Stayed for 3 nights on 7/8, 9, and 10. It was such a cozy B&B with a great view. The breakfast was rich and delicious. The cantaloupe was super sweet. The landlady was very nice and she had a cute donkey. There is a very close secret path next to the B&B that leads to Futian. You can see mountains full of lavender, poppies, rapeseed flowers, and birch forests... This year the lavender bloomed earlier than last year. I came just in time, and the lavender was in full bloom. If I came later, it might not be as beautiful. If I come again next year, I will choose to stay in this B&B again. Recommended for travelers who love self-driving travel 😉

The European style cabin B&B has been open for nearly 30 years. Although the equipment is not new, it is clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. The staff are friendly and willing to assist guests. There is a cute little donkey who is loved by relatives and loves to scratch his back. There is a tree-lined small hotel nearby. You can take a walk to Tomita Farm to enjoy the flowers.

The restroom on the first floor is a bit inconvenient. The walls are very thin and you can clearly hear the speech next door, so you dare not speak at a normal volume. I'll be woken up by a donkey in the morning. Very close to the lavender garden, the location is more convenient. But there are few places to eat dinner around, so you need to drive near Furano Station.

Taiwanese people come here to play and like it very much. The host's service is great! All kinds of thoughtful things without being overly intrusive.Mainly country style. Although the bathroom is shared, it is large and kept very clean.The attic room can accommodate up to three people. You don't need to turn on the air conditioner, just open the windows for ventilation and it will be super cool.I highly recommend breakfast, coffee/bread/omelettes/sausage, the taste is quite delicate.The best thing is the bread! Soft Q is powerful.The price/performance ratio of this hotel is really high. If you are driving yourself, it is very suitable for you to stay here. But if it is mainly based on public transportation, it is less recommended.

I stayed there in February while skiing. There happened to be a festival going on during my stay, and the owner invited me, and although all the guests other than me were from overseas, we were able to enjoy the festival together. Even though it was our first time meeting everyone, we had a great time. All the staff were kind and conversational, and what can I say, it was a relaxed atmosphere where we were close and felt like a family, rather than the management and customers. It's a place that makes me want to come back again when I come to Furano!

I liked it so much that I wanted to travel again to stay at this pension. Located in the nature unique to Furano, it is the perfect place to spend some time in peace and quiet. Not only the nature around the building, but also the building itself, the rooms, and the attached cafe area were all cute and had a wonderful antique atmosphere, almost like something out of a fairy tale.I had a single room, so the room had a single bed. It's spacious enough for a single woman, and it's clean, including the bedding. The bathrooms and restrooms in the common areas were also thoroughly cleaned and very clean.The owner (probably) also had a friendly atmosphere and was very kind. I made a reservation for breakfast only, but when I contacted them over the phone the night before to add dinner, they happily agreed.Both dinner and breakfast were ample and delicious.

There are trails in the back to walk to Tomita Farm, where breakfast and dinner are delicious. The starry sky at night is so beautiful, and the donkey is so cute!

That night happened to be the annual Furano Fireworks Festival, and I watched the fireworks for a full hour from the B&B. I was super lucky.
