Country Houses in Furano

This was a delightful stay! The owners have been extremely helpful (explaining how to book ski lessons for the kids in advance, ski passes...dropping us off in the morning and picking us up from the ski area) and welcoming (letting the kids have a try at the piano). This has given us the opportunity to stay in a relaxing and quiet place, out of the hustle and bustle, beautifully decorated and appointed, with some relaxing music & a magnificent view of the snow on trees and houses outside, while making the most of skiing opportunities. The food offered by Naoko was delicious and amongst the best we have had in 3 weeks. For us this meant a careful balance between Japanese to please the parents and comforting for the kids. It all felt very homely. Some have commented that quantities are sometimes small - we have always had more than enough, were offered extras and felt comfortable asking more if needed. We have also found that the price / quality ratio of the food in comparison to hotels was second to none: freshly cooked, beautiful products. I have to admit that I was initially a bit worried to stay 5 minutes car ride away from the ski slopes with the children and we stayed a couple of days closer the first few nights just to get settled. But looking back, I would stay at Ituka every night. We have loved staying there and would recommend to anyone who like some respite after a long day of skiing.

The cottage was lovely - extremely homey and very warm in the winter. The owners were also very nice. Very clean and provided all the necessary appliances for our stay (washing machine, stove, cutlery, cooking utensils, etc.) The wifi was very fast too, and the television was great as it comes with youtube and other streaming services.

Cozy house with almost everything one would need. It comes with an outdoor tent sauna and drum bath that was a memorable activity in the winter snow. Sato was a very friendly and helpful host who helped with meals and preparing the drum bath.

Owner is friendly and helpful

The host and her family provided a delicious breakfast at our request. They also had a very cute pet cat and the other guests were all very kind and helpful.
