Miru Niseko

Nice out of town location

Highly recommended for young families. The hotel provides hourly transportation from hotel to town and back, making it fuss free for families not experienced to drive in the snow. The hotel also provides transfer from the nearest Kutchan train station to hotel. The 3hrs train journey from New Chitose airport to Kutchan station is manageable. The view from the room is picturesque every morning. The low ratio sharing of washer + dryer per block of room is life changing!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast provided at Blackwood Grill was very good, shuttle accessibility to the mountain was very easy with schedule provided by front desk, rooms were clean, and staff was very kind and accommodating. I would recommend to anyone visiting Hirafu.

things I loved about Miru Niseko: + hotel shuttle and Hirafu free shuttle to the gondolas right in front of the lobby + arranged train station pickups & welcome center drop off + ski gear storage room + indoor and outdoor onsen (tattoos allowed) + free (shared) washer/dryer + sizable room with dishware and cutlery + quick response when calling front desk + Slippers for the room and separate slippers for the room + actual king bed in western style room + replenish the complimentary water bottles Other things not that could’ve been better: -WiFi was okay, sometimes it didn’t work well (QR code in pamphlet didn’t work) -slippers didn’t feet larger feet - food options are extremely limited, remote location, restaurant on site required advance reservation, no kitchenette - The timing options for the shuttle were not as frequent as I would’ve liked. Like a shuttle would go to one place randomly during the day but then you could be stuck there for a few hours. Biggest downside for us was the lack of food options since it required us to go back into town. I’m sure it’s fine for many people, but we were usually so tired after riding that it would be nice to just walk outside or make a meal in the room.

Great place to stay, we loved it

I only stayed for 1 night and wish I booked longer! The staff was very kind and understanding when we arrived late to check-in. The property was nicely maintained, all public areas new and clean, and the public bath amazing! We slept soundly in comfortable beds and enjoyed a spacious and clean bathroom. 10/10!

A few minutes drive to Niseko ski area.The hotel room is nice. Need to walk a little stairs. You can enjoy hot bath after ski at night.

Clean hotel w great service

A third hotel stay of this trip, and so far it's the best of the 3 hotels... it looks brand new!!

Everything was great and exceeded my expectations. Travelled with my family and we were pleasantly surprised by how spacious, comfortable, spotless and stylish in its own minimalist yet premium way. Nice view of Mt Yotei from the room and breakfast was good too. Room itself is pretty complete with amenities including microwave. Staff speaks English very well

If you are visiting Kotchan or Niseko and want to stay away from larger resorts then this is the place. Hotel has excellent views of Mt. Yotei, spacious rooms, and wonderful staff. This was our second visit and we were treated as family. We hope to return next year and would rate this hotel above excellent!

Would recommend car, but great place to stay with wonderful views of Mt. Yotei. Not much in area but still a great place to stay if you like countryside. Wide and spacious rooms with spa! Service was nice as well.

Spacious and comfortable room Nice breakfast

Excellent stay, spacious room with super comfy bed, lovely friendly staff, great onsen, quality food, The shuttle service works well to Grand Hirafu for skiing and town visits. Would definitely stay again.

Love this hotel for friendliness, best service and breakfast, comfortable stay in Niseko.

Cozy little hotel. Comfortable bed. The rooms give you a fengshui feeling. Staff super helpful

Everything is perfect except a bit minnor which they only have spa with hot water but not onsen. Still highly recommended thought.

Plenty of space to relax away from the buzy town of hirafu.

Very nice rooms, but if your staying long the spot lights are too bright and not dim-able and one switch turns them all on so sitting on the sofa you will get uncomfortable. We stayed on the ground floor, the vibrations from the upper floor will be felt in G/F with a lot of heavy foot steps.

My stay at Nest in the Trees was perfect! From the second I booked the hotel online, their great customer service started - checking my requirements, providing guidance with travel from the hotel and making all relevant bookings for transport and activities even before I stepped into the country. The hotel is stylish, welcoming, comfortable and has all the amenities you’ll need. You are provided with traditional Japanese robes to use whilst in the hotel, which we comfortably used. The breakfast buffet was a delightful start to the day and if you get a chance to eat in their restaurant - the black grill was one of our culinary favourites, whilst all dining staff provided the best of services. The rooms are very large and comfortable; with everything provided that you’ll need - including a fridge and microwave! The hot Japanese spring spa is also a must whilst staying at the hotel - fabulous setting and a great way to unwind and relax those tired bones after some amazing days exploring the slopes. They have a regular shuttle bus ran by the most friendliest, helpful drivers you’ll come across. Helping with luggage and skis/boards and arriving on time at the regular stops - hotel, town, welcome centre, gondola. I would like to say a special thanks to Olivia who helped me plan a long solo journey and made my experience painless and organised. I hope one day to get a chance to return to Japan and would definitely recommend The Nest at the Trees.
