SCOUT REVIEW
Private House Naturwald, Furano combines the freedom of a private vacation rental with the cozy warmth you’d expect in a Japanese ski town. Located in Furano’s Kitanomine area, it’s just a few minutes from the ski lifts and village hub, making it a practical and comfortable base for exploring one of Hokkaido’s most scenic ski resorts.
The house offers generous living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and lounge — ideal for relaxing after a day on the slopes. Guests appreciate the convenience of having multiple bedrooms, modern bathrooms, and in-room laundry, which makes it especially appealing for families or groups traveling together.
While it doesn’t offer the services of a full hotel, the self-catered setup gives guests flexibility to set their own pace. You can cook your own meals, store gear easily, and enjoy privacy that hotels can’t match. The atmosphere is homely and peaceful, with views of Furano’s snowy landscape adding to the sense of retreat.
Skiers and snowboarders will love the proximity to the Kitanomine Zone lifts — just a short walk or drive away. From there, you can access Furano’s famously well-groomed runs and deep powder stashes. Off the mountain, restaurants, rental shops, and convenience stores are all within a few minutes’ reach.
Overall, Private House Naturwald is a fantastic choice for travelers who want the best of both worlds: independence and comfort close to the heart of Furano.
