Kamakura Living and Dining Area with TV | Middle Hirafu

The Kamakura apartments share their name with the ancient capital of Japan famous for its huge, 13-metre high bronze Buddha statue, the Daibutsu (worth a visit if you’re stopping over!) But back to Niseko and these apartments, which are built in Canadian style, offering modern, relaxed holiday surroundings with quality timber flooring and contemporary furniture. LCD TV, satellite TV channels, DVD player and MP3 sound system are all part of the equipment. The basement has ski storage and lockers shared between the guests.

Kamakura comprises four apartments: 2 x two-bedroom units sleeping four + one extra guest, and 2 x three-bedroom options sleeping six + three extra guests if necessary. The 2-bedroom apartments have one en suite and one guest bathroom, while the 3-bedroom apartments have two ensuites and one guest bathroom. An internal laundry is equipped with a washing machine and dryer.

In all apartments the open-plan kitchen is fitted with a dishwasher, double sink, stove, microwave and a generous selection of Western cooking utensils. The kitchen area flows into open-plan living and dining areas. From their vantage point just above Lower Hirafu Village, Kamakura apartments enjoy stunning views of Mt Yotei, especially from the balcony which adjoins the living area.

Kamakura
Location

Setting / Atmosphere

Kamakura sits at the bottom of Middle Hirafu, close to the more relaxed lower village. This is a central location within easy reach of dining and the shuttle bus routes, but it’s still tucked enough away to maintain some peace and quiet.

Lifts / Transport

The ACE Family Chairlift is about 500 metres away, but the walk might feel a bit longer with your ski gear in tow. Luckily, the shuttle bus stop is close by, so reaching the slopes will be easy.

Restaurants / Bars

Kamakura sits within short walking distance from Hirafu’s many dining and nightlife options. There’s a quirky little pizza restaurant right opposite the building, appropriately called Yummy’s. The main dining strip of Momiji-Zaka is just 100 metres away, so you’re never too far from your next great meal.

    We had the best time and really enjoyed our stay at Kamakura. The apartment was lovely and there was heaps of room for 7 adults. The bedrooms were spacious and light-filled, the housekeeping service was great, and it was a great location – you could walk to the main street easily, and could even walk to and from the lifts if you were feeling energetic (we mostly chose to take the shuttle though). The SkiJapan shuttle service was amazing also, we used this every day to get to the lifts and out for dinner and to the onsen. Would highly recommend this accommodation, we will be back!

    The overall quality of the apartment/ ammenities as-well as the hospitality of the staff was excellent. Location was great, as shuttles would stop right outside the front door for easy transportation to and from the lifts. Only hick-up was the departure time we provided to the ski-Japan team was misinterpreted, whereby the provided shuttle transport arrived at the apartment the time we were to be at the welcome centre where our bus to Sapporo was departing from. Although this mistake was a simple misunderstanding it made departure quite difficult. Other than that, the stay itself was superb.
