From the Edo period (1603〜) in populous areas and castle towns, “BANYA “ was the place local residents gathered and co-operated to make the town lively.
“FURANO BANYA”, established by local friends, was named after these “BANYA” of old Japan, in the hope that it will be the BANYA of FURANO.
We envision a place where the warm hospitality of Furano locals can be shared with guests, and hope that “BANYA” will inspire the whole resort town of Furano.
Furano has four beautiful distinct seasons, surrounded by breathtaking landscape and various tourist attractions.
In this rich natural environment, we established the luxury condominium “YUKIBANYA” at the base of the Ski field. We look forward to providing a pleasant stay for our guests.
