This is very high quality accommodation and we loved the location, smack bang in the middle of Hirafu and close to restaurants, shops, and a quick flat walk to the lifts. A couple of mornings we felt really lazy and got a complimentary lift to the lifts! The apartment was also close to the free shuttle bus stop and a couple of mornings we got the bus to Hanazono to try to beat the crowds to t he powder.

The staff were delightful and helped us with various queries. The reception was only manned for about 6 hours per day which was generally enough, otherwise it was a quick walk over to The Vale for any support we needed.

The condo was great and we liked that it at least had a little Japanese feel to it. It was modern and clean and had lovely furnishings and upscale equipment. It wasn’t super spacious but just enough space for us.

The facilities were pretty good (loved having laundry facilities) and we also used The Vale’s facilities including the onsen, although we had to pay a little fee for that. Initially we stored our equipment at Freshwater, and then realized that we could store our skis at The Vale which made things really easy to get to the lift.
