Superb forest refuge, Niseko, Japan

An incredibly beautiful, uncrowded, and peaceful spot, away from the Hirafu hysteria. It's a 3 minute drive to Annupuri and a 5 minute drive to the Hilton Niseko. Hirafu is 10 - 15 minutes depending on the weather. What makes it special It's close to everything, but separate. So you get beautiful, still peace. The panoramic view is sublime. The light is gorgeous. The finish is good quality. Furnishings are functional and good looking. And it's always warm when it needs to be. All these things combine to make Forest Hideaway unique. Accommodation and amenities Forest Hideaway sleeps 6 in stylish, fully equipped comfort. There are two bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom (shower, toilet, washbasin). Bedroom 1 has a double bed. Bedroom 2 has two singles. These beds have traditional Japanese futon mattresses. And there are 2 futon mattresses in the 2nd floor living area which can be unrolled at night and rolled up in the morning. It has a kitchen, lounge, and dining area upstairs looking out over the birch forest through wide panoramic windows. About the area Soga is an off-the-main-drag birch forest between Annupuri and Niseko Village. There are other houses around, but crowding is not an issue like it is in Hirafu. Yet it's close enough not to matter. Getting around The Niseko area has some public transport, but it is not frequent and does not stop everywhere you might wish to travel.
