SCOUT REVIEW
Powder Tracks Niseko is a well-loved apartment complex in the heart of Hirafu Village, combining modern comfort with unbeatable convenience for skiers and snowboarders. It’s just a short stroll from the Ace Family Lift, making it ideal for anyone who wants to spend more time on the slopes and less time commuting.
The property features sleek, contemporary design with clean lines, warm tones, and quality furnishings—creating a welcoming alpine retreat after a big day in the snow. Each apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, and spacious living and dining areas, ideal for families or small groups who prefer the flexibility of self-catering.
Skiers will appreciate the heated gear storage and drying room, ensuring boots and jackets are warm and ready for another powder day. While Powder Tracks doesn’t have a front desk or restaurant, the convenience of being just minutes from Niseko’s best eateries, bars, and onsens makes up for it.
Guests love the easy access to the village shuttle, which connects to other ski areas in the Niseko United domain. The combination of location, quality, and value makes Powder Tracks a consistent favorite for returning guests who want all the essentials without unnecessary frills.
