SCOUT REVIEW
The Maples Niseko is one of Hirafu’s most sought-after ski-in ski-out properties, combining contemporary alpine style with the convenience of slope-side living. Sitting directly on the Ace Family Run, this modern condominium-style hotel allows guests to click into their skis and glide straight out to the lifts — an unbeatable advantage during Niseko’s famous powder days.
Inside, The Maples Niseko offers a mix of one- to three-bedroom apartments, all featuring sleek, minimalist interiors with large windows framing Mt. Yotei or the village. Each unit includes a well-equipped kitchen, spacious living area, and laundry facilities — perfect for longer stays or families wanting a bit more independence. Warm wooden finishes and cozy furnishings add a touch of luxury without pretension.
The ground floor houses a stylish restaurant and café, ideal for breakfast or après-ski bites, along with a full ski valet service that handles gear storage and daily assistance. Guests appreciate the attentive, English-speaking staff and the seamless check-in process. While The Maples doesn’t have a spa or pool, its focus on functional luxury and prime location more than compensate.
Being right in central Hirafu means guests can easily stroll to nearby bars, restaurants, and shops, making it just as convenient for nightlife as it is for skiing. For travelers seeking comfort, privacy, and effortless access to Niseko’s slopes, The Maples Niseko delivers an exceptional winter experience.
