SCOUT REVIEW
Hirafu Houses are a collection of simple yet stylish properties located in various parts of Lower Hirafu.
Each property features an open plan living and dining area decorated simply and tastefully. All the mod cons you need are here, including a laundry, full kitchen, modern electronics and free Wi-Fi. Additionally, these houses come with ski storage areas with drying racks – although given that guests can use the complementary ski storage facilities that are right on the slopes, there’s hardly the need for them.
There’s nothing over-the-top about these apartments, so they’ll appeal to a wide variety of tastes – in fact they’re perfectly suited to families or couples who don’t want to pay over-the-top prices.
Meanwhile, the houses are all within walking distance of the lower Hirafu restaurants and bars, and are also close to the ski shuttle stops.
Who should stay here
Families or groups of friends who want a decent mid-range apartment that has all the mod cons.
Location
These houses are scattered around lower Hirafu and are within walking distance of the lower Hirafu restaurants and bars. They are all close to the ski shuttle stops.
