SCOUT REVIEW
Hotel Munin in Furano strikes the perfect balance between modern Japanese design and cozy mountain retreat. The property has a sleek, boutique feel — minimalist interiors accented with wood tones, soft lighting, and clean lines that create a sense of calm. It’s a refreshing choice for travelers looking for something more intimate and design-forward than the larger resort hotels in the area.
Just a few minutes’ walk from the Kitanomine Zone lifts, Hotel Munin’s location makes it easy to get on the snow early and return for an après-ski drink at the stylish bar before dinner. The hotel’s staff are exceptionally welcoming, offering great advice on local restaurants, ski rentals, and conditions. Breakfast is a standout — freshly prepared and showcasing local Hokkaido ingredients that set you up perfectly for a day on the slopes.
Rooms are compact but thoughtfully designed, with comfortable beds, large windows, and efficient use of space. It’s not a luxury resort, but the attention to detail and quality make it feel special. While there’s no onsen at Hotel Munin, several hot springs are nearby, and staff can easily arrange transportation.
For those skiing Furano, Hotel Munin offers an excellent base — stylish, well-located, and infused with genuine warmth and charm.
Who should stay here
Ideal for couples or solo travelers who value design, comfort, and a quiet yet convenient location close to Furano’s Kitanomine ski area.

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.
