Collected from Hirafu Welcome centre to be driven to property, host answered all of my questions about local dining options as well as off-piste mountain areas

I stayed at JAL City Sapporo Nakajima Park for one night and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is just a short walk from Nakajima Koen Station, making it very convenient, yet the area is quiet and peaceful at night. The staff were polite and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere from check-in to check-out. The room amenities were decent, especially the complete skincare set which included cleansing oil, face wash, toner, and moisturizer. The public bath was clean and well-maintained, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The breakfast buffet had just the right variety—not overwhelming, but enough to feel satisfying. On the day I stayed, they offered a mild-flavored venison (Ezo deer) curry and a ramen tasting corner featuring different styles from around Hokkaido, which made for a unique and enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely choose this hotel again when visiting Sapporo.

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
