Independent Biya hotels

"About 1 block to the lift in Annupori! Amazing family run place! More laid back and quiet than the larger resorts. Shared bathrooms and showeres. On site coin laundry. Great value! "

"Anupuri was 2 min drive or shuttle. Def the best slope for the family and the big boys. Staff was great super helpful. They emailed us regularly asking what we needed and what tours to book. Noa. Was super friendly and also Reese. Big bath tube. To soak in after the slopes. In house breakfast. Had good selection of cereals and hot eggs bacon toast and fruit... very quite and the views are amazing thanks agian def be going back"

"The staff are simply amazing "

"Good all round. "

"Very spacious, the staff are beyond wonderful. Onsen at the end of the day is just a fantastic treat. Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful view from the dining room"

"Staff is amazing. Food was fantastic and fresh. Everywhere was clean. I added a 90 min massage and would do again. Onsen was beautiful and peaceful. I will be booking here again. "

"The hotel is dated; however, the outdoor onsen is a great experience. Mr. Y. Onimaru at the Front Desk was very friendly and provided excellence customer services during our stay. The breakfast is a combination of Japanese and western style. It is very yummy. Our original booking was a traditional Japanese room but found out there is no shower/bathing area inside the room which was unexpected. Ms. Sato at the Front Desk helped and moved us to a Japanese/Western room the next day so we had our own shower area and were able to experience sleeping on the tatami. The hotel provides shuttle services to 3 different ski resorts; however, the schedule to and back from Hirafu is very limited (even during peak season). They should consider providing shuttle services the same schedule as going to Annipuli during peak season. Need to take a taxi from Niseko Village back after dinner. It costs USD $40-50 each time. May stay again because of the onsen and breakfast."

"Nice modern rooms - great location - self check-in worked great. I had ski stuff shipped and staff was responsive by email to help with coordination. "
