If you’re headed to Niseko to ski, this is absolutely the hotel you want to book. The hotel is so cute, well organized, and the staff are so nice and helpful. The other hotels in the area feel very corporate and sterile, but this hotel is warm, inviting and stood out as a family run place. It’s an easy 5 min walk to Grand Hirafu. The hotel does provide a free shuttle in the morning to Grand Hirafu if you don’t want to walk. The hotel is also an easy 10 min walk to restaurants, bars and the main downtown area of Hirafu. This hotel is also very close to Rhythm, the main ski rental shop. The rooms are large, very clean, comfortable and quiet. The free breakfast was great and the hotel sets out tea cakes/cookies, coffee and tea in the afternoon. Really can’t recommend this hotel enough. I will be staying here again the next time I’m back. Ten outta ten!
