Just like to add, have had 3 stays here during the ski season for total 24 nights over last 4 years. If anyone has any questions I would be more than happy to try to help. Was HH nothing for first 2 stays, Gold for my last and will be diamond this coming trip (Jan 2013).
It is a great property and excellent for the on-mountain activities. If you do not eat in the hotel it is slightly harder to get to restaurants than at accommodation in Hirafu, but it is not difficult.
