Chalet holiday rentals in Niseko, Abuta District

It was my second stay, but this time it was perfect. It was a little cold, so if I increased the heating, I was worried about drying, so I needed a humidifier. Other than that, there's nothing to worry about! It is also great to be just a short walk from Hanazono Ski Resort!

Great Stay! Clean and comfortable

This is a nice place and it is very clean. Host respond fast too. The only small flaw would be that it is suitable for stay in the cooler months because the bedrooms do not have air conditioners so it can be a bit stuffy unless you keep windows ajar. Other than that everything else is lovely.

Great house for skiing in Niseko / Hirafu House was beautiful, as pictured. Living room space and couches were large and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again when I come back. Steps away from the free shuttle to the mountain, which ran very often (every 15 /20 mins). Or, if you store your skis in the lockers at the Hirafu Mountain Sports Center Annex (one of the bus stops by Kings Gondola) then you can walk to the mountain in ~15-20 mins. The house is steps away from some of the great restaurants and bars of the areas, including Bar Gyu - so you are right in the heart of the action. Location was amazing. I was a bit worried at first that we were not closer to the mountain, but when we arrived I saw the location was really perfect for our needs. Only issues were minor - had an issue with check in but host responded immediately and cleared it up. Would have been nice to have a few extra towels, as only 1 was provided per person and they were small.

His service was amazing

Excellent accommodation. Great kitchen with a lovely outlook. Really good ski storage and drying room too. Very much encouraged stay and would come back again

Everyone in our group of 10 was very impressed with how comfortable and well located Kitsune House was. We would highly recommend for a group ski trip and would love to be back again soon. I would only add, as the organizer of my group, that the comms could be better streamlined (ie, I was dealing with multiple different people via email who kept asking or confirming things that I'd discussed previously - like asking for everyone's passport again, or me having the need to double confirm previously arranged pick-ups and drop-offs). But I may be a little picky on this one as everything worked out well in the end and H2 never failed to deliver. Our group would highly recommend Kitsune House / H2 Group for your Niseko holiday.

In preparing for the New Year's Eve trip from 2022 to 2023, I discovered Mr. Hanai's house on Airbnb.The location is fantastic, with large windows in the bedroom and living room on the second floor offering obvious panoramic views of Mt. Yotei with a fantastic view and complimentary daily breakfast.Mr. Hanai's place is much more cost-effective than other resorts next to the Niseko snowfields.The room is very clean, the facilities are very complete, the two cats, Bibi and An, are very cute, and the living experience is quite good.My three-day New Year's Eve trip with friends will be a precious memory for me in Hokkaido. Ps. On New Year's Day, the couple also provided us with very exquisite rice cakes and chicken soup, which was fantastic! Our group of 5 had a very comfortable and enjoyable 3 days at Hanai's place. Hanai-san's home is located at the foot of Mt. Yotei, and is a very quiet and beautiful house. The room is clean and well-equipped, and the two cats, Bibi and Anne, are very cute. New Year's Eve with friends at Hanai's house is an important memory in Hokkaido. Mr. Hanai's house is definitely a great choice for foreigners who want to experience the peaceful life in Japan. The construction of the home as well as the views and location are outstanding. We spent three very comfortable and pleasant days here, skiing in Hirafu during the day and sitting together eating Nabe at night. The host is very hospitable and can communicate in English very smoothly.

Very responsive and helpful host

Paul’s place was great. Location is very peaceful, very near the center of hirafu but you will still need a car - in fact a car is really necessary for niseko as the village is not really designed for walking with no sidewalks and the slopes are not well connected especially in any weather where the lifts shut. Place is very modern with great heating and amenities and fully equipped kitchen. It was very clean when we checked in and the bedrooms and bathrooms are both of great size. 4 people would fit comfortably. Paul is a fantastic host and very responsive.

Very beautiful house and the view surrounding the house is also very beautiful. Great kitchen with reasonable amount of utensils. The kids really enjoy the ping pong table in the basement! Overall the house is really good and I highly recommend.

A spacious and comfortable home with beautiful original features and decorations. The views in all directions were magical, especially the changing light on the snow, Mount Yotei and the surrounding mountains. Our children loved having the space to play in powder snow. Julien and Yi Ching went above and beyond to help us make our stay wonderful.
