Asuka Value

I went to Niseko second time this year. Last year I stayed in Ruby chalete and this time I stayed in Asuka value.
When I searched the accommodation,I thought the location very important for ski lift.
Asuka is quite close to the lift,but we needed up hill a little. However the location is very nice. It takes about 7 minute to lift.
Moreover most restaurants and shops, mart are close.
The accommodation seems like just a picture.
But one room is quite small, so we couldn't open the luggage in the room.
Another one is quite spacious.
We were all 3 people, I think the flat prefer for 3 people.
It didn't have a washing machine and local telphone.

Great value apartment! Just enough space for everything you need in a self contained apartment. Comfy beds, decent living space and great extras, like Apple TV/sound system.

It was a very comfortable and affordable accommodation. A long slog up the hill with skis but there is a bus if you want to wait for it. The rooms are a good size, beds comfortable, enough stuff to cook your own meals and it was great having the heater plus TV with netflix.

Asuka Value 2

We had a great stay at this property
Holiday niseko exceeded our expectation. Nothing was a problem. Look forward to staying with them on our next trip to niseko.

Excellent cosy apartments very well located Comfy beds Well equipped kitchens Netflix provided free

We stayed in apartment No. 2 of the Asuka Value block, and it was excellently located only a 5 minute walk to the main road, with the nearest lift being the Ace Family Lift a further few minutes walk away (so getting up the mountain was quick and easy first thing in the morning or coming back at night). A bus stop was outside, maybe 15 metres up the road, so very easy to get to the main lift stations and other parts of the resort.

The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and well appointed with a bath/shower with seemingly limitless hot water, separate sink, separate toilet (with the essential heated seat), a fridge, and a two ring gas stove, microwave oven and electric kettle. There was no gas oven as part of the cooker. It had plenty of cooking utensils and plates, etc. in the cupboards.

The lounge had two sofas, a large wardrobe/coat rack (and security safe), small coffee table in the centre of the room, and a LCD TV in one corner (with AppleTV with a Netflix service included - handy when it was snowing too much to go out!)

Within the living room was the apartments only gas heater. The two bedrooms off of the living room were quite spacious, with small shelving for bags/clothes, two single beds with soft mattresses and large duvets.
There was no heating in the bedrooms themselves, or in the toilet or bath/shower room, although if you left the doors open the heat from the living room heater would warm them up. The duvets were super-warm though, so we never got cold while in bed, though the bedrooms got 'chilly' during the night - but soon warmed up when the bedroom doors were opened. (The bedrooms and toilet had air vents which, even when closed, were a little drafty (especially in the toilet)).
I guess we could've left the doors open all night to heat the bedrooms, but as we had five people in the apartment (two in each bedroom and a fifth person on a mattress on the living room floor) we closed the doors at night for privacy.

The drying room downstairs was very warm and dried wet clothes/boots/equipment quickly, with a laundry room with washing machines and tumble dryers off to one side.

On the resort itself, there are great bars and restaurants nearby, and a fairly inexpensive Seicomart supermarket on the main road by the main crossing. The Seicomart contains a ATM cash machine, but it only takes Japanese bank cards, or you can exchange foreign currency for Yen in another machine.
A little further along the road in the Niseko Supermarket & Deli there's an ATM that takes cards from other banks/countries.

If you stay in Niseko, and in the Asuka Value apartments I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time. I would stay here again, and recommend it to others.

The location was great. An easy walk to the main part of town and the shuttle bus stops a few metres from the front door. Close to bars and supermarket. Unit was small (they all are in Japan) but not tiny. It had everything you needed and was clean and comfortable.

GREAT PLACE WITHIN THE SHOPS AREA AND NEAR TO SHUTTLE SERVICES STOP.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Very prompt in replying to queries. Good information from James, busses were easily located in the airport, and transportation to the apartment was prompt in Niseko. The apartment was tight for a family of 4 but doable nonetheless! Good quality cooking utensils and the apartment was well supplied with essentials such as dish soap, shampoo, toilet paper, garbage bags ext. Bit of a walk to the family lift and the roads were slippery but being so close to the on onsen was spectacular. The apartment was a bit noisy when people were moving around in the apartment above us. When we left the pick up was late and this stressed us out. We did manage to get on our bus on time. Would like them to come earlier for departure pick up. Would use their services again for sure.
