Biei Hotels with Free Breakfast

This is the first time in Japan that I can give all hotels full marks! There are very few hotels in Biei. When I made the reservation, I thought the price was a bit high. It is the countryside after all. It feels good to actually check in. The two male waiters at the front desk are particularly good! I stored my suitcase and rented the hotel's bicycle to ride. Came back to check in in the afternoon and was very satisfied with the room. Details to the extreme. Such as a teacup. The mouthwash cups are all covered in plastic bags; the facial cleansers are all in one for washing the face and removing makeup; there is a safe for each person; the rod for hanging clothes is too thick, but two small hooks are thoughtfully provided; you can also print photos for free downstairs. . . . . The bus departed at 7:40 the next morning, and we discussed whether we could have breakfast earlier, and it was easy to communicate. It was the first time I saw the purple sunset in Japan. All kinds of good. . . .

Excellent facility! We were warmly welcomed and helped with our luggage both for check in and check out and this is not something to be taken for granted, since it has happened to us very few times even in luxury facilities, so hats off! Wonderful location, surrounded by nature with the forest in part very suggestive. Entire facility and room very clean and well renovated in typical Japanese style with tatami, bamboo and many details of handcrafted wood work. Both public and private onsen (we had it in the room, outdoors directly on the snowy forest) dreamy; one of the most beautiful we have seen so far (we have already seen several always private and outdoors). The atmosphere you breathe is very intimate and familiar, it makes you feel at ease and pampered. Breakfast and dinner 7 out of 10, good but not excellent. The only negative note is the rigidity (typical of many Japanese) on the strict respect of the times: if you do not arrive on time for dinner and do not notify, you will not eat even if you have already paid for it, for the check out be careful because you will have to pay a supplement that will increase for every 10 minutes of delay. But, if you strictly adhere to their rules (as we did) you will have no problems and you will live a dream stay, even if a little stressful for us Italians with the impositions of the times especially. Overall, highly recommended!

Let me talk about the disadvantages first. When we just entered the hotel room, the sewer in the bathroom seemed to be under repair. A strong smell of stinky water came to our noses, so we immediately contacted the repairman to come over. He helped us to tidy it up and left, but I don’t know why this happened inexplicably. Is it the same for all Japanese hotels? Later, I asked the front desk and they said there were no other rooms. We had to turn on the air purifier for most of the day. Fortunately, there was no smell when we slept. Then, the location is indeed a bit far. We only stayed for one day. There was only a shuttle bus at 9:40 in the morning the next day. For convenience, we told the front desk that we would take this bus to leave the hotel before checking in, but I don’t know if the hotel forgot to make an appointment or register for us. The next morning, we went to check out on time and almost missed the bus back. (Thanks to my friend’s last-minute sprint, the driver waited for us for a while, and then left on time.) It is recommended to stay for at least two days to be more relaxed. Advantages, the location of the hotel is unique. It is right next to the Shirahige Falls. We can enjoy the scenery of the waterfall in the morning and evening. It should be the best location nearby. Then, the hotel's internal environment is also very unique. The lobby, restaurant, room, and even the elevator are all floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the snowy pine forest outside. My friends and I were very excited when we saw it. Then, the hotel provides free shuttle buses. There are two buses to the hotel and one to leave. Just get on the bus at Bus Stop No. 1 outside Asahikawa Station, which is very convenient. Then, the hotel's open-air bath is also great. It is real hot spring water. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to soak again in the morning when I was in a hurry to catch the bus the next day. Then, I want to praise the hotel's restaurant. We ordered breakfast and dinner. In addition to the common Western Japanese cuisine (all tasted very good), the grilled wagyu and sukiyaki for dinner were also very good. Finally, the hotel also provides an activity to watch the Qingchi at night (free). After the bus took us to the vicinity, we could see the lights of the Qingchi in a few minutes on foot. We played for 45 minutes on the return trip, and the experience was not bad. In summary, except for the sewer problem in the room on the first day, the hotel is very good in other aspects. There are not many guests, and the environment is quiet. It is quite suitable as a hot spring hotel for leisure and vacation. I heard that you may encounter little foxes nearby.

The hotel is located next to Shirahige Falls, and it only takes a few minutes to drive to Biei Aoike. It is convenient to travel to Furano and Biei by car from the hotel. The breakfast and dinner buffets are quite rich. There is also a free large bath.

With a stay at Kunsthaus in Biei, you'll be within a 5-minute drive of Sanai no Oka Park and Biei Town Hall. This guesthouse is 16.2 mi (26 km) from Asahiyama Zoo and 11.1 mi (17.8 km) from Blue Pond.Take in the views from a terrace and a garden and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access.Stop by the guesthouse's restaurant, KUNSTHAUS, for lunch or dinner, or grab snacks at the coffee shop/cafe. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 8 AM to 8:30 AM.Featured amenities include luggage storage and laundry facilities. Free self parking is available onsite.Make yourself at home in one of the 6 guestrooms featuring refrigerators and flat-screen televisions. Private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations feature deep soaking bathtubs and complimentary toiletries. Conveniences include desks and portable fans, and housekeeping is provided daily.

A homestay run by the two couples is clean and tidy. The room has a bathroom, but the bath has to go to the first floor. The Western breakfast is good. It is about 3 kilometers away from Meiyi Station. After arriving at Meiyi Station, call the landlord and the landlord will come to pick it up; it will be delivered to the station when you leave. Very good experience, recommended.

The scenery outside the window is very good. You can see Rizhao Jinshan (Mount Biei and Mt. Tokachi at sunset) from the room. The facilities are not bad except for the old bathroom. Breakfast and dinner for three people (a very common banquet meal) only costs 1,000 RMB. It also includes free pick-up and drop-off from Asahikawa Station and free pick-up and drop-off from Aoike in the evening. It is very cost-effective. The waiters also answered all questions and were eager to help. The most special experience was soaking in an open-air hot spring in the heavy snow the next morning, just like the Hokkaido macaques

The hotel description did not capture the situation enough. I was confused due to lack of room pictures. They also posted several listing for different rooms under different hotel name section. But this room is perfect for us. The location is a bit far (if you are not used to walking) from the station but it is only around 7-9 minutes walking. The surrounding area is a quiet neighborhood. The building is new and very clean. It was also warm inside even when the weather forecast said -14 celcius outside. The japanese food they served was also very good. They provided free coffee/tea and water in common area. They also let us lent their microwave. The bathroom is only one but very clean and comfy. The room has its own mini fridge, ac, and tv. If you are wondering where to stay in Biei, I definitely recommend this place.

Very beautiful accommodation environment, the master's intention can be seen in the details. The room was clean and tidy, the breakfast was Western-style, and Hokkaido milk was delicious. Just beside the Ken&Mary tree, walk to the Meilong Station for 30 minutes, take a taxi for 970 yen, and also fight for the first stop on the road. Staying for two days, the first day happened to have a navel offering in Furano, so I rushed to Furano. After the event, I took the last JR car back to the United States. Before the departure, ask the landlord about how to call a taxi at night. The landlord told us that if there is no car, you can call Mr. Fang to drive to pick up. Unexpectedly, after leaving the station at night, there are still many taxis waiting outside the station, which is very pleasant. On the last day, take a taxi to Asahikawa Airport and the fare is 3,130 yen, which is acceptable.

The room is a bit old without air conditioning, the door can be opened and the fan can be used to attract the air-conditioning in the hall, the tatami and the pillow are old, but the proprietress is very friendly, and the dinner is very good value for 200 yen.
