SCOUT REVIEW
Arthouse Apartments, Furano, are a standout choice for skiers and snowboarders looking for contemporary comfort and convenience in one of Japan’s most picturesque ski towns. These modern, self-contained apartments provide the perfect base for exploring the Furano Ski Resort, particularly its Kitanomine Zone, which is just a short stroll away.
Each apartment at Arthouse is thoughtfully designed with a clean, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic — think sleek lines, natural tones, and plenty of light. The open-plan living and dining areas make it easy for families or small groups to relax after a big day on the slopes, while the full kitchens are well equipped for those who prefer to cook at home. Heated floors, laundry facilities, and free Wi-Fi all come standard, making longer stays especially comfortable.
Unlike traditional hotels, Arthouse Apartments emphasize independence and privacy. While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, guests are within easy reach of Furano’s excellent dining scene — from casual ramen joints to fine Japanese cuisine. The friendly management team can help with restaurant recommendations, ski rentals, and shuttle arrangements.
For ski lovers, the proximity to the lifts is a major plus. Guests can easily access both Furano Zone and Kitanomine Zone, depending on conditions and preferences. After skiing, the apartments offer a warm, relaxing retreat where guests can unwind, cook, and enjoy a glass of wine with friends.
Who should stay here
Arthouse Apartments are best suited to independent travelers, families, and groups who want stylish, spacious accommodation close to Furano’s slopes without the formality of a full-service hotel.

About Furano
Furano is up there with the best when it comes to ski resorts in Japan. Offering a wide variety of terrain, lots of powder, a good selection of accommodation and a relatively authentic village and nearby town, it has something for everyone and will suit a range of tastes and budgets. Furano is a good mix of Western influences and comforts, and Japanese culture. The ski resort itself caters to all ability levels and skiing preferences, from advanced off-piste and amazing sidecountry (easily accessed) to long leg-burning groomed runs. Receiving abundant snowfall each season (up to 9 metres), Furano is a perfect spot to experience true Hokkaido powder.
