The newest, ski-in ski-out hotel to open in Niseko Hirafu, AYA Niseko, is only days away from opening its doors for the very first time this winter season on December 15th, 2016.
The highly-anticipated condominium-hotel boasts 79 luxury apartments and penthouses, offering visitors to Niseko the services and facilities they would come to expect from a high-end hotel.
The seven-story building that makes up AYA Niseko and all of its great facilities, is positioned in a prime location right in front of the Family Pair Lift, and is close to many restaurants, bars and stores in Hirafu.
On the first floor, you can find Ikeguchi shop hosting a range of great winter wear selections. Aya Gym, Aya Onsen and Aya Spa are also located on the first floor along with new Japanese restaurant Utsuwa. The super convenient ski valet and GoSnow Kids Center can be found on the back of building, facing the lift.

Next up, on the second floor, is the Aya Gallery. There are six artists who have contributed their art works to the gallery, with their works currently on exhibit now. Spacious in design and dedicated solely to exhibitions, the gallery will be constantly changing with new artworks over time. The gallery’s focus is on showing artists who are related to Hokkaido. Most of the work is up for sale, too, and if you are lucky, you might even get the chance to meet the artists behind the masterpieces.
