Ummei
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Ummei is located right between Middle and Lower Hirafu. It’s a quiet residential area and there are sloping spare lots all around the house that fill with snow and provide endless fun for kids – it is on the main road through the lower village though so younger kids would need to be supervised and older kids warned.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

The free shuttle bus stopping about 100m away will transport you up to the ski lifts in about five to 10 minutes, depending on how many passengers are waiting as it loops through the lower village. It’s about 10-minutes’ walk to the closest ski lift and the heart of the village, where you will find everything you need.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

Within five minutes’ walk from the chalet are plenty of great restaurants and bars. Just around the corner is the famous Momiji Zaka Street which is packed with a great variety of restaurants, including some of the most popular – we’re talking Ezo Seafood, The Barn, Full Note Jazz Bar, Tamashii Bar, Yosaku and more!

    I stayed in one of the Powderlife villas for the Christmas holidays with my family. We stayed in Lower HIrafu and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The communication for the booking and pre-arrival was fantastic and I was confident that everything would be as I expected. The villa was in a great location near 2 shuttle stops, or a short uphill walk to the buses that travelled between the different slopes. We had a fantastic view of Mt Yotei. The staff at Powderlife were always available to answer any question or attend to any need.

    I think the design and furnishings are quite simple yet comfortable. The location is right around the corner from the shuttle so no complaints there. Plus I find the property spacious upstairs in the living room and even the bedrooms are too. The views of Mt Yotei are pretty amazing too.
