The house is beautiful and spacious, with a garage that makes it very convenient during the snowy season—no need to worry about shoveling snow off the car. Right by the entrance, there’s a designated area to hang your clothes and store ski equipment, with heated floors in that area to keep everything dry and warm. Inside, there's a cozy TV corner to relax, and two bedrooms on the lower floor, along with a bathroom and separate toilet.
Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious open kitchen that’s fully equipped for cooking, though the only seasonings provided were salt and pepper. What I liked the most was the fireplace in the upstairs living room, with a large window offering a beautiful view of the falling snow. The master bedroom is also on the second floor, with an en-suite bathroom.
Though housekeeping doesn’t come daily, there’s a dishwasher and vacuum cleaner provided. The village is just a 5-minute walk from the bus stop, but there are no nearby restaurants or convenience stores. Communication with the reception via WhatsApp wasn’t always very reliable—it’s sometimes slow or quick to respond. There’s a shuttle service to Niseko Village once a day during the winter season, but it’s limited and needs to be booked in advance.
Overall, the villa is very nice, quiet, and well-designed, though it is a bit far from the main town. A taxi ride to Niseko Hirafu takes about 15 minutes and costs around 4,500 yen. There’s also a bus every hour for 500 yen (in winter). Overall, it’s a nice stay.
