Fenix West
Fenix West, a luxury condominium hotel rising six stories high in Furano, Hokkaido, offers an enticing mix of high-end amenities and unbeatable access to some of Japan’s finest slopes. Nestled near the Kitanomine Gondola, its crown jewel is the ski-in/ski-out access, allowing you to tumble from your cozy quarters straight into the powdery expanse of Furano Ski Resort. Whether you’re a winter sports aficionado or a leisurely traveler who prefers watching the snow from the comfort of a balcony, Fenix West has a little something for everyone.
The accommodations range from elegant hotel rooms to sprawling 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, right up to penthouse suites that feel more like private mountain retreats. And don’t worry—you won’t miss the view. Every unit has its own private balcony, either overlooking the magnificent Furano slopes or the Tokachi Mountain range, which—when snowcapped—feels like nature showing off just for you.
Key Amenities
Now, as far as amenities go, Fenix West has thoughtfully catered to both the busy adventurer and the languid lounger. Here’s a peek at what’s on offer:

Room Features
When it comes to the rooms, Fenix West doesn’t skimp on the luxury. Each one is kitted out with air conditioning and heating to keep you comfortable, no matter the season, and sound-insulated walls to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep. The bathrooms are meticulously designed, complete with Japanese-style washlet toilets (if you’ve never used one, you’re in for a treat), bidets, free toiletries, and hair dryers. Some rooms even spoil you with Nespresso machines, so you can brew a quality espresso without leaving your room.
Entertainment? They’ve got that covered too. You’ll find satellite TV with Netflix and a smorgasbord of other streaming services, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes or an afternoon of exploring Furano’s scenic offerings.
Year-Round Activities
And speaking of exploring, while Fenix West is a haven for skiers and snowboarders in winter, its appeal extends far beyond the snow. In the warmer months, the area transforms into a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking and cycling trails abound, and if you fancy a truly unique perspective, you can take to the skies in a hot-air balloon, drifting serenely over Hokkaido’s rolling green landscapes.
So whether you’re there for the thrill of the ski slopes or the tranquility of a summer retreat, Fenix West has designed every detail to balance adventure with relaxation. It’s a place where adrenaline and comfort happily coexist, making it the ultimate base for your Furano escapade.
