Hinzan is an elegant modern block of luxury ski apartments, set in a prime Middle Hirafu locale. The apartments bring New-York style spaces (some of the apartments are spread across two levels) to the snowy Hirafu landscape.

Hinzan was designed by a renowned local Japanese architect who is known for sleek, modern interiors with industrial modern Japanese influences. This sophisticated style is evident in every surface and corner of the Hinzan building, and no expense has been spared to create the ultimate modern alpine retreat. The stylish, self-contained apartments feature wooden flooring throughout, and are centrally heated to ensure comfort.
The open-plan kitchen, living and dining areas are spacious, and offer the perfect place to relax after a long day on the mountain. The living areas are equipped with LCD TVs with satellite connection so you have access to English-language movies, news, documentaries and more. There’s also a DVD player and iPod dock, plus the apartments are connected to wireless internet throughout.
Hinzan offers studio and 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. Some of the apartments are split-level, making them a great option for groups of friends travelling together while for families, the ground floor apartments are all on one level. Most bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms, and the master bedrooms have a deep bathtub in the ensuite – perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day on the mountain.

Hinzan
Location
Setting / Atmosphere
Hinzan is located just shy of the Middle Village, down a more residential street yet only a short walk downhill from the main intersection. It’s a great night life district with some of Hirafu’s best bars nearby and restaurants just around the corner from the main street.
Lifts / Transport
The Ace Family Pair lift is only a five-minute walk up the road, and it’s also a short walk to the shuttle bus if you want to head straight to the Gondola or any other lift in the village.
Restaurants / Bars
The apartments are within walking distance of plenty of restaurants and bars, so the toughest choice you’ll have to make is which one to pick! One stellar choice is Sushi Kato, an acclaimed restaurant located on Hinzan’s own ground floor. The Seicomart convenience store is also just up the top of the hill so if you need to stock up on groceries to cook at home, then you don’t have far to go.
