Tucked away in the national park, Auberge Ninguruforet is a group of lodge sets surrounded by nature in Biei. Free WiFi is provided in all area.

There is a private bathroom with bath in all units, along with free toiletries and a hairdryer.

We loved this place it was a lifesaver! I had initially booked for just 2 nights and was staying in the city of Sapporo near Ondori park before then, it was a nightmare, from our hotel to finding parking alone terrible experience. My husband and I had to leave immediately and we called Auberge Ninguruforet to see if we could extend our stay and it was the best decision, we loved how accommodating they were to take us in at such short notice. We were so happy, our first night here was a complete transformation of our moods, after having endured such stress. The location of the property, it is truly the most beautiful town in Japan! The cabin so cute and cozy! It was just so perfect!! We got to relax and unwind enjoying the view and did some sightseeing at our leisure which was all so conveniently nearby. We had dinner and breakfast on our lastnight and it was simply delicious and so beautifully prepared. Words can’t begin to describe how truly happy we were with our stay here!

Rooms come with a personal attendant service, and feature a tatami-mat floor, a seating area with chairs and a coffee table, and traditional futon bedding. Amenities include an LCD TV, a fridge and yukata robes. The attached bathroom offers toiletries.

Men's outdoor onsen was outstanding. My partner says the ladies outdoor onsen is disappointing.

Located a 30-minute drive from JR Kamifurano Train Station, Taisetsuzan Shiroganekankou Hotel offers 8 public hot spring baths and free Wi-Fi at the lobby.

Air conditioned rooms feature an en suite bathroom, a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Each comes with free toiletries, Yukata robes and a green tea set.

Excellent location by the falls and the Blue Pond, easy access, as well as for visiting the area. We had a car but if you request ahead of time they have a shuttle. This is an older traditional inn with a great open-air bath. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, all works well. Staff is friendly and helpful, spoke some English. Price is reasonable. Food was ok. We were a little worried because of negative reviews but then it was a good surprise! We would definitely go back and recommend this hotel.

    I wish I could have stayed longer at Yumoto Onsen Hotel. It is classy but also comfortable, a great combination for relaxation. I particularly liked the sitting in the outdoor onsen at night surrounded by rock and snow, soaking in volcanic water listening to the blue Shirogane Waterfall, magical!

    Bigger than normal hotels because it’s a villa, the tatami beds were comfy.

    The hot spring is good! We enjoyed the hot spring facilities, wearing yukata and the dinner spread is acceptable. It is very near to the beautiful Shirahige waterfalls. Shuttle bus is provided from the Biei Station - just remember to pre book with the hotel.
