Great vlog! I was in Japan for 3 weeks last winter and stayed in Niseko for about a week, but in a small hotel in Hirafu village that was a bit off the slopes, but still well located. After seeing the Hilton, there's no way I could stomach that price to stay there even if it is right at the base!

Im not sure when he booked but you can get it right now for about 15k yen for a weekday and 35k for weekend. Pretty sick price for a ski in ski out, $100/$200 a night. No complaints for that price!

We have 6 nights booked at the Hilton Niseko for next February. Planning to take the Shinkansen up the coast of Japan stopping in Sendai and Hakodate before snowboarding. Hopefully we don't end up in the same bathroom situation as my wife would hate that. Also planning to both get the Hilton Aspire card before the trip to take advantage of the $250 resort credit.

The hotel has A LOT of rooms, I'm pretty sure most are the same. I don't think they are planning to renovate anytime soon so don't expect anything too different. It's nice that it's ski in and ski out but the hotel can use an overall makeover.

Thanks for the informative vid. I stayed in Hirafu this season in an AirBnB, a block from Bar Gyu. It was nice being able to walk to the restaurants, konbinis, and cafes. If you have an IKON pass, you can ride the local bus (for free) that takes you in the direction of either Kutchan or Annupuri. Is spending points for Business Class on such a short hop worth it?

Thanks for watching! The Shinkansen doesn’t take you directly to Niseko you have to transfer one or two times, and it’s longer of a trip. There are budget friendly options in Niseko in or near Hirafu but they won’t be ski in and ski out

But you're saying you got the FULL breakfast with Gold??!!? smh, it's non-cancelable for me. Wife won't be happy with the sink behind the toilet, but good thing there's another one by the front door.
