I know it's cliche, but 5 stars is not enough! Kimamaya came highly recommended to me by a friend who stayed there in January 2023. Naturally I wanted to check out the reviews, and they reinforced everything my friend had said and more. There is a good reason for that - Peter and Haruka go above and beyond to provide the most OUTSTANDING service and hospitality ever experienced.

If you think it, they organise it. Even if you don't think it, Peter and Haruka will be on hand to recommend and assist wherever possible. The communication via the What's App group was great, not only for the getting dropped off or picked up from the ski resorts, but also for dinner recommendations and reservations that Peter or Haruka would do during the day while we were on the snow.

The breakfasts were super tasty with a good variety and would keep us full and going until dinner. On the day we were leaving Peter and Haruka organised croissants, coffees and salmon, cream cheese and avocado bagels for the early morning bus trip to the airport.

The onsite onsens were a treat and the lounge area welcoming and comfortable to relax in with a tasty beer post a day snowboarding!

Special shout out to Osaka San who was always available to drop us off and pick us up from the ski resorts.

Cannot express just how great everything was, and can't recommend Kimamaya enough! Everybody deserves a bit of Kimamaya hospitality and experience in their life!! Thanks again to the team at Kimamaya and can't wait to come back.

My partner and I stayed at the Kimamaya for 5 nights and could not recommend this hotel enough. We were welcomed by the hotel manager Peter who made us feel welcome from the second we walked into the hotel. The hotel is a true home away from home, where you walk around in slippers and feel relaxed on your stay. The staff go above and beyond to make sure that you have everything you need from a phone to use on the stay to booking restaurants to ensure you have the full Niseko experience. The hotel is clean, cozy and everything you would wish for for a winter getaway. My partner and I became engaged on the trip and Peter made it a truely special afternoon.

We will definitely be staying at the Kimamaya again and already look forward to returning at the end of the year.

We are a family of 4 and staid 7 days at this beautiful place. Everything was more than perfect. The rooms were fantastic, comfortable and modern. Service was state of the art with a constant attention to details. Last but not least, Barns Restaurant was a very enjoyable way to start the day with at breakfast, and to enjoy diners with good food. Special thank you to Nicolas, Peter and team.
We will come back. For sure!!!
