Shin Furano Prince Hotel

The staff was outstanding!!! From Frint Desk and Bell staff to management. Sushi in the restaurant buffet - outrageously good. 5 Stars!!!!

This is a great slope-side location. The hotel gives a 90's retro vibe. It's comfortable and as a single travel I felt very secure and taken care of. The room was large. The hallway was quiet and the mattresses and pillows soft (which isn't always the case in Japan.) It's a little isolated from the outside town, so when the restaurants on the top floor close later in the season, I felt the lack of dining options. The bakery is fantastic and so is the Ningle Terrace.

This hotel is a resort at the base of the ski mountain. The hotel itself is old. Hasn't been updated in a very long time. Some of the dining options were closed and the ones that were open were big, impersonal, dark, and smelly. We did really like the onsen, and the skiing was excellent. Despite advertising other activities like snowshoeing and cross country skiing, this facility is really only for downhill skiing and snowboarding. If you don't have a rental car, you're more or less stuck at the hotel with the exception of an hourly bus that goes into the unremarkable city of Furano. We were there in March when there was significant snowfall. Presumably in summer, things are much livelier. Mayonnaise.

The Furano Prince was a nice ski-in ski-out location, albeit a bit pricey. It is a bit isolated and while there is an evening shuttle to town which is great, you have about 1 hour to eat if you wish to take the shuttle home. You can get taxis once in town, but they are limited. The ski lockers are convenient and can store 2 sets of skis or boards. The restaurants are very nice and have great food, but dinners are expensive. The staff was attentive, and there were enough English speakers to assist you, sometimes it takes finding the right person. If you're going during the winter, take a set of shoe spikes, as it was extremely icy when walking outside. The room was nice, a bit small for a longer stay. Be sure to take your own coffee, as while they serve it at breakfast, there is none in the room or the on-site store.

Green walking trail and nice wooden shop

The location was away from the town and other facilities so having transport is essential. The room was OK but not spacious. The breakfast did not have a lot of variety for the western palate and did not seem to change. Staff were helpful.

山の中のホテル。団体が多かった。売店があり便利だった。もう少し安価な食事の選択肢があると良い。

Dinner buffet is excellent especially crab. This place is very beautiful and so relax.

Good resort for ski and snow play area for kids. Cafe and souvenir shop also walkable from resorts.

Beautiful ski in and out property but there is not much of a town. Transportation not convenient. A taxi ride into town was about $33.00 round trip.

This is a ski in ski out property. It is of high standard for ski accommodation which you pay for. The food is expensive but very good. The hotel is usually very busy and crowded with waits to get into the dinning room. The onsens are excellent.

Great stay

The hotel itself was great including the breakfast buffet, but the town was where you needed to catch a bus to get to and you paid for each bus ride.

The lobby was impressive and staff friendly and helpful. Room was a little dated but clean and big. Buffet dinner was generous and okay tasting, breakfast was better. The onsen was very good and relaxing. The ningle terrace was overrun by huge tour groups who come in bus load. As a hotel guest, we had the luxury to visit after 6pm, where all the tour groups had left. But almost all shops ate closed by then, so it is really more for purpose of photo-taking. Do wear goos shoes or weae your spikes as it gets really slippery and dangerous esp when there is a crowd.

The purpose of our stay was to spend several days skiining at the Furano Ski Resort. This hotel served us very well. We arrived in front of the hotel in the early evening via a direct coach bus from Chitose. After a smooth check-in, we still managed to arrange our ski rentals on G/F before the shop closed. After the boots fitting, we just headed outdoor to the rental shop to get the skis as well (Just a minute away). That's also where you could directly access the slopes. The ski lockers for hotel guests are also conveniently located on the same floor (G/F). So everything was arranged before our pre-booked dinner at Karamatsu. How nice! We could start skiing the next morning. We had previously arranged private ski lessons online. The ski school counters are also located on G/F. You wouldn't miss them. Of course, the counter for ski lift passes is there too. Very convenient. We had dinners in the hotel for three nights (Karamatsu and The Dining Room), and lunch on 12/F during ski days. Good meals. Breakfast buffet was sufficient and acceptable for us as we like Japanese-style food. Beverage variety was also good. However, the selection of western dishes might be limited in comparison. Yet the croissants, which were freshly-baked in the Dining Hall, were crispy and tasty. We didn't manage to try the Izakaya restaurant as it was fully booked. We also headed out to town for dinner one night via lavender bus in front of the hotel. Overall a satisfied for us.

Ningle Terrace is right behind the hotel and beautiful at night when it lights up in the snow. It was really easy to get to the hotel with a direct bus from the train station. The room was big and spacious, very comfortable to stay in!

All the activities around the hotel and bus stop just infront of Hotel, super convenient

No other choice of activities beside snow activities.

No transport to station No breakfast

We had a beautiful Mountain View from our room. The large onsen bath were nice. The facility and room were very outdated.
