Heating Methods

We offer whole-house heating using either a central heating system with oil-fired boilers and hot water panels, or underfloor heating that warms the space beneath the first floor. Both systems provide consistent warmth throughout the home.

In recent years, we’ve also been promoting whole-house heating using wood-burning stoves. This approach works best with an open floor plan.
Even in and around Sapporo, firewood can usually be sourced—even if it requires a bit of travel. Firewood is a renewable energy source with relatively stable pricing.
While it does require some effort—such as stacking and storing—it’s a fuel that gently warms the body from the inside out during Hokkaido’s cold winters.
We especially recommend this option for those who find joy in the process and lifestyle that comes with it.
