Yama Shizen

Yama Shizen

Yama Shizen offers contemporary and deluxe Niseko accommodation in studios, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom apartments. Yama Shizen has two apartment/condo buildings (East & West buildings) that offer accommodation that’s not only comfortable and with all the amenities you need. These Niseko apartments also provide space, style and sophistication with tasteful designer interiors and contemporary architecture.

Where is Yama Shizen?

Yamashizen is very well located in the main nucleus of Niseko Japan, in the well sought after area of Upper Hirafu, only a 4 minute walk from the Hirafu Gondola (or it’s a 400 metre walk to the base of the Family Run). On-snow ski valet services are included as part of your stay.

There are a couple of restaurants and bars within 50 metres of the property, whilst the main hub of the dining and drinking establishments is only 150 metres away.

For intermediate riders and above, the accommodation is unofficially ski-in via an easy off-piste trail.

On arrival and departure, Yama Shizen provides a transport service between the Hirafu Welcome Center (where the Sapporo to Niseko bus arrives) and the apartments.

Accommodation Options

The Yama Shizen apartments comprise of studios, 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments for up to 8 guests.

Studio Apartments: ideal for couples or close friends as the king bed can be split into single beds (max 2 guests). The studios have a small separate living space, kitchenette with bar fridge, microwave, and toaster for preparing light meals.

1 Bedroom Apartments: ideal for couples who want a fully self-contained apartment or a little extra space or small families and groups. Bedding configuration is 1 x king bed (can be split into singles) in bedroom plus a single sofa bed in the living area accommodating up to 3 guests. They have a full kitchen with dishwasher and private balcony.

Many of the apartments offer great views up to the ski resort or across to Mt Yotei on those rare fine days when this big mountain is in its full glory.

Property Features

The ground floor areas has secure ski/snowboard storage and a fully equipped ski tuning area.

Yama Shizen offers a concierge service and can help with babysitting, restaurant information, tour bookings, and general information.

Weekly linen change (on the 8th day of your stay); daily fresh towel change and rubbish removal.

Complimentary tea, coffee, milk, sugar, washing powder and body soap on arrival. Replenishment of these items is the responsibility of the occupants during the stay.

Dining

Yama Shizen has a small coffee shop for morning take-away beverages and snacks. And at least one night you should try the on-site restaurant, Yama Dining. The food is upscale with an interesting fusion between western and Japanese food, and the wine menu is extensive and reasonably priced.

Otherwise if you’re not self-catering in your studio or apartment, it’s an easy stroll to a range of Niseko restaurants

Superb in every way

05/02/2015
As we walked into the apartment the wow factor hit us. It felt palatial with the combination of space and the upscale fitout. The shower was luxurious, the beautiful bedding was luxurious, and some of the unique yet well thought storage and drying features screamed luxury too.

Other pros included the spacious dining and living area, the great cooking facilities, and the tranquil views through the big picture windows.

Yama Dining was a beautiful experience. The restaurant has a delightful cosy ambience with nice décor and even a bonsai thrown in for good measure. The food was very delicate and unique, and Top Dog enjoyed having a quality steak (it had been a while). It’s also difficult to find great wine in Japan so we lapped it up at Yama Dining!

The only con was the very inconsistent internet in our apartment but it was OK in other parts of the building.

We can highly recommend a stay at Yama Shizen and the flexibility of the bedding configurations and the apartments means that there’s something to suit all groups.
