Pension Young House in Furano

For the price, unbeatable. Location right in front of the ski lift. Has everything you could need. Could slightly improve on cleanliness but once again, was much cheaper than other options in the area. We used the onsen just next door in the big hotel. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Don't expect too much from the conditions here. But the owner was very polite and provided free luggage storage after we checked out, which really helped us a lot (it would be difficult if we moved everything to the coin locker at the ski resort).

Practical Stay.

Conveniently located just a short walk from the Kitanomine gondola and bus stops, Pension Young House Hotel offers a practical accommodation option for travelers exploring Furano. During my recent stay, I found the hotel to be clean and well-suited for budget-conscious travelers, although it's worth noting a few considerations.

The hotel features communal bathrooms and toilets, which were adequately maintained and kept clean throughout my visit. While towels and a hairdryer were not provided, guests have access to a coin-operated laundry facility, albeit requiring a significant number of 100 yen coins for drying.

In terms of amenities, our room was basic but comfortable, equipped with a TV, couch, and small table. Although we didn't use the TV during our stay, it was a nice addition for downtime. The owner was friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to use the shower before our departure, though the shower facilities are only available between 3 pm and 11 pm.

One aspect to note is that the hotel does not offer breakfast. However, there are numerous dining options in the surrounding area, providing plenty of choices for guests to explore local cuisine.

Overall, Pension Young House Hotel provides a practical option for travelers seeking a clean and convenient place to stay in Furano. While it may lack certain luxuries and breakfast options, its proximity to transportation hubs and nearby dining establishments make it a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers. Just be prepared with plenty of 100 yen coins for the laundry and keep in mind the limited shower hours.

For the price charged ~3500 yen/pax/night, this stay deserves 5 star. No frills price means you don't get hotel services and amenities as everything seems to be run by the boss who will help you if you need something. i.e. hair dryer, new sheets. Everything is clean and works. My partner said the male toilets are a little stinky, but the female toilets and baths are clean.

It's right next to kitanomine gondola and has a dry place to store gear. Because it has some history, the noise insulation isn't great (can hear the kitchen noises or people talking along the hallways).

Owner is a nice guy!! Just misunderstood by the other people review, he let me check in early with no hassle and didn’t need a name or passport or any paperwork just sent me straight up it was fantastic! The place is nice for what you pay for obviously no 5star hotel but it’s comfortable and cozy rooms are actually quite big! (Bigger than a hotel) would stay again :)

This place is a low budget pension and for what we paid in comparison to the prices of other accomodation in the area its good value for money.
Right at the foot of the kitanomine ski fields. There is a ski hire place right down the road about a 3 minute walk called goodsports.

The place has its pros and cons.

There is a share fridge which allows you to go into town and buy food from the 2 supermarkets about a 20-25min walk. There is also a 711 down the road about a 10 min walk.

Microwave next to the fridge. And a sink to do washing up and a range of cutlery and plates for meals. microwave is the only heating option.

The japanese style bathroom left something to be desired with shared bathing. But when in rome. We planned bathing otherwise fairly early or late and didnt end up having to bath with others and could just have a quick shower.

There is a bus stop just outside the pension in front of the kitanomine fields. This has a route to and from the furano JR train station. There are limited services. About 1 hour between buses.

Overall its a decent pension and we didnt have any issues.
