"The location of the hotel on a bluff above Lake Toya gives guest an incredible view of the lake and adds to a feeling of quiet and luxury. Excellent service, along with beautiful rooms and dining (breakfast included with the dinner an option) are further enhanced by an open bar lounge and free shuttle to the lake shore for fire works.
Excellent place to stay!"

"Breakfast and dinner buffet had a lot of options, but honestly everything was a little off to me. The grilled meat was good. But even the ramen and curry which I enjoyed in Sapporo, didn’t taste that great."

This ryokan was wonderful. The service was excellent and location to Niseko Annapuri was a bonus. First the ryokan. Positives were the large onsen, attentive staff and cleanliness of the hotel. The Kaiseki was delicious with a good variety. In comparison to other kaiseki menus we had in Hokkaido, this was tops for us. Only negatives was the rooms were a bit dated. "Shared bathroom" means the room had a toilet and sink, but now shower. But then again there was the great onsen. The website said...

Great little condo, although was a little tricky to find at first. That said, there was someone waiting to answer the phone when we needed to call to find it.
Condo has a free ski shuttle in the mornings and afternoons that is shared with another place or two. Worked fine unless you need to leave during mid-day.
The kitchenette does not have a stove, so you can't really cook anything, just heat up stuff in the microwave. This was a big bummer and they should add a hot plate or single burner...

The townhome was nice. Very clean and the reception desk & staff were extremely helpful & very timely when we called. Spacious home, heated floors very cozy. The shuttle service was good however being that it’s a little out of the city it would be more convenient to have a rental car. Wonderful & relaxing family holiday. The kitchen was also well equipped for cooking and staying in.

We found the Hirafuti hotel to be very comfortable. We booked a western style room with a private onsen and it was perfect. The room was very comfortable and we loved our beautiful view of the slopes from the tub. The staff was very helpful and many people spoke English which helped us a lot. We enjoyed the bar in the lobbey and the very easy access to skiing with the ski lockers. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning and found that they had many great options.

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...

The Gondola Chalet was the perfect place for my group snowboarding at Grand Hirafu. Easy to find and check in.
The chalets are walking distance to the King Gondola. So easy to get to the mountain first thing in the morning.
The chalets have a great view, lots of room, very clean and everything you’ll need in the kitchen. We cooked at the chalet twice and walked to dinner nearby at some very yummy restaurants. This place is better than advertised.
The concierge is very helpful and even left us...

We were a bit concerned about the location, as we had no car, but the owners were kind enough to pick us up and return is to Toya train station. And we were glad we decided to stay at the hotel.
Room was spacious, overlooking the lake (though fireworks are remote) and with a good bed.
Breakfast was nice, though western style. We also ordered some things for dinner. Reasonable pricing and tasty.
Staff was very helpful and kind.
