niels 0 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Where to stay cheaply... other than Waza's? Lift pass - the Niseko allmountain season pass or a 4 week Hirafu pass??? Some say that the allmountain pass is a waste of money... what's your experience?? My onpiste ability is good. I suck offpiste... (I'm a skier). Cheers, Niels. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Yes Shizenkan is good.... And if at the same time you want to help out the nice people who give us this site http://www.snowjapan.com/e/hotel/viewhotel.php?hotid=54 give them a mention when you contact the place. I'm sure they'd appreciate that. Link to post Share on other sites

boardbaka 3 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Sorry Neils i may be mssing something but would you not reccommend wazas.I@ve heard only good things about it and was thinking of staying there some time later in the season. any thoughts would be much apreciated best regards boardbaka Link to post Share on other sites
TimRide30x 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Another vote for Shinzenkan here. Stayed there last Feb and have booked again for this Feb - the owner & staff are extremely helpful. As for the lift pass - I don't think you could spend your whole 4 weeks at just Hirafu - you'd get bored. You should at least visit the other resorts at Niseko. Link to post Share on other sites
niels 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Boardbaka - I didn't express myself clearly, sorry. I've never been to Waza's myself. Was just interested in having som alternatives. I've written them an email, but still no response (about a week ago)... TimRide30x - just contacted Shizenkan... - they're already fully booked for all of Feb. (lucky you!) So, unfortunately we'll have to meet on the mountain, not at the lodge... :-( Any other suggestions for lodging cheaply during Feb in the Niseko area highly appreciated!!!

niels 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Actually, if you are a badass skiier, nonsmoker, heavy drinker (ok, let's call it "a happy consumer of alcohol"), and would like to share a cheap room with me during the month Feb. in the Niseko area, let me know... Reason: I have this feeling that cheap accomodation is already fully booked... I (male, 34 yrs) come from Denmark, intermediate skiier... Still, weblinks to accomodation highly appreciated! Cheers and thanks for helping out, Niels. Link to post Share on other sites
niels 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 OK... found a room at www.nisekoholiday.com (the only room left!). It looks really nice. Price is 4.375yen a day breakfast included. If interested in sharing the room, let me know asap. Thanks. ....ok, I'm done now.... :-) Niels Link to post Share on other sites
