New Furano Prince Hotel

Hokkaidō


The nicer of the two Prince hotels offers comfortable, classy, though not terribly stylish, rooms, decent restaurants and efficient service – all at the base of the Furano Ropeway. It's also got a few neat quirks, like the Ningle Terrace outdoor craft centre and a coffee house and lounge bar down a path in the woods.

Note that while children 12 and under get free lift tickets to the ski resort, those aged seven and above are charged the adult rate at this hotel. Book through the Japanese site for better rates.

The bus from Asahikawa Airport to Furano terminates here (¥930, 80 minutes), making this a good choice if you don't want to drive.
