"5 Days in Kiroro"
We visited Kiroro in Jan-16 to enjoy the skiing. We chose to stay at the Tribute to be close to the slopes. The Hotel is quite large, and well laid out. The only complaint is that the rooms are a little small, but not too bad by Japanese standards.The level of English by the staff is good. Whilst not all the staff could speak good English, there was always someone on hand who could - and you can't ask for more than that. The front desk staff were very helpful in the planning stages of the trip, and assisted us tremendously when our airline let us down and we missed the transfer bus.
Kiroro is a resort destination and as such you are locked into the restaurants on offer. The nearest town, Otaru, is a 1 hr, Yen 2,000 taxi trip away. The hotel food, however, was excellent. A good balance between Western & Asian choices.
Outside of skiing there isn't much to do in Kiroro. And the Hotel Onsen isn't included in the price of the stay.
