Description

Hana & Jo is a lovely pair of townhouses and really, these two tick all the boxes: the design is warm and inviting, the large windows look out to piles of snow and you’re right by the shuttle bus route – and one of Hirafu village’s favourite cafes, the Graudunden bakery! A great pick for families and groups looking for that sweet spot between comfort and price.

Semi-detached townhouses

Family friendly

Timeless design
Warm modern interiors
Walk to restaurants / bars

On free village shuttle route
Welcome centre transfers

Beautifully located on the edge of Hirafu village, these townhouses enjoy the best of both worlds – easy access to the village’s conveniences and the ski fields, yet tucked in a quiet neighbourhood amongst the trees. Their design takes advantage of their picturesque position, with large picture windows framing the outside snowscape.

Built in a modern alpine style, the developers have made generous use of timber and stone. Exposed timber beams accent the high ceilings, the floors are timber and the wide windows are framed in, you guessed it, timber. The colour scheme’s warm tones enhance the snug atmosphere. An inviting feature is the second-floor living area with its high ceilings and picture windows which cleverly frame the picturesque outdoors. Better than a wide-screen TV! Privacy is assured in the lower-floor bedrooms with modern roll-down blinds.

The two townhouses are split over two levels – bedrooms on the first level and spacious living area and kitchen up on the second. There are two bedrooms, each with two singles sleeping four guests in each townhouse, but a fifth guest can be accommodated for an additional fee. There are two bathrooms in each unit, one with a shower and the other with a bath and shower.

On the ground floor closest to the entrance, the first bedroom features two single beds and sleeps up to two guests. Ample closet and floor space is provided, with windows looking out to the neighbourhood. There is a bathroom with a shower close by on the same floor, and another one with a bath upstairs.

BEDROOM 2

The second bedroom is also on the ground floor and it’s basically the mirror image of the first bedroom. There are two single beds in the room and again, a bathroom with a shower sits close by on the same floor. Alternatively, you can use the bathroom upstairs and enjoy a long soak in the tub.

Hana & Jo
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Hana & Jo is located in Izumikyo 2 on the outskirts of Hirafu village, a quiet, wooded precinct ideal for a family holiday or those who don’t want to be right in the middle of the action.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

The townhouses are not within comfortable walking distance from the shops and slopes but with the free shuttle bus stop a minute’s walk away the slopes are but a short 5-minute ride. There is also parking for one vehicle for those with their own transport.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

Good fortune would have it that three or four well recommended restaurants and cafes are nearby, including the aforementioned Graubunden. Trying the local specialty, soup curry, is must-do and Tsubara Tsubara restaurant will see to that. If you decide to eat or shop in the village the shuttle runs until 9pm – after that it’s advised to take a taxi to avoid slipping on the roads and pavements if it ices up late.

    Fantastic accommodation, walking distance to everything we needed and a short bus ride to the slopes (with a bus stop 20 metres from the front door). Powderlife made all the arrangements easy which meant the trip was smooth and we had more time to enjoy Niseko.

    Hana & jo was the best accommodation we had during our stay in Hokkaido. The apartment is very clean and modern. It has everything you need for a short holiday stay. Suitable for small family. We will be back.
