Its right next to the center of the Hirafu town where all the action (food) and transportation is. Lawson also right next door. Rooms are small but smartly designed, I felt more comfortable here than in many other larger hotel rooms.

Free shuttle to the Gondola. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tayah 4 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Can’t say enough good things about this property. We rented an apartment and it gave us ample room to spread out and enjoy our time there for the week. The location was absolutely perfect. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, bars, onsens and the Grand hirafu ski resort. I would recommend reserving restaurants in advance of your stay otherwise you may not get in anywhere. Happened to us a few times. ##### Tayah Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MIZUKI 25 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 何度も泊まっています！ 快適な施設です！ 去年は思わなかったですが 今年は排水溝から匂いがあがってきているのか 洗面室付近が臭かったです 他はとても良いです！ ##### MIZUKI Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mizuki 17 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 洗濯機もありよかった！ ##### Mizuki Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### YATO 7 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication ウォシュレットと湯船が有れば最高でした。 ##### YATO Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alicia 26 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Apartment itself was fantastic. Lovely King sized bed, washing machine and gas fire place. Communication before check in was great but, Unfortunately the staff leave a lot to be desired when checking in at during our stay. They didn’t mention there was a free shuttle service in the morning, they didn’t mention there we’re different types of lift passes and we got stuck on the other side of the mountain and missed a whole afternoon skiing. They clearly didn’t care.. forgot to have our lift pass and lesson ready when we arrived and then couldn’t tell us where to go for our lesson. Also worth noting that the walls are paper thin. We could hear the conversation of the people in the next room and on the street. ##### Alicia Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kent 9 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location, very small rooms for price, rooms are a lot smaller than photos appear ##### Kent Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### JC 1 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The toilet was poorly designed.. Each time we showered, the floors flooded and there was nothing to dry it with . Each time we needed to use the sink we had to walk on wet floor. ##### JC Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent and cozy apartment with well-equipped kitchen. Staff are so nice. Just next to the main road in Girafu. 2-minute-walk to ski shuttle bus stop and 5-minute-walk to convenient shop. It is so convenient that many restaurants and shops nearby. We didn’t drive this time and we took ski bus from CTS airport. The Freshwater provided compliment shuttle from & to Girafu welcome centre on arrival and departure date. We will stay here again when we go to Niseko next time. 👍 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### kazu, 神奈川 1 Aug 2019 Disliked: Amenities 6人で利用は無理があるのに、6人で利用できると書いてあり、２人ソファで寝ました。それなのに、２人の追加料金が２万も取られて、ホテルマネージャーに抗議しましたが、訳のわからない返答で、本当に嫌な思いをしました。 ##### kazu Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very nice property to stay in.
