    Location was a little far from the dot base / ski lifts, but the accomodation was overall a pleasant experience and very well furnished and clean with everything you need! The host was hospitable and kind as well, even going out of his way to fetch us to the welcome centre as we had heavy luggages and no car. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place at grand hirafu! It was also very conveniently located near the shuttle bus stop and the Lawson mart.

    We had a 3 bedroom loft room, which fit two downstairs and one person upstairs. Kitchen/laundry area was great with a microwave and fridge and washer/ dryer. Walk to King gondola was only 15 mins or catch free shuttle just at bottom of street. The owner was very kind- driving us to and from welcome centre. Very quiet place and good value for money!

    This room we booked was on the side of the main house so had to walk up and over a large mound of snow to get to the room which could be slippery but not a deal breaker. Other than that no complaints

    Awesome location in the middle of Hirafu area of Niseko. Many shops and restaurants within 5-10 walking distance. The room was great and spacious due to an adjoining kitchen area the also had a washing machine for clothing. Very clean and nice staff. Would stay again

    Great value for money to be within range of the slopes. We had our own flat on the side of the building that was great for 5 people. Plenty of area to leave ski’s and boards. Was about a 10-15 min walk to the ski lift which was no issue for our group.

    We arrived quite late, it was snowing and we were really cold (but loving it!). We stepped inside the house and it was everything we needed and more! It was so beautifully warm, our room was really cosy and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was substantial and sustained us for the whole day! Staff were really attentive and friendly. It was a really memorable and special experience for us, we highly recommend and would love stay there again one day.

    As we skied in late March, there was no warm room to dry our boots. Had to take them upstairs to dry out. Sheets weren’t changed on a regular basis and having to ask for toilet paper every couple of days was a bit much.

    Great location

    Occasionally had problems with the hot water.

    Beds are fantastically comfortable and warm. Our room had a little mezzanine area, which was great for storing our stuff and stretching.we could use the breakfast/ dining area to get a bit of work done, and also use the ‘kitchen’/family room, e which is Sunny and has a nice outlook, so it feels not at all crowded. The host Igs also extremely friendly and helpful. Parking is super convenient. Has a ski room with a bench for waxing ski gear, and some tools, iron etc.

    Not cheap. Also breakfast wasn’t included and would cost us 1500 yen extra per person. We opted for Lawsons food. Also there was no coffee supplied for the guests, and all the toiletries had to be purchased from the vending machine. Convenient, without a doubt, but for nearly $300 per night I feel some basics should have been included.

    Super comfortable bed and ample space for the clothes. Also we liked the communal seating area with large bay windows, we spend a lot of time there. The lodge is located on the outskirts of the village, but we actually preferred that, seeing how crowded Niseko has become. Lawsons is just across the street, and a couple of nice restaurants right next door.

    The toilet had a basin in the top of it, the tap came on automatically with any flush and ran on for too long. No frige in the room.

    Great location and premises. Room was a good size , clean and comfortable. Good little heater kept the temperature perfect and easy to adjust. The host Akihiro was great.
