Shochikubai is the only luxury self-contained holiday house in the area, which promises you a comfortable stay in its spacious floor design. The house is 270 sqm and features stylish contemporary Japanese decor. Unwind by the fireplace looking out of the French windows, where foxes and squirrels often visit. The Japanese tatami entertainment room is the perfect way to experience Japanese comfort. It stands in a well-appointed residential neighbourhood yet is still a stone throw away from the slopes.

I am more than happy to recommend your services – absolutely excellent!!! You are a delight to book through. Shochikubai was superb – beautifully maintained and presented. As you know this was our second stay and it was as good as the first. Mr Tatsumi was very courteous, willing and prompt with regard to any of our requests. The wildlife outside our picture window day and night amused us greatly. Furano is a great resort for those who prefer an authentic japanese experience but don’t tell anyone because I would hate to spoil it with multitudes of visitors!! There is a fabulous cheesecake shop barely 50 metres from the house – yum!! Well done Hisae! Have attached some photos – not very good I’m afraid – too busy living the moment!!
Cheers Sally J :)
