Our hotel in the quaint town of Furano (nights 1-3)
|
|
Our hotel in Furano is the Natulux Hotel, located in the center of town next to Furano station. Our primary reason for selecting this hotel is that its walking distance to the amenities that the town of Furano has to offer. Unlike many ski towns, the Furano "resort area" is quite spread out and lacks good options within walking distance. With this hotel however, we're able to walk around town for our evening meals and to get an apres beer or two.
The Natulux is a new and clean business hotel. While rooms here are considered standard size in Japan, they would be viewed as small by western standards. The daily breakfast features some Hokkaido specialities with both Japanese and western options. The lobby area of the hotel features a sleek cafe which serves apres beers in the evenings. Stats:

Our Hotel in the port-city of Otaru (nights 4-6)
|
|
In Otaru, we stay at the Hotel Nord Otaru. This centrally located hotel is within short walking distance of the famous canal, a pedestrian avenue aptly named "sushi street", a fish market with live crabs you can order, a sake brewery we'll be visiting, and a number of bars.
Parts of the hotel have been newly renovated and feature simple, clean design but nothing particularly fancy. Stats:
