Luxury Accommodations in Niseko Japan

If you are looking for luxury accommodations for your stay in Niseko, there is no shortage of them. However, know what it is that you are looking for. The international star rating system that many travelers from abroad are familiar with does not exist in this area. The star rating system in Niseko is based upon what they have available. What that means is, it may be the five star standard for them, but on an international level it might only rate as a four star.

In other words, be specific! Many of the hotels, pensions (bed and breakfasts) and chalets that are available definitely fall into luxury category. Instead of a specific location, most luxury accommodations are booked through a variety of agents or companies that rent the locations out to travelers. The Niseko Company is one such company. They will interview you to discover exactly what your needs are, the size of your party, whether you prefer to be in one of the larger hotels at the top of the slopes or more suited to one of the larger chalets or lodges. They are well known for their beautifully appointed, luxurious accommodations in a variety of venues. They help you determine if you want a place for a large group or small family, or perhaps a romantic getaway for two. Once they have an idea of what your perfect vacation accommodations entail, they look through the hotel rooms, pensions, villas and chalets to see what best suits your needs and points you in that direction.

The larger hotels are more likely to have what is considered “western style” accommodations – meaning large, soft, comfortable beds, and private bathrooms. They are also more likely to have broadband Internet, 24 hour on demand television movies, music of your choice, fireplaces, 24 hour 7 day per week concierge services and heated pools with spas.

As with any resort hotel, there are dining facilities, small boutiques, ski shops and instructors available, wonderful after diner lounges to sit and have a drink while reliving the day beside the fire and indulgences such as massages or spa treatments to help you unwind.

However, one needs to be careful because there are just as many that are “Japanese luxury” which means minimal furnishings, smaller beds, stark accommodations that are meant mostly for sleeping and are not usually so much for daytime uses.

Just be careful of what it is that you ask for. Be sure that you convey your desires clearly and you will not be disappointed! There are incredible penthouse suites that are available in the most luxurious accommodations in the Village. The best resort, luxury accommodations have ski-in, ski-out ability. They may cost a bit more, but worth every penny you will spend. Why not be treated like royalty on your vacation? You deserve it.
