Once the fall foliage fades, Furano settles into a quieter season. The fields turn gold and brown, snow begins to appear in the mountains, and the pace slows before winter gets underway.
November is a chance to enjoy a different kind of stay at Nozo Hotel. Head out for a short walk, spend time in the spa, and leave a little room in your schedule to relax.
Please note: Nozo Hotel will be closed for maintenance from November 15–19, 2026, with regular operations scheduled to resume on November 20.

Enjoy Furano at a Slower Pace
Nozo Hotel sits among the trees in Kitanomine, with the Tokachidake mountain range to the east and the Yubari mountains to the west. Short outings and relaxed evenings suit this time of year. As winter approaches, it gets dark around 4 p.m., so plan outdoor activities with the shorter daylight hours in mind.
The hotel offers eight room types with light wood interiors, along with a gym, Sugi Spa, a kids’ room, ski lockers, and a shop.
Warm Up at Sugi Spa
A warm bath is a welcome part of the day as temperatures drop. Sugi Spa features mineral-rich water for a hot spring-style bathing experience, with separate men’s and women’s bathing areas, indoor and outdoor hot baths, saunas, and a cold bath.
Stop by before breakfast or unwind after an afternoon out.
Hours: 6–10 a.m. and 3 p.m.–midnight. Hours are subject to change.
Breakfast at Shirakaba Restaurant
With wood, stone, and textiles throughout the dining room, Shirakaba Restaurant offers an open setting for meals featuring ingredients from Furano and Biei.
