Furano and Biei are popular bases for family trips, with easy access to lavender fields, the Blue Pond, Shikisai no Oka, Asahiyama Zoo, Furano Ski Resort, and more.

The region is also known for its thriving agriculture, offering local vegetables, pork, dairy products, and wine. It is also well suited to stays where you pick up ingredients at supermarkets or farmers’ markets and enjoy them while relaxing at your accommodation.

Sightseeing spots are spread out across Furano and Biei, so traveling by car is generally recommended. Since many days may be spent outdoors from morning to evening, multi-night stays are much easier when your accommodation makes it simple to eat in, do laundry, and prepare for the next day.

For this reason, when choosing where to stay, check not only sightseeing spots but also everyday convenience: enough space for larger groups, ease of getting around by car, parking, and nearby shopping.

Here are three points to keep in mind when choosing a comfortable base for families or groups in Furano and Biei.

*Apartment hotels and entire-home rental accommodations may require consecutive-night stays, such as two nights or more, depending on the facility or season. Available accommodations may also vary by travel period and length of stay, so be sure to check the booking conditions.

This article focuses on apartment-style accommodations and facilities suited to longer stays, but if you are traveling with family and want to prioritize hot springs or the convenience of staying near the station, standard hotels can also be an option. Here are two facilities that are not apartment-style accommodations, but are also popular with families.

This natural hot spring resort hotel is located in Nakafurano Town. Its appeal lies in the open-air baths overlooking the Tokachi Mountain Range and the large public bath where guests can enjoy 15 types of baths, perfect for family trips that prioritize hot springs.

There is also a wide variety of guest room types, including Japanese-style rooms, Japanese-Western rooms, maisonettes, and rooms with open-air baths, and the hotel also has a kids’ space, shop, and restaurant.

This hotel is conveniently located about a one-minute walk from JR Furano Station. It is handy for those who want to use the area around Furano Station as a base or who want to get around without using a car.

With a calm space based on the themes of “nature” and “relaxation,” the hotel also has a restaurant and spa facilities, allowing guests to spend time leisurely after sightseeing.

If you are staying at an apartment hotel or entire-home rental in Furano and Biei, check not only the accommodation’s facilities but also whether ingredients and daily necessities are easy to buy nearby. The sightseeing area of Furano and Biei is wide, and many travelers get around by car, so easy shopping is directly connected to comfort during your stay.

The area around Furano Station is especially easy for shopping. Restaurants and food supermarkets are gathered here, and at Furano Marche, a complex commercial facility popular with both locals and tourists, you can browse local vegetables, processed foods, sweets, light meals, and more all in one place.

There are also food supermarkets such as Ralse Mart Furano Store and Ralse Mart Furano Asahi Store, so if you are staying around the station, it is an area where it is relatively easy to manage even without a car.

On the other hand, the areas around Furano Ski Resort and suburban entire-home rentals have the great appeal of feeling close to nature. However, many accommodations are some distance from supermarkets and restaurants, so it is best to arrange for a rental car. If you buy ingredients, drinks, children’s snacks, and other items together on your arrival day or on your way back from sightseeing, you can enjoy a relaxing meal in your room at night.

If you are staying in the Biei area, make good use of supermarkets and convenience stores around Biei Station.

・Super Chain Fuji Biei Store (open until 9 PM)
・DZ Mart Biei Store (open until 8 PM)
・7-Eleven Biei Sakaemachi Store (open 24 hours)

This area is easy for picking up ingredients and daily necessities before or after heading out to places such as the Blue Pond, Shikisai no Oka, and Asahiyama Zoo.

In the Furano and Biei area, there are not as many restaurants open late at night as in urban areas. Consider planning meals by style: eat out at sightseeing spots or in town during the day, then cook for yourself at the apartment hotel at night.

We introduced in this article ten apartment hotels and hotels recommended for family trips and group trips in the Furano and Biei area.

To fully enjoy the Tokachi Mountain Range, rural landscapes, lavender fields, the Blue Pond, and more, check not only the accommodation’s location and room size, but also the kitchen, washing machine, parking, and shopping environment.

Choosing accommodations where you can buy local ingredients and enjoy them in your room, or do laundry after sightseeing, makes multi-night stays much more comfortable.
Since the number of accommodations with large guest rooms and entire-home rentals is limited, early reservations are recommended during the summer lavender season, winter ski season, Golden Week, and other peak periods.

Choose a base that suits your travel style, and enjoy the kind of stay that only Furano and Biei can offer.

To enjoy a smooth and stress-free family trip around Furano and Biei, securing your transportation is essential. Navigating unfamiliar winter roads or hauling heavy luggage on trains with children can be exhausting.

For international travelers, booking a private chartered car or a direct airport transfer is the ultimate way to travel in comfort. Skip the crowds and explore Hokkaido's stunning landscapes at your own pace with a professional English-speaking driver. We highly recommend booking these premium services early, as they sell out quickly during peak travel seasons!
