self-contained apartments Niseko.. Recommendations?

Hey all,

Am thinking of going to Niseko next Feb and thinking of renting a self-contained apartment now that we have a little tacker to take along. Has anyone stayed apartment style in Niseko? Any recommendations?

There’s so many out there it would be nice to find somewhere that comes with a recommendation

I should state I have never been to Hokkaido so I have no idea about the layout of niseko other than looking at village maps.

Cheers

Oh, I have a friend that has a place in Niss. I will suss her out for you. Mates rates kinda stuff.

I have a mate as well

But it is kinda fancy unless you take 8 - 10 ppl

Waiting with baited breath Azz, thanks

Thanks Oz. Will check em out! nice TR btw

Yeah, like oz said, we stayed in a HT Property this year!!!!!

Have ya called up Deep Powder Tours to see what sort of rate they can get ya?????

Pretty sure they’ve got 25% Early Bird Bookings on HT Properties at the mo?????

They might even hunt down some good flight deals too?????

The Early Bird gets the Worm!!!!! By Bird I mean you, and by Worm…........... well you know!!!!! 

2 words, car danchi!! Might not be so good with a little tacker but its gotta be cheap as un-pronounceable japanese chips.

Yeah followed your earlier advice mizu and contacted deep powder. Offer was 10 days in apartment plus 8 days lift passes for $4000 (including early bird discount). Not bad, but still a bit out of range…. Especially since lift tix are only 40 bucks a day..

Think the place Azz got me onto is still the front runner (235 per night for 2 ppl).

I tell ya, one power ball… !!

Did ya ask them for cheaper options, as they can pretty much lock in any places in the village?????

You tell them your budget, and see what they come up with?????

Don’t forget to ask if it also includes transfers from Chitose, and from the Welcome Center > Accom!!!!!

Don’t forget that if you pay for your own transfer from Chitose for an extra 1,000 yen you get a day pass!

(would be interested to see how much deep powder tack on for the transfer!)

TBH I can’t go past the guys Azz put me onto. Best location/price of anything else I’ve been able to suss out!

Good point on the transfers Oz and Miz, any idea how much said transfers usually run at?

Around 3800-5000Y I think!!!!! That’s one Adult Return!!!!!

There are a few companies that run buses up to Niseko, and they will drop you at the Welcome Center!!!!!

From there, you’ll either have your accom pick you up, get a taxi, or walk it!!!!! (Weather Dependent and location on the walk)

Where is the place that Azz put ya onto????? What’s the name of it?????

Here’s an example mate!!!!!

http://www.goodsports.co.jp/white_eng/ski-bus/niseko-chitose/

5,500 yen including A Grand United Day lift ticket.

I used this company twice and my mates who go several times a season (owners of the house i posted)

I might be wrong, oz, but that link shows it at 6000Y, and that’s only for Hirafu?????

Does a Hirafu Pass give use of the free shuttles/kutchan bus, etc????? (I’ve always had a United Pass, so I don’t know)
