Accommodation itself, cannot criticize anything, big bed, nice shower, very comfy room. Friendly staff. Only thing is the walking distance to the slope not as close as advertised, however perfectly acceptable.

The place is fully equipped with all the things you may need and want in your own home. It's just a short walk to the ski base but I won't recommend carrying your ski uphill. Many restaurants and shops within walking distance, so close to everything. Great place for family and friends. Will be back soon.

7 guys stayed at Yama Shizen Apartments in Niseko Hirafu in February. We found the facilities modern and clean and within a 10 minute walk of the ski valet. Our apartment was on the 6th floor with elevator access. We had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a well appointed kitchen. This apartment also had an outdoor Jacuzzi on the... More

We booked online via the HT Holidays website for a stay of 8 days from 01.03.2013. Upon early arrival* we were shuttled from the Hirafu Welcome Centre by HT Holidays friendly and prompt staff. The accommodation was exactly as described online and met our expectations. The studio size was more than adequate for the two of us with ample storage... More

Modern, light and very comfortable apartments that are 5 minutes away from the ski lifts. I stayed with kids and we had a great time. Everything is within walking distance and Niseko is a wonderful place to ski and eat. Relaxed, small and beautiful.

We booked our accommodation through Deep Power Tours. We are saying in a "b" room. It is just a room with a king size bed, TV, small sofa, fridge, microwave. It is a very comfortable room, but definitely small for 2 people with a lot of snowboard/ski gear. A washer and dryer is nice, but is shared with another room.... More

Thank you for your review of your stay in Yama Shizen. Our Ski Valet at the gondola does assist guests like yourselves in not having to carry your skis and boots to the ski lifts which we believe makes staying with us that little bit more trouble free especially for parents that seems to have to carry all children`s gear....
