10 mins seems to be the major number to quote - cab waiting, walking distance...but it took 15, closer to 20 mins to walk from the Furano Station with luggage. Not too thrilling in the heat. Also had lots of 'visitors' in the night - tiny flies attracted by light, almost covering the whole of my futon. Also, sunlight pours in unchecked as there are no blackout curtains. No fun when daylight begins about 4am! Compound that with a curious frosted glass panel on the room door so that when any movement outside triggers the corridor lights, brightness shine in through the panel, interrupting sleep. So better come with blindfold or such.
