SCOUT REVIEW
Youtei Tracks in Niseko is a sleek, contemporary apartment complex that blends luxury with convenience right in the heart of Hirafu Village. Offering some of the most stylish self-contained accommodation in Niseko, it’s ideal for travelers who want a high-end, independent stay within walking distance of both the slopes and the village buzz.
The apartments at Youtei Tracks range from compact studios to sprawling penthouses, all featuring clean, modern lines and top-quality furnishings. Many units come with panoramic windows framing the iconic Mount Yotei, one of Hokkaido’s most photogenic landmarks. The interiors are minimalist yet warm, with natural materials and subtle Japanese design touches.
Each apartment is fully equipped with a modern kitchen, laundry facilities, and spacious living areas — perfect for guests who value comfort and flexibility. After a big day on Niseko’s famous powder, relax in your own lounge with a glass of wine and watch the snow fall outside.
While Youtei Tracks doesn’t offer traditional hotel services like a restaurant or spa, it more than makes up for it with its unbeatable location. The Ace Family Chairlift is less than five minutes away on foot, and the vibrant Hirafu dining scene — including popular spots like The Barn and Ebisutei — is just around the corner. Ski storage and drying facilities are available on-site, and staff can assist with lift passes or activity bookings during staffed hours.
For those who prioritize space, design, and proximity to the slopes, Youtei Tracks delivers a seamless blend of comfort and independence in one of Niseko’s best spots.
Who should stay here
Ideal for couples, families, or groups seeking upscale self-contained accommodation in central Hirafu with easy slope access and stylish comfort.
Scout Customer Reviews
The apartment was perfect for us as a family group of 3 couples. Being located within easy walking distance to the main gondola and restaurants and bars was perfect.The kitchen was well equiped and having two bathrooms a must! The regular cleaning of the apartment was excellent. The apartment was well heated and our ski gear was always dry for the next day. We noted our mattresses were a little on the firm side but apart from that we feel we received excellent value staying here. Having our ski gear stored every night by Niseko Central Ski Valet beside the main gondola made our journey to and from the ski field so much more efficient. Jane, Scout Customer, 2020
