Akazora's convenient location places guests within walking distance of the lifts, with the Ace Family Chair only a 7-minute walk away, and less than a minutes walk from the main road where numerous restaurants, bars, and shops are located. Akazora offers various accommodation options including studio apartments on the ground floor great for couples, standard and premium 1-bedroom apartments, and spacious 2-bedroom premium apartments that can sleep up to guests located on the first, second, and third floors.

  • Prime Central Location: Situated in the heart of Hirafu Village with restaurants, bars, and convenience stores just steps away, and ski lifts accessible within a 7-minute walk
  • Modern Apartments -  26 boutique apartments ranging from studios to 2-bedroom units, all featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies, full kitchens, and laundry facilities
  • Convenient Amenities: Undercover parking*, front desk concierge service during winter, ski shuttle access
  • Japanese-Western Design: Artfully blends Japanese culture and sophistication with Western modernity, featuring designer furniture, modern amenities, and Japanese-inspired architectural elements

Completed in 2013, the apartments have become very popular with both international tourists and domestic visitors. The name "Akazora" means "red sky" in Japanese, and the building's design was inspired by red Japanese "torii" shrine gates, with the red theme carrying through to complement the autumn colors when the street's momiji trees leaves begin to change. The complex features 26 boutique apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the village and snowy landscape beyond.

*Parking maybe limited and is on a first come first serve basis.

Great central location and well equipped apartment - Victoria, Australia

The apartment was very modern and clean, and well equipped with kitchen items, toiletries, a washing machine and all other amenities. The bedrooms were a little small but we did not spend much time in them anyway. By far the biggest positive was the location - only a few minutes walk to the ski lifts and the centre of town with multiple restuarants, bars, supermarkets etc closeby. Would highly recommend!

Central location - Pernille, Australia

Akazora was modern and roomy. Great kitchen facilities. Walking distance to slopes, central to shops and restaurants. Only issue was rowdy patrons coming out of pubs at 2am most days.

Fantastic apartment, fabulous location! - Anna, Australia

Akazora was better than we expected. The apartment (on level 3) had lovely views and it was roomy enough for a family of 4 adults. Our sons would have preferred kind single sized beds - I think this is our only criticism :-) There is a good washing machine within the apartment and a nice big hanging rail - very useful!!
The location is excellent - the regular shuttle bus to/from the gondola at Hirafu is right outside the complex. Bars/bistros are very close walking distance. The Seicomart is also just a couple of minutes walk from Akazora. A public onsen is also close by.
The reception staff were friendly and helpful. If we return to Niseko (I hope we do) we will stay at Akazora again.

**BEST** little gem on the mountain - Delecia, Australia

The AKOZORA has been my husbands and my "GO TO" place for the past 4 years and we are already looking into booking again for 2018 for very good reason. It is, without a doubt the best all round little gem on the mountain for so many great reasons. First and foremost, Mariko and her staff are always ready to greet you with a warm welcoming smile and have been so very accommodating each time we stay. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them and at times have gone out of their way to help out with one thing or another to help make our stay that much more special, even going out of their way to drive us to/from Kutchan Hospital late at night when my niece took ill earlier this year, we were all so very grateful for the young girls kindness to go above and beyond her duties to help out.
We have stayed in one of the Studio apartments once, a one brm twice, a 2 brm once and it will be a one brm again this coming trip. Each time the apartments were exceptionally clean, well equipped and functionable.
There is a shuttle bus stop right outside to take you to the lifts etc or alternatively it's just a short walk to the lifts, restaurants to which there are several of in the same street as the AKOZURA, ski shops and Seikomart and even Lawsons is not too far to walk to.
Did I mention that this accommodation is very kind to the wallet
I am always so happy to arrive at the AKOZORA and equally sad when it's time to leave.
Thanks for ensuring us a wonderful stay each time and looking forward to seeing you all again in 2018.
