As soon as Japan opened to visitors, our family of 10 booked a ski trip to Niseko. We stayed the last week of December and through new year's celebration. The house was absolutely perfect. A great location just a few minutes to the Hilton and Niseko Village where we skied daily. Plenty of room for all of us, kitchen well stocked, private location with a beautiful view outside. Since it snowed 90% of the time we were there, it was soo nice that Tom was out bright and early to plow the roads. Use of the van was a HUGE benefit making daily runs to the store, a ski/board rack for easy transport and the van was easy to drive in the snow. All details were taken care of from Fujimi meeting us at the bus stop (we used Hokkaido Resort Liner) and was able to transport all of our luggage of 20 bags with ski gear, she provided help in our planning process, left some breakfast food since we arrived late at night, and found a private transport back to Sapporo. The Amazing Snow coupled with a beautiful home made for the perfect vacation. We will definitely be back!
