tomita and its expansive fields of lavender and other colourful flower varieties. The beauty and fragrant aroma of 'Furano Blue' lavender can also be enjoyed right outside your own front door at Furano Villa! We have planted this famous local variety of lavender across the entire front of the property for this purpose.

Furano offers some of the best back-country skiing in Hokkaido and much of it can be lift-accessed via a network of gates that will take you out of bounds of the resort. Hiking and specialty ski equipment is not necessarily required for access, but safety equipment that includes a beacon must be carried. Registering your plans with the Ski Patrol on the day you intend to go out of bounds is also required. Guided tours of these areas are also available on a 1/2 or full day basis and unless you are suitably experienced and are not skiing alone, we recommend that you only access these areas in the company of a qualified guide. We will be pleased to make recommendations.

Furano Villa has an equipment storage room immediately inside its video-monitored main entry. There is also an area where boot drying equipment is provided. Sporting equipment may not be brought into the main areas of Furano Villa, including into individual rooms; this rule applies equally to ski boots and any other type of outdoor footwear or equipment used outdoors.

No! Japanese tradition dictates the removal of all outdoor footwear at the front door and we request the strict cooperation of all guests, including all children, to remove their outdoor footwear accordingly. A large area with ample seating is provided immediately inside the entry to Furano Villa for removal of all footwear. Outdoor footwear is also not to be carried into or stored in guest rooms. Extra cleaning fees apply automatically if shoes are worn or carried inside the accommodation, and damage caused to floor areas will be charged for too. Please note that winter ice spikes for footwear, if used, must be removed before reaching the front steps of the property. Footwear with spiked soles must not be worn past the front concrete steps of the property. The cost of repairing or replacing flooring and/or steps damaged by ice spikes will be charged.

Medical services are provided via specialty clinics, or via one of the two local hospitals, one of which offers emergency services with some English language support. During COVID-19, some medical services may be subject to restrictions. Doctors do not consult on an individual practice basis as they do in many other countries, so you may be directed to an ‘internal’ or ‘external’ medicine clinic depending upon the symptoms, or to a specialty eye, skin, orthopaedic or dental clinic accordingly.  Medical, dental and related services are more reasonably priced than in many other countries and you will be required to pay for each service at the time of consultation. Physiotherapy services and/or deep-tissue sports massage services are not commonly available. Chiropractic and osteopathy services are available however, and so too are relaxation massage and Shiatsu massage services, the latter also available on a ‘call-out’ basis. There are several pharmacies/drugstores in Furano that sell over-the-counter medications and even items such as contact lens. Prescription medications are dispensed with a local doctor’s prescription and at a specialty prescription supplies pharmacy only. We will be pleased to assist with further information.
