It was not a far drive from Biei city centre and the route is straighforward. Its right beside the road and you will not miss it, beside the blue pond. The guesthouse feels very local. Its old yet clean and has a nostalgia feel to it. I sometimes like staying a night or so in these type of ryokan so you can feel how locals live in the past. We were greeted by the owner who kindly showed us around. We were offered a bedroom in the corner. Its spacious and clean, though next to the road is not too noisy. There is a kitchen and a common room on the ground floor and we met some locals and had a good chat with them and exchanged e-mails which is very nice. They also have meals but you have to pre-order before a certain time. I like the onsen best - its a natural one with brownish-yellow color - very relaxing in a quiet, forrest area. It was raining all night and added some natural rhythm to the night. We also went out to look at the stars. Beyond the street lamps, it was pitch dark and it was such a nice tranquil feeling. If you do not mind it being old, I think its good to stay there for the onsen and a night sleep. I think they can improve the doors-one leads out to the male outdoor onsen(squeaky) and the one on 1/F leading to the balcony for smoke break.(not sure if its the slamming or squeaky that is causing the noise starting at 5a.m.)Maybe just ask for a room not close by the balcony for smoke break if you're a light sleeper like me.

The Adagio, is located nearby the beautiful town of Biei, you can enjoy visits to local sightseeing spots, sit back on the balcony to relax at dusk, or read one of the many books provided for vistors’ perusal. The bedrooms are large and each offers a touch of class with a very modern feel, while the French windows and balconies boast breath-taking views overlooking the picturesque valley and sea. The service at the Adagio is of a very high standard and the staff dedicates itself to ensuring that guests have as comfortable a stay as possible. As the title of the homestay suggests, the Adagio prides itself on its unique approach to relaxation and your stay there is very much about escaping the noises and demands of everyday life. The restaurant located on the first floor shares this same philosophy and encourages everyone to savor their meals slowly to inspire the sense of taste. The restaurant’s recipes are unique and the ingredients feature the freshest seasonal offerings possible. The Adagio is, indeed, a uniquely tranquil and peaceful home away from home where you can refresh your mind and store your spirit.

Accommodation like a fairytale house. In the dark, snowy and windy when we arrived but in house is difference atmosphere. It was very lovely and warm. Staffs and chef are Taiwanese and good communicated in English. They are very good services mind. We got the full course dinner from local material in Hokkaido. Every dishes, they explained about ingredients. We feel like to go to visit our relative’ s house. I like to sit and see view from the window in the living room and listen the song that they opened. We are very impressed here.

Pension Megumiyuki

Biei town is the best place to stay that is located between Furano and Asahikawa. There are many beautiful places and sightseeing spot. And it’s very close to Asahikawa airport. Our B&B which is small family-run have 5 Japanese-style rooms and a Cottage. Maximum only 20 people stay. We very welcome you with warmest heart and hope you will have great stay with us. We located very near by Biei town on the way to Shinei no Oka(Hill of Shinei) in Panorama Area. Just 4min drive to the Biei station. Around the house is surrounded by a pasture and vegetable fields that can enjoy the idyllic and quiet landscape. And also we can see some beautiful starry sky. We will provide a fresh and delicious food that Biei or Hokkaido products. The rice and bread cultivated with a reduced amount of agricultural chemicals. We located at 15min to Asahikawa airport, 30min to Asahiyama zoo and 40min to Furano. Just 3min to Biei central by car and very good location to see around the sightseeing spot in Biei.

Quaint little Japanese style B&B conveniently located in Biei

My guest room which was on the second floor was very clean. Equipped with heater and a/c, reasonably fast and free wi-fi. Otherwise the room is fairly spartan and uncluttered. Has a toilet attached and wash basin in the room. There is no ensuite shower though. Bedding consists of a futon, a small pillow and a plush duvet. There are two nice separate shower facilities on the first floor. Only one face/hand towel is provided and I had to pay 100 Yen for a bath towel, perhaps this is the norm for this type of accommodation. The breakfast area is also on the first floor. The breakfast selection is fairly limited, but what was served was very fresh and healthy, including a selection of fresh local vegetables for a salad, locally made bread, butter and preserves. I was also served a plate with a modest serving of omelette, sausage and potatoes. Overall, highly recommended and I would stay here if I visit Biei again. The hosts are very polite and speak decent English. However, I would not recommend this place for those with mobility issues as the access to the second floor guest rooms is via a fairly narrow and steep staircase. The cottage rooms should be fine though.

Natsumi no Sato

Biei country-style living

Reviewed By Brian W

This guesthouse is located about 5 minute taxi ride away from the Biei JR station. We stayed in the cottage next to the main house. The cottage was very spacious with a large common room with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom and a toilet room. The futons were comfortable. We had some difficulty in getting some of devices connected to the Internet but it all worked out in the end. Host had limited English but was very patient and willing to help out on requests. There was also a gallery/arts craft shop on site that sold handcrafted and handwoven items. The host also sold fruit wine by the glass that they produce on site. A good option if you are looking for a more country-style feel for lodging.

Lovely little hotel in rural Hokkaido

Reviewed By GLKLLCIO

I normally don’t do places with shared bathrooms by this was the most conveniently located accommodation near the train station. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised by how new it was and that breakfast was offered. I really enjoyed my stay and the English speaking staff. It is simple and the rooms are tight but it is worth it if you’re just trying to see the fields or the famous aoi ike/ blue pond. There is a bus nearby that will go by the pond and other sites. However the schedule is aggressive (only 15 minutes at the pond before the next bus leaves) so I suggest taking a taxi. They charge 7000 yen for 1.5 hours or 9500 for 2 hours since it takes a while to get there and back. Most taxis in town have this course that you can choose from.

Lovely traditional hotel with amazing onsen

Comfortable hotel, spacious roms in a beautiful area. The onsen was amazing, especially the outdoor area where you could hear the waterfall. The kaiseki dinner was a fantastic experience and the breakfast buffet was nice. The staff were so helpful - it was our first trip to Japan and we had never stayed in a ryokan before and they patiently explained the dinner and onsen etiquette!

Very basic; nevertheless, adequate

Reviewed By TT_at_HK

Visited the town for photo shooting. The hotel is very basic; nevertheless, adequate for a short stay in this small town. They served buffet breakfast and dinner. Washroom in the room, but bath was at a common area in the hotel (together with their hot spring facilities). Such a setup is very common among small town hotels (with hot spring) in Japan.
