Description

Yotei Cottage ain’t pretty, but if you’re more into personality than looks, you’ll fall in love the minute you step through the front door. This quirky old building has a small lounge room and very basic kitchen on the ground level, with a mezzanine second level half way up the stairs with a double bed plonked right there. Up the next flight of stairs and you’re into a loft bedroom with three beds and an awesome view of Mt Yotei.

Sleeps: 5 guests (5 max)

Yotei Cottage Twin Bedroom | Lower Hirafu

This place is ideal for the unpretentious traveller who just want to ski and enjoy the cultural delights of Japan. There are half a dozen great restaurants and bars within a five minute walk from Yotei Cottage and you’re also right by the shuttle bus stop which makes the larger Hirafu your oyster.

This compact and cosy cabin welcomes you in with a lounge room fitted with all the essentials. There’s a relaxed seating area with an Apple TV to keep you entertained, flanked by a dining area and a basic but well-equipped little kitchen. Eat, ski, sleep, repeat – that’s Yotei Cottage in a nutshell.

Yotei Cottage doesn’t really have any bedrooms so to speak – it’s all open plan with no walls or doors separating the rooms. There is a bathroom right alongside where the double bed is, so at a stretch you could call this an ensuite bathroom. So long as you’re not strangers, this place is a great budget option. Families and groups of powder hounds will love it and it will make for a holiday to remember.

Yotei Cottage
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Yotei Cottage is centrally located in Lower Hirafu Village, which offers a mix of houses, apartments and pensions. It is a quieter part of the village and the main action is a little further uphill, but in exchange you get snow-covered vistas and cozy hidden gem restaurants.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

It’s probably a 15-minute walk uphill to the lifts, but your best bet is to jump on the shuttle and be up there in five minutes. The shuttle bus stops right across the road. Or if you rent a car, there’s parking space on site for you (just make sure you have a valid international driver’s license). Perfect!

RESTAURANTS / BARS

One of the best restaurants in the village, Izakaya Rin, is just a 50-metre walk from the house. If you want to eat here during peak season, you will probably need to book in advance. Another great restaurant Yo is also nearby, and again you will need to book in advance. The famous Fridge Door Bar is also only a short walk away.

    The cottage was wonderful to stay in. Fully furnished and perfectly equipped for all our needs. The cost for the quality of the property made us feel like we really got a deal and the location in the village was adequate for our needs.
