3-Star Hotels in Kutchan

Right at the centre of Hirafu - you have to walk a bit upslope to the ski lifts. Check in is at another building / hotel so beware if you're not driving. The space is well equipped with a full kitchen and washing machine, as well as heaters. There is also a ski locker on the ground floorwhere you can pit your ski equipment. However we noticed a smell of fresh renovating works once we entered the room - though we're not sure where that came from. If you're driving, beware they only have 2 parking spaces in front of the building which are not designated for guests. So if someone else parked that space, you have to find somewhere where you're not considered a hassle. Note you are not supposed to park behind the building nor the space next to the 2 parking spaces.

For this price, the location is excellent; it's about a 10-minute walk to the village of Hirafu. It's very quiet. The breakfast is very Western-style. A shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes. There's no onsen (hot spring), but you can use the onsen at the sister hotel, Vale. A noticeable problem is the poor soundproofing. The walls are okay, but the doors aren't soundproof.

This villa is highly recommended for families! There are two rooms on the first floor, each with its own shower and bathroom, and a bathroom with a toilet in the living room on the second floor, making three rooms in total perfectly adequate! There's also a local Lucky Supermarket nearby, where simple ingredients can be enjoyed with family laughter for a hearty dinner! Parking is available right outside, and the CI/CO system is located on a flat-paneled entrance. It's a fantastic stay, but be careful when showering, as the clear glass has a wide gap that can easily overflow.

Room is very modern and has plenty of amenities, including a private bath and toilet. Bed was comfortable. WiFi and heating worked well. This is a self-service accommodation. No reception or staff onsite. They’ll send you a code for the lockbox that the room key is in. The resort condo is attached to the office for the RV Park that shares the parking lot. They seem to be used to people coming in there to check in. Location is not very central. About a 15-20 minute walk to restaurants.
