On the second night, we stayed at Furano Resort Orika. It is a resort hotel with a golf course. There are two restaurants in the hotel, and the other one seems to have a dress code, while this one is a casual restaurant without a dress code. The course includes sashimi and sushi, offering a mix of Japanese and French cuisine. During dinner time, there was live piano and violin music playing familiar songs like anime songs and popular Japanese songs. Breakfast was also served here, with a Western-style plated meal instead of a buffet.

A restaurant with a sense of grandeur. The entrance has a fireplace where you can relax and enjoy the view. I booked a dinner during my trip. The appetizers, sashimi, and botan shrimp were deliciously sweet. For the main course, I chose a dish with both fish and meat. I tried Menkue for the first time, and the light white fish with the flavor of olive oil was delicious. The Hokkaido beef sirloin steak was tender with just the right amount of marbling, perfect with red wine. I was already full at this point, but still had 3 pieces of sushi, soup, dessert, and coffee. The mango mousse cake for dessert had a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and I ended up finishing it all.

I used this hotel for the first time during my trip to Hokkaido. It is a hotel standing on top of a hill. The fireplace next to the front desk is lovely. The view from the room was very beautiful. Dinner was also amazing, as expected in Hokkaido. The vegetables were very delicious. The meat, soup, and even the mini sushi were delicious. The carrot soup for breakfast was also delicious. Above all, everyone had hospitality and it was a wonderful hotel.

This is a personal matter, but for the 10th anniversary review, this will be the third and final time, breakfast. It was also wonderful. - 100% pear juice from Yoichi (Choice) - Carrot soup made with soy milk - Green salad with local lettuce and grated onion Japanese-style dressing - Plain omelette - Roast lemon-flavored local chicken with ratatouille and avocado and potato puree - Salmon and watercress gratin with original smoked ham - Grapefruit syrup-soaked fresh yogurt with fresh yogurt on top - Melon - Dark chocolate - Various breads - Coffee (Choice) I had the set menu, and it's not ordinary. I wonder how many hotels in Hokkaido serve this class of food. For someone like me who doesn't usually eat so much for breakfast, this is undoubtedly an important suggestion (laughs). I enjoyed it thoroughly without leaving anything behind. Putting melon jam on bread and eating it was blissful. I had it for the first time, and it felt like saying goodbye to a summer day (laughs). Everything was delicious. It's wonderful how delicious food is linked to health. While it's not easy to have a day like this often, it was a truly good time to take care of my mind and body throughout the day. And it was a good memory. It's located about a 30-minute drive away, so if possible, I would like to visit again on some occasion. While the chef is still healthy... Merci beaucoup.

It is a personal matter, but today marks the 10th anniversary since I started posting on Tabelog. It all began when I visited a teppanyaki restaurant that I enjoyed so much, I wanted to record it. Now, I regularly visit various restaurants. I don't know what the next 10 years will bring, or if I'll still be healthy and active, but to mark this milestone, I will introduce the dishes I enjoyed at this hotel's restaurant in three parts. The hotel was closed for winter break, but they kindly served me the following dishes. I stayed on a plan with two meals included, but I arrived early to enjoy lunch. Reservations were required for the half course meal, which included: (Appetizer) Marinated salmon, scallops, and shrimp with fresh fruit salad and fruit vinaigrette dressing, Today's soup, Seasonal fish meunière with hazelnut butter, Wagyu beef steak from Biei, Today's dessert, Bread and fermented butter. On a drizzly Wednesday, I took a day off work and drove about 30 minutes to get here. I planned my arrival time to enter the restaurant. The second-floor restaurant overlooks a lawn and a golf course. Lunch is mostly enjoyed by golfers, so I might have been a rare guest. The plates were all pure white and spotless, adding to the charm of the place. The fish and meat dishes were outstanding, especially the Wagyu beef steak that melted in my mouth. The fish was so delicious, I forgot what type it was. The staff was knowledgeable and made my lunch experience enjoyable. Wine with lunch made me feel happy. It's just the beginning, but I'm glad I came here.

I stayed at this hotel last summer, which happened to be on the day I turned 50. I stayed for one night, feeling relieved that I had made it this far and thinking about the future. However, in the end, I couldn't think deeply and just enjoyed delicious food (laughs). The dinner venue was French restaurant "Layla" on the 10th floor. When I got off the elevator and took a photo of the entrance, a staff member noticed and waited for me. I was then escorted inside. It was very quiet, a serene summer night. While sipping champagne, I enjoyed the following dishes: - Amuse-bouche: Sea urchin, caviar, cauliflower mousse, tomato cream - Menuki pancetta roll with mango - White corn soup - Ezo abalone steak with cream soy sauce - Palate cleanser - Grilled Shiraoi beef fillet with port wine sauce - Hokkaido cheese and fruit sec dessert - Special seasonal dessert - Bread with fermented butter and Spanish olive oil - Tea (selected) The hotel is sleek and stylish with a chimney at the top, where a fire was lit for me. The background music was crackling fire sounds. It was a night with the chef, sommelier, and myself. Perhaps at that moment, without realizing it, I was able to face myself. There was nothing else that caught my attention, just the exquisite food. I will cherish the opportunity created for me as a wonderful memory. Thank you.

Shortly before the summer vacation, I was able to stay at a discounted rate. It was my first time taking a car trip and staying overnight, so I was quite satisfied even before checking in. The room had glass windows from floor to ceiling, allowing me to fully enjoy the scenery of Furano. Although it was a while ago and I have forgotten some details, I remember that the restaurant was very accommodating for families with young children, and I was impressed by the excellent service as well as the delicious food.

It is a resort hotel with a distinctive tall silhouette. The food is highly praised, giving off an auberge-like atmosphere. The variety of ingredients handled is incredibly rich, allowing you to enjoy each bite. Truly, it is Hokkaido's ingredients. The wide range of ingredients is cooked in various ways, and the presentation is beautiful. We were able to enjoy a wonderful dinner, just as the reviews said.

The room, bath, service, and atmosphere are excellent, but unfortunately, the dinner menu was chaotic and the taste was not to my liking.

I woke up in the morning and looked out the window to see disappointing weather, just like yesterday... There's nothing I can do about it, so I cheered myself up and headed to the restaurant. When I looked at the breakfast menu that was available, I was a bit overwhelmed by the amount of food, but in reality, it was light and I felt relieved. Starting with soup and salad, the dishes served on long plates were all delicious, and the portions were just right. Breakfast at a luxury inn tends to be extravagant, but I think this breakfast, which is not too heavy, is just right for young people like me. Despite the continuous rain, I enjoyed this breakfast that was not too heavy. It was just the right amount for me. Thank you for the meal.

After a long time in Hokkaido, and my first time in Furano. I came here with high expectations of the amazing view from the hotel, but unfortunately, it rained almost the entire trip. Who said Hokkaido doesn't have a rainy season? With such disappointing weather, I doubt the seafood in Hokkaido will be as fresh as usual. It's better not to have high expectations to avoid stress. The dinner course at the restaurant on the lobby floor was a mix of Japanese and Western dishes. I chose venison as the main course. I ordered a bottle of sparkling wine from South Africa. The sashimi and various appetizers, including raw sea urchin and Tokishirazu pressed sushi, were delicious. The bread was tasty and surprisingly springy – it bounced back after being torn apart. The live piano and wind instrument performance by two women was a nice touch, even though I couldn't see them from my seat. The perfectly cooked sea bream with lemon sauce and dill was excellent. The venison was a bit tough, so I had to cut it into small pieces to eat. The sauce was tasty. The mixed rice with Hokkai clams had good flavor but was a bit dry. The dessert was milk pudding, mango (?) roll cake, and fruits, followed by coffee. The pudding had a rich milk flavor, and the fruits were ordinary, not seasonal. The overall portion was satisfying, but if the rice had been better, my impression would have been more positive. Also, the view was disappointing. Thank you for the meal. By the way, the clientele here seemed to be mostly elderly people, as well as guests from Korea and China. Perhaps the course was tailored to suit their preferences.

The view from the window was beautiful with vibrant greenery. The Western-style breakfast course was elegant and delicious. The milk was rich and tasty! Although the food was satisfying, I was bothered by the condescending attitude of the young waitress who served our table. It was my first time visiting, so when I asked questions (such as for a refill on drinks), she would laugh at me each time. Her choice of words was also not very polite, so I think a little guidance would be beneficial...especially in such a lovely resort hotel!

Daiguma → Tomamu and then, on the 4th day in Hokkaido, we stayed in Furano. This time we stayed here. Since this is a food review, I won't talk much about the hotel itself or the room, but it was amazing. The price is all-inclusive, so there are no separate charges for the mini-bar in the room or the meals. Maybe just for drinks at the restaurant or bar. It's not about being expensive or cheap, but the fact that you don't have to worry about strange things, that's the point. The staff also keep their distance, not intruding unnecessarily. There is also a large communal bath with an outdoor bath, and each room has a spacious unit bath. There are various options, so you can do what you want. I liked this aspect. Well, the most amazing thing was that the room had full glass windows, offering a prime location to enjoy the sunrise over the Tokachi Mountains all to yourself. This hotel has different French restaurants on the lobby floor and the top floor. The top floor's "Leila" seems to require a separate reservation and has a dress code. This time we dined at the lobby floor's "Orika." It was a main dining room with a nice atmosphere where live piano performances were held every 90 minutes. The prefixed style menu offers a mix of Japanese and Western cuisine. The dishes we had for dinner and breakfast were particularly good. For dinner, the appetizers were marinated herring with sour cream sauce, and a salad of lobster and prosciutto with couscous. The sour cream sauce was exquisite, complementing the rich herring and the subtly flavored lobster well. The couscous served on the side was also excellent. For the meat dish at dinner, we had a steak of Biei beef loin with red wine sauce. The marbling on the meat was just amazing. Among the three beef steaks we had during our Hokkaido trip, this one suited my taste the best. For breakfast, the cabbage and daikon consommé and plain omelet were both basic but perfectly executed dishes. It's comforting to know that they are done well. I couldn't take photos, but they also brought not just two types of bread but 6-7 varieties of baguettes to choose from. This was also delicious. The veteran waiter who served our table was very polite and attentive, occasionally checking in when we seemed idle. This kind of service is truly top-notch. The portions were quite generous, and I was glad I skipped lunch. Unfortunately, we had to leave early the next morning, so we couldn't stay longer. I would like to come back and stay longer next time. Thank you for the wonderful meal and service. I will visit again. (Dinner on 9/15 and Breakfast on 9/16, 2014)

This summer, I enjoyed a pinpoint food tour from north to south, starting with "Hokkaido ▷ Fukuoka." I received a lot of energy in the vast and green fields of Furano and the hot and lively atmosphere of Hakata during the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival! The city during the festival was hot and full of excitement! Every year from July 1st to July 15th, the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival is held in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City. When booking my Hokkaido trip, I was captivated by this hotel's brochure! Staying at the Furano Resort Hotel Orient was the highlight of my trip. The lobby, rooms, restaurant, and large communal bath all offer panoramic views of the rural landscape and the sprawling Daisetsuzan mountain range. The vibrant green of the on-site golf course is also stunningly beautiful. I'm so glad I came on this long-awaited trip to Hokkaido! Breakfast is a luxurious Western-style meal! There may not be a selection like a buffet, but every dish is delicious and a step above. I'm completely satisfied from the morning onwards. - Breakfast: * Carrot cream soup * Organic lettuce green salad * Warm vegetable salad with potofu * Assorted ham, bacon, and sausages * Plain omelette * Hokkaido potato gratin with vegetable-rich tomato sauce * Fresh yogurt * Hokkaido melon * Various bread * Coffee or tea - Dinner: * Hokkaido fruit tomato salad * Lobster wrapped in prosciutto with cucumber cream sauce * Seasonal assortment * Roasted sea bream and sea urchin with rosemary-scented olive oil and haskap sauce * Sautéed scallops from Funka Bay and snow crab with white wine sauce flavored with burnt butter * Palate cleanser * Roasted Biei beef loin with Madeira wine sauce and sour cream * Roasted Ezo venison loin with black sesame sauce * Main course and soup * Seasonal dessert * Bread and fermented butter * Coffee or tea

"The mansion on the hill" is not only known for its excellent facilities, but also for its top-notch hospitality. The breathtaking natural scenery that can be seen from there is truly spectacular! In Ainu language, ORIKA means "on the hill," and the hotel located there is a place that fills your heart in every way. It is a place where you can truly enjoy a high resort life. I spent a leisurely time there as if time had stopped. Having breakfast while overlooking the majestic scenery of the Tokachi mountain range in the distance made me regret leaving this place. The menu included: Carrot cream soup, Organic lettuce green salad, Warm vegetable salad with Potofu, Ham, bacon, and sausage assortment, Plain omelette with Hokkaido potato gratin and vegetable-rich tomato sauce, Fresh yogurt, Hokkaido melon, Assorted bread, and Coffee. The dishes, made with pesticide-free and low-pesticide local ingredients, focused on local production and consumption, were truly "Flano Cuisine." These gentle dishes not only satisfied my slightly tired stomach from the journey so far but also healed my body for the next destination. The four-leaf clover casually placed on top of the Furano melon will bring luck to this trip and to the encounters I will have in Hokkaido in the future.

I was struck by the stunning view of the Tokachi mountain range spreading across one wall of the room, as I saw in a magazine, and immediately felt the urge to stay there. Last year, when I traveled to Furano, I considered staying at this hotel but the accommodation fee was too high, so I ended up staying at "Furano Hoshutei". Since then, I had kept an eye on this hotel. This year, I found out that the price had gone down (perhaps by lowering the quality of the food?), so I decided to stay. Still, it easily exceeded 30,000 yen, which is a luxurious price for me. For dinner, I had a mix of Japanese and Western creative cuisine at "Orica". For an additional 5,000 yen, you can upgrade to a top floor restaurant called "Layla" for a high-class French dining experience (with a dress code). However, I found the experience at Orica to be more than sufficient. I enjoyed a creative French meal while listening to live piano and violin music. The meal alternated between Western and Japanese dishes, with both chopsticks and cutlery provided. The first dish was sashimi, which made me crave sake (my companion ordered it), and it was a delicious combination. The rest of the prefixed menu included steamed Furano vegetables with black truffle oil sauce, fish dishes, meat dishes, and a delightful dessert. The room and the food were excellent. Although not a hot spring, the Lavender bath and open-air bath made me feel like I was soaking in a hot spring. The hotel had a high-class feel but with a simple and understated decoration. It may be a relaxing place for golf enthusiasts. It seems that the Japanese-Western fusion cuisine is more popular among golf guests than traditional French cuisine.
