Resort Inn North Country

“Quaint hotel with a nice view”

The inn was easily accessible by car. Though the room was small, it had a mini lounging area. The toilet was a little tight. Morning breakfast spread was lovely and enjoyable. There was no lift hence not wheelchair accessibility. Perhaps the smoking room on the 1st floor could be enclosed rather than just be separated by only a curtain as the smoke permeates through the entire walkway.

“Huge rooms and delicious buffet breakfast”

We stayed at North Country Inn for two weeks as part of a Whiteroom tour. The rooms were huge by Japanese standard and the futon beds were just as big (super king?). The beds are a little hard by western standards but after a day of skiing I still managed to get good night sleeps. Rooms only have green tea so if you want anything else you’ll have to purchase in Japan or bring your own. There is a tv but it only has Japanese channels. The restaurant serves a fantastic buffet breakfast with muesli, toast, yogurt options as well as salads, curries, bacon, eggs, spaghetti bol, soups, potato wedges and breads etc. The staff that run this place are what make it. Their English is pretty limited but with google translate and hand gestures you can get by. Everyone is so helpful and always has a smile and willing to help where they can. There is a small lounge where you can sit with others but the bar doesn’t open until 6pm when the restaurant opens. There is a vending machine that sells beer and strong zero (alcoholic lemonade?) which you can drink in your room. There is a good drying room too. The location is about a 20minute walk to Furano ski field and there is a snow shuttle. There is a hotel restaurant that serves basic Japanese cuisine and if you want to venture further afield there are more restaurants about 30min walk away. Bear in mind you will be walking in the dark, in snowy conditions along a main road so you might just want to go by taxi. In summary we had a fantastic stay and thoroughly recommend staying with them.

“Hotels Catered More For Locals IMO”

Book a Japanese/Western-style Room1 with breakfast & dinner for 1 night end June. I might be biased. A very typical Japanese hotel in the way that check in is strictly 3pm. We arrived at 245pm and was told checked in is only available at 3pm. A norm in Japan hotel. Breakfast\Dinner is time slot bas… lisää

Book a Japanese/Western-style Room1 with breakfast & dinner for 1 night end June. I might be biased. A very typical Japanese hotel in the way that check in is strictly 3pm. We arrived at 245pm and was told checked in is only available at 3pm. A norm in Japan hotel. Breakfast\Dinner is time slot base, we are given 3 time slot to choose from as limited number of seats\table. Food is reasonable to us thought nothing exceptional. The hotel looks pretty popular among locals as we see mainly locals staying over. Would try another hotel the next visit. Pros: -Provide breakfast and/or dinner option. It suite us to have dinner with in the hotel as we drive from New Chitose airport to Furano after a long flight. -Big free parking space Cons: -No lift to bring you to 2nd or 3rd flow. Can be inconvenient if having bulky luggage. I known about the facts but still find it troublesome as was assigned a room at 3rd floor. -Breakfast serve till 830am only. Again is probably a norm in Japan. But i am not use to it as i am a "late" person.
