2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
It's a sales job. Unless there's a festival or you want to eat seafood, i would skip it. The canal is small.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (22 reviews)
Highly recommend for a stay in Niseko.
The place is in great shape and has plenty of space! The company that runs it is very good about communication. We booked our snowboarding thru them and it was very convenient. They also were quick to accommodate some unique needs that we had.
A couple things to consider - the lodging is at the bottom of the hill in Grand Hirafu. You can technically walk to the restaurants and to the resort but it can be dangerous if it snows. So definitely get your international driver’s license or download the Go app for taxis. There is a bus system but we often found it overfilled and were waiting long periods of time.
Overall, would def stay here again
