Kisetsu’s name is the Japanese word for “season” and indeed, this chalet is the perfect place to enjoy Niseko at any time of the year. During the warmer months, you can enjoy time out on the balconies on each floor overlooking the green of spring and summer, or the rich colours of autumn. During winter, you can lounge by the cosy wood-burning fireplace in the lounge room, or soak in the bathtub to ease those aching muscles after a long day on the slopes.
The property is fully self-contained, with a modern open-plan kitchen and living/dining area housed on the ground floor. As well as the fireplace, the lounge room also has a wide-screen satellite TV with Netflix. There is high-speed internet access, a laundry with washing machine and dryer, and a ski storage and drying room.
The upper floor of the house has three bedrooms, all with double beds, two of which have doors leading out to the upstairs balcony. The house has two bathrooms on the upper level, one with a bathtub – perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day of skiing! One of the upstairs bathrooms is an en suite from the master bedroom. There is also a third toilet on the lower level, just off the ski drying room.

Location
SETTING / ATMOSPHERE
Kisetsu is located in the quieter Izumikyo 1 area, sitting on the outskirts of busy Hirafu Village – just a stone’s throw from all the action.
LIFTS / TRANSPORT
It’s a fairly easy walk up to the main part of the village, but if you don’t feel like walking or you want to head up straight to the lifts, the shuttle stop is only 50m from the front door.
RESTAURANTS / BARS
While central Hirafu Village is known for its great restaurants and bars, Izumikyo has some great local options to offer as well, otherwise, the village is only a short trip on the shuttle.

Sara –
Great value chalet situated in East Hirafu. The furnishings are simple but who cares as it’s a great base for those who are going to be skiing most of the trip!
