Furano Zone

Shin Furano Prince Hotel

For those who want hotel meals, onsen and a walk in the forest close at hand.

Base: Furano Zone
Slope access: A base for skiing the Furano Zone. Think of it separately from the move to the Kita-no-Mine Gondola.
Rooms: Check room size, number of beds and view by room name. The photo is an example of a room type shown.
Baths & facilities: Furano Onsen Shisai-no-Yu. Mori no Tokei and Ningle Terrace are also nearby.
Winter transport: Station to hotel: about 12 min by taxi or 17 min by local bus.

Shisai-no-Yu admission depends on whether a bath ticket is included in your accommodation plan. The twin-room photograph is an example with a green-season view. Compare extra bedding, meals and bath admission on like-for-like booking terms.

Do not assume every category has a kitchen; match the Penthouse photograph to the room booked. The dining site retains 2025–26 winter information, so confirm current operation and meal inclusions.

05 / TRAVEL NOTES

Two nights, enjoying snow and your stay

This is a model plan. Swap days to suit event dates, transport and booking conditions.

Arrival day | Walk the area where you are staying

Leave your bags and confirm the next morning's entrance and rentals. If you go to Mori no Tokei, allow time for opening hours and waiting, and make your dinner reservation too.

Ski day | Don't try to do both zones

Build the day from the lesson meeting point. Check whether the link course between the two zones is open, and beginners should look at the difficulty of the way back on the trail map.

Last day | Dinner in town, or another half day on the slopes

First check luggage after check-out, bath use conditions and transport to the airport or train. Choose the half day to suit your departure time.
