MUSE Niseko
Overview

Modern luxury apartments
Mt Yotei views
Heart of the action

Sleek designer interiors
Gas fireplace
Walk to restaurants / bars

Walk to groceries
Guest local shuttle
Welcome centre transfers

Designed by prominent local resort architect Riccardo Tossani, the contemporary building has a unique exterior covered in scale-like tiles which are designed to catch the snowflakes and create shadows in the sunlight, creating an ever-changing visual dynamic in Niseko’s unique climate. The building also houses The North Face’s flagship concept store for Japan in the first two floors of the front of the building. Guests enjoy pincode access straight to the ski boot room from a side entrance, meaning you can go straight from the locker room out to the snow without heading through the lobby.

With interior furnishings selected by interior designer Atsuko Itoda, the apartments feature timber, stone and wall fabrics with earthy tones similar to a Japanese chalet. Every apartment, except the studios, has a fireplace. All kitchen and bathroom equipment and hardware are high-quality European & Japanese brands, with each apartment including wide-screen TVs, fibre-optic cable TV with international stations, Apple TV with rentable HD movies, iPod docking stations, wireless & LAN internet connection, as well as fully equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The bathrooms have large Japanese-style bathtubs and rain showers as well as heated towel racks and Japanese-style heated toilets.

All apartments including studio include a washing machine and dryer as well as storage space. Apartments face either out towards Upper Hirafu Village and the ski slope, or towards Lower Hirafu Village and Mt Yotei. Every apartment features floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of the view, or you can close the black out curtains in each room for maximum privacy.

MUSE Niseko
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Muse Niseko is located in the bustling heart of Hirafu, on one of the main streets dividing Upper Hirafu and Middle Hirafu. The streets below are buzzing with people wandering the streets in search of food or fun, while upstairs in the apartments you’d barely know it thanks to the privacy they afford.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

The lifts are just several minutes stroll away – your best bet is to walk to the high-speed Ace Family Quad lift. This is perfect for beginners, and intermediate and above skiers can use this to get further up the mountain. Meanwhile the free village shuttle stops just a few steps down the road and can take you to any lift or restaurant in the village.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

You’re right in the heart of the dining and entertainment precinct here. In all directions there are eat streets, hole-in-the-wall-restaurants and bars, and some of Niseko’s best restaurants – everything from Michelin-starred Kamimura to an international outdoor food court within just a few steps.

    I spent 7d6n in MUSE Niseko Apartment 202, Dec’23. Nila (powderlife team) helped to arrange everything and was in constant communication with her via e-mail, with extremely fast AND helpful responses and suggestions – one of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Would love to make another trip there again and tryout other properties under Nila.

    Pros:
    – Very spacious apartment, with a kitchen area, large fridge, huge bathroom, worth every penny spent
    – Great service from the team (I left my credit card at the check-in counter which is in a different building, they drove over to return it)
    – Great location (within walking distance to many restaurants, Lawson, Seicomart, and the Niseko family ace lift)
    – Balcony was filled with snow, which was great as my niece could make snow ducks there without needing to go down to the ground floor
    – Kitchen was filled with everything we needed (pots, pans, utensils, multiple knives, wine glasses, normal mugs, even a collander!)
    – Housekeeping was awesome, they send in 3 staff to clean the entire apartment within a short time as I was still in the room (including changing bedsheets)

    Con (only 1):
    – Overnight parking will be a bit far (down the hill behind Lawson, about 5 minutes walk through thick snow)

    My favorite place in Hirafu! Amazing interior design and furniture, stunning view of Mount Yotei from the living room and bedroom. What else?

    I had a great stay here! The property was amazing, rooms were very nice and comfortable. Great accommodation for a group of friends or family. The location is absolutely fantastic, walking distance cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. If it sunny day you will spoil by the amazing Mt. Yotei view. I love to come back again :)

    I fell in love with Muse Niseko from the moment that I have entered this property! It has a spacious living, kitchen and dining area. I can see the view of Mt. Yotei from the living room when it’s not too cloudy. What I really like is the location of this property is walking distance to the best of everything! There are a few restaurants, bars, mini market and bus stop close by. I’ll definitely stay here again!

    OMG! Apartment 401 is amazing. This fabulous apartment has a very dark design, with black walls, dark furnishing and might not be for everyone. But for those looking for a sleek and sexy design it’s perfect. The views are amazing and on our last day at MUSE Niseko the sun came out and we were able to see Mt Yotei right in front of our living room. There is a fireplace and fully equipped kitchen with everything you need (stove, teppanyaki stove, full size fridge) so it’s perfect for entertaining. Plus a Nespresso machine which was a real hit. I love the MUSE and the location is incredible as you are in the heart of the action. Fast Wi-Fi as well for those who need to work like me! Highly recommend the property.

    We spent 7 nights in flat 201 on 2nd floor. Travel agency “Vacation Niseko”, which managed the entire building and booked private transfer for us from Chitose aiport. Someone was waiting for us at Muse reception upon arrival. The Muse is a recent confidential and nice boutique concept, extremely well located in Niseko Hirrafu. All major famous restaurants are reachable in walking distance (5-10 min). Hotel has shuttle service in the morning to the gondola stations and the village shuttle service (till 8:30pm) is only 2 min away. Supermarkets easy to reach as well. The flat was quiet and warm from a feeling point of view. The gaz cheminey was one of the kid highlights, giving a nice warm feeling when coming back from a long cold ski day. From the large and open living room: views on Mount Yotei. The kitchen was very well equiped with all necessary items.
