"A top place to stay in Hirafu, Niseko. Excellent location, and staff could not be more helpful and assisting. Studio room 402 has great views up towards the ski slopes. Modern and well equipped, I would choose to stay here again."

"This is the perfect little single room efficiency with kitchenette and full bath. It’s small but would be perfect for a single or couple who rented a car or otherwise has transportation and wants to experience Niseko. There no much in walking distance but a whole lot in a few miles drive. "

"Extremely nice apartment style place to stay. The shuttles were very convenient and not too far away from the resort. Really easy walk to the konbinis and restaurants."

"This was a great little place to ski and stay in Niseko. Very central to all the things in Hirafu. It’s about a 10-15 min walk to the ski lift but still great. The staff were super helpful in helping us get a ride to the airport in Chitose when we got stuck without a rental car that we were expecting. Great stay. Would stay here again."

"Dinner and breakfast was included much to our surprise, and with a great selection as well. The hotel room had a great view and was spacious and clean. Only stayed for a night but I would give a 5 star experience"
"We stay here every few years and generally have good experiences. In the past it was packed with Chinese tourists but this time there were noticeably fewer. There was a junior high trip which made dinner/breakfast a little more chaotic but I’ve chaperoned that type of trip before and didn’t notice the kids were badly behaved or anything. The food was delicious and the room, while old, was clean. My biggest complaint is with the pools. One was closed and the other one limits the people that use almost all the slides and such to kids 120 cm and under. My 11 year old was pretty bored with nothing to do at the pool. They also used to have free rafts to float on, but no more. Some of the onsen were also under construction but there was still plenty of space. Could have dealt without the old Chinese ladies’s manners in the onsen but I don’t blame the hotel for that. Enjoyed checking out Shiroito waterfall (didn’t realize how close it was). Overall a good stay but not sure we will be back since next time my 7 year old will also be too big for all the pool activities. Price has also increased a lot in the past few years."
"The hot springs were amazing. I was lucky enough to see wild deer while enjoying the outdoor bath, which made the experience even more special. There were so many facilities, including souvenir shops, a game center, karaoke bars, restaurants, and even indoor pools. We only stayed for one night, and honestly, it wasn’t enough time to fully enjoy everything this place had to offer."
"Newer, gorgeous property with Ainu elements at a serene part of the small town. Nice, minimally designed room with great view of the lake, great for a relax trip. Onsen water is brownish and feels v therapeutic, smoothening for the skin.
Food is alright, breakfast portion is a little small. Unlike other similar grade onsen hotels, there is no drinks provided in the room - only a jug of water, this is rather disappointing. Can't be sure the water is fresh. If this is due to environmental practice, the hotel could have provided water in aluminium can..."
