Cozy & amazing stay at North Point

Reviewed By Nazharia S

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 days and we absolutely loved it! Christian was the manager for this season & he's awesome. He made us feel at home from the beginning & cooked yummy breakfast every morning. The owners were there with us (Peter and family) & they were super friendly and accomodating. They have such a lovely lodge and I really recommend anyone to come and stay at North Point for a relaxing and cozy getaway from the busy Hirafu and after a day in the slopes. The lodge is just 10-15 minute walk away from Hirafu Welcome Center. The North point crew have shuttles in the morning to take anyone up to the slopes so not to worry! The room is so so so comfortable and cozy - we both had good sleeps during our stay. I would 100% come back here to stay especially cuz its such a GREAT price point and deal for Niseko and being in the heart of Hirafu!!! If the luxurious and fancy chalets and hotels are not in your price range, THIS is the one you should look at. You're taken care of from the beginning until the end of your trip. You'll have a wonderful time @ North Point!

Excellent Homestay/Japanese-style B&B in Yamanakako Hirano

Reviewed By jewang820

Yamanakako-mura The Best Homestay Hotel in Yamanakako! My husband and I wanted to see Mt Fuji, so my friend recommended this homestay/min shu ku/民宿/ホームステイ. We came from Tokyo, so we went to the website and booked the Highway Bus from Shinjuku to Yamanakako. The destination is called Yamanakako Hirano, the last stop. Once arrived at the Yamanakako Hirano, it was about 8-10 minutes (depends how fast you walk with your luggage) to the homestay. Easy. Just use Google Maps if you need direction. Upon arriving we took our shoes off and put on the slippers. I know people in the US are used to wearing shoes right into the house, please DO NOT do this. Make sure you take your shoes off and wear slippers! This is to respect the hosts and the Japanese culture. We got there @ 3, easy check in process. The host is really friendly! Our room is the twin beds with private toilet only. The shower is public, separated by women and men. I believe there is a room with private bath and toilet, but it was not available. 6:30pm (18:00) is dinner. Omg, there was a lot of food! The hosts prepared the meal with fresh and seasonal ingredients, and they were very tasty. You can tell them about your food/dietary restrictions, and I’m sure they can do their best to accommodate. We woke up at 4:30am to capture the magnificent Mt Fuji, and it was worth it. If you get up early, you can catch the “Red Fuji” 赤富士. We were so happy to see it, glorious sight indeed!! 8am is breakfast, and again, so much food and delicious!! Check out is @ 10am. I definitely recommend this homestay if you want to look at Mt Fuji. I went on the tour for Hakone/Lake Ashi/Ropeway/ Mt Fuji 5th Station twice but nothing beats this one

Pension Yamada

Great Pension Yamada Family are so accomodating

Reviewed By Hydrology1

Shared Bathroom and I always get the small room but am happy 8 mins walk to the Gondy or you can get a lift if needed. Food is great although if you don't like Japanese ask for the Western menu. Great communal area downstairs so you get to meet other people. Definitely Recommend and will stay there till I build my own place
