Biei, Hokkaido Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"This is a great slope-side location. The hotel gives a 90's retro vibe. It's comfortable and as a single travel I felt very secure and taken care of. The room was large. The hallway was quiet and the mattresses and pillows soft (which isn't always the case in Japan.) It's a little isolated from the outside town, so when the restaurants on the top floor close later in the season, I felt the lack of dining options. The bakery is fantastic and so is the Ningle Terrace. "

"Great hotel"

"One of the best, if not the best hotel on my 3 week trip to hokkaido. Large room, big balcony, friendly and kind staff, quiet, great walking area, very close to train station, excellent breakfast, would stay again for sure"

"No place to eat after 9:00"

"Just a really good stay, we really enjoyed it. Spa on the roof, very clean place, breakfast was a separate fee but it was delicious, parking across the street and in the parking garage connected to the building was convenient and cheap."

"The La Vista Furano is a lovely hotel, with a great location, and a fantastic spa. At the 9th floor public bath, you can choose from indoor or outdoor hot pools, warm pool, cold pool, sauna, and water massage. Also on the same floor are massage chairs with a view of the ski resort and the mountains, and complementary ice cream. The buffet breakfast is excellent, with western, Japanese, and some Chinese options. Rooms are very comfortable. Service is excellent as well. Overall a great place, that I would come back to."

"The hotel offers Kamui ski link free shuttle bus to the ski hill. Complimentary drinks every night of your stay. Hotel vibe is chill and lively. Lots of local Japanese also come to this hotel in addition to international visitors. They have the advantage that the ski resorts do not have, restaurants are abundant and lots of choices nearby. Wait time is needed but not bad. Advise to arrive before 6 pm to get a seat. Overall a very good hotel considering the size of our double twin beds and storage of all luggages under our beds make the room spaces. Only one small thing is that the hpusekeeping some days forgot to replace dirty cups. "
