Great stay at Fenix Furano in the off season (October). The rooms are international standard with a kitchen and living area, plus a comfortable bedroom. The tub and shower are also excellent and everything is brand new and spotlessly clean. I imagine the rooms here will be very expensive during ski season, as one of the Furano lifts is right in front of the hotel. In October, the room I had was an absolute bargain!
The only issue with my stay was that there was no breakfast available at the hotel. However, the sister property around the corner had a cafe that was open from 7:30 every morning.
Having your own car will make stays here more convenient. Getting in to Furano for restaurants and shops is about a 10-minute drive. There are some places to eat within walking distance of the hotel, but the better places in Furano are down in the town.
