Hirafu Lodging Advice (walkable, shuttles, etc)
We're coming to Niseko in late January, and I'm trying to figure out lodging options. We *think* we want to stay in Hirafu due to skiing convenience + restaurants, etc. We're leaning towards AirBnBs as there are 2 couples and we like the idea of a single place to share.
However, I am a complete noob to the area and had a few questions.
- Is it worth anchoring on central Hirafu? We'll ski every day & do enjoy eating out / some nightlife afterwards.
- Are there public transportation options? We'd really like to avoid renting a car and prefer to walk (or slog through the snow) or take shuttles / taxis. Is this a realistic option?
- Take the attached map example - this is an airbnb. Is that really walkable (sidewalks?)? Are there shuttles? Would I be crazy to consider this without a vehicle?
Thank you so much in advance. And ANY other advice / tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
