SCOUT REVIEW
If you are after a great value, modern and spacious apartment in Hirafu, then Kisetsukan could be just right.
The property is made up of mainly two and three bedroom apartments – each furnished in a comfortable, modern style. Scout particularly loves the nods towards an alpine aesthetic, thanks to the use of wood in some of the finishes. This, combined with its peaceful setting in the lower part of lower Hirafu helps to give the place a natural feel.
In fact, Kisetsukan translates as “a sense of the season” – and it’s certainly easy to get a sense of what’s going on outside through the large windows in the living areas. These windows and the balconies combine to give you a sense of space and an appreciation for the natural world.
The Kisetsukan apartments have all the mod cons you’ll ever need for an extended stay – including full kitchens, laundries, TVs, stereos and complimentary Wi-Fi. The two bedroom (with one bathroom) apartments on the ground floor are ideal for families. Meanwhile, the spacious two bedroom (with two bathroom) apartments are split over two floors with a bedroom on each. They’re ideal for two couples or a group of friends who don’t want to be right on top of each other. The three bedroom apartments are generously sized and all split over two levels, with a self-contained guest room as one of the rooms.
Who should stay here
Kisetsukan is ideal for families or groups of friends who want space and modern luxuries and don't need the prime Upper Hirafu location.
Location
Kisetsukan is located in the lower section of Lower Hirafu and is right on the ski shuttle route. It is within walking distance of the Lower Hirafu restaurants and bars and a further walk up the hill to upper Hirafu.
