The property has plenty of communal living areas on both floors of the lodge, offering plenty of space to kick back and relax after a big day on the mountain. It’s also the perfect spot to meet new friends and potential riding buddies! If you want to watch a movie there’s a TV with English-language satellite and a DVD. To ensure you can keep in touch with friends and family back home the lodge has wireless internet connection throughout.

There’s a coin-operated laundry with washing machines and clothes dryers, secure internal ski and snowboard storage and a large drying room for your clothing and boots. There’s also a traditional Japanese-style Hinoki (Japanese cypress) wood bath tub so you can soak away your aches and pains after a long day of powder hunting.

Alpine Central
Location

Setting / Atmosphere

Alpine Central has 10 guest rooms, including two twin rooms with ensuite, three triple-share rooms with ensuite, two quad-share rooms with ensuite as well as two twin and one quad share room with shared bathrooms.

Lifts / Transport

Alpine Central is located in the Izumikyo 2 area in East Hirafu Village. It’s a little way out of the main part of the village and it will take you at least 20 minutes to walk in. The good news is that the free village shuttle bus stops right outside the front door, and will have you up to the lifts in about 5 minutes!

Restaurants / Bars

There is a popular café right near the lodge which serves great fresh sandwiches and tasty cakes. There is also a bakery and two Japanese restaurants within walking distance. If you want to head in to the main part of the village for dinner or drinks you can catch the shuttle bus up the road, but keep in mind that the shuttle stops at 9pm so if you’re having a late one, you will need to either catch a taxi or take a long walk home (at least it’s downhill!).

    My husband and I stayed at Alpine Central for two nights. Both Rhys and Jenna were incredible hosts. They responded to our emails promptly and were incredibly helpful and patient with our two young children (age 6 and age 2).

    While this is essentially a place perfect for your travellers and couples we felt comfortable here with the children and they certainly enjoyed chatting to everyone!

    Rooms are basic and the bathroom was tiny in the room we had but for the price and for only two nights it was great. We could have happily stayed longer.

    Location is great for Hirafu, the free shuttle bus near by has you in central Hirafu in less than 10 minutes.

    Breakfast is simple but tasty, scrambled eggs, toast and a variety of cereals. What more would you want?!

    We are happy about our stay at Alpine Central. The hosts made our Stay very comfortable. The place is very accessible by Bus and within a 15min walk from the Centre. The place offers Cosy romms and has a great Living room to share with other Visitors.

    Absolute ripper accommodation! The whole staff, Jenna, Rhys and Andi, are all absolute legends and are always up for a chat! They pick you up and drop you off at your bus and put on an unreal brekky every morning! The rooms are fantastic, free wi fi, hot water, and an excellent drying room. Alpine is also just around the corner from a bus stop where the free shuttle bus stops to take you to the slopes. Would highly recommend! :)
