SCOUT REVIEW
Shochikubai Furano is a standout in the growing range of boutique accommodations in Hokkaido’s famous ski region. This modern property combines the best of self-contained comfort with the feel of a private alpine retreat. With sleek, timber-accented interiors, large windows, and warm lighting, Shochikubai’s atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between contemporary Japanese design and alpine coziness.
Located just minutes from Furano’s Kitanomine Zone, the property offers quick access to some of Hokkaido’s best powder skiing while keeping you close to Furano’s charming town center.

Each unit features a modern kitchen, spacious living area, and washing facilities—perfect for longer ski trips or families wanting home-style convenience.

The staff are known for their warm hospitality and practical local advice—whether you need to book lessons, arrange lift passes, or get the best tips for off-piste adventures. After a day on the slopes, returning to Shochikubai feels like coming home—quiet, refined, and relaxing.
For skiers who value design, comfort, and independence, Shochikubai Furano hits the sweet spot between a hotel and a private alpine hideaway.

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.
