This time, we're staying at AYA Niseko (綾), one of the finest service apartment hotels in Kutchan, which is really famous for its luxury ski resorts.
Like Seshu (雪舟酒店) which we had the pleasure of staying at last week, AYA Niseki also boasts a jaw-dropping view of Mount Yotei (羊蹄山).
AYA Niseko offers a lot of flexibility as they have studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments scattered around different floors. Since we have a relatively big group, we decided to go with their biggest accommodation which is their three-bedroom apartment.
In the centre of the apartment is a very spacious living room and open kitchen.
I really like this design where they take full advantage of the long and narrow marble counter.
They have the oven, dishwasher, cutlery, pots and pans all hidden underneath the counter. Smart and they made it look good too!
On the other side hidden behind the wall, they have all these bowls, plates and glasses placed inside a few cupboards. These are capable of serving up to 8 to 10 people.
All three bedrooms are well appointed. The master bedroom is right behind the living room with the same breathtaking view of Mount Yotei. The ceiling-to-floor windows help to make sure that we'll be able to admire the view from every angle.
The master bedroom of course has its own bathroom and shower.
The other two bedrooms are pretty inviting and well-lit as well.
I stayed at this one at the backend of the apartment because I'm super noise sensitive.
I would love to have a third bathroom so we didn't have to share one but this guest bathroom wasn't bad.
Washer and dryer. They have everything we need from a holiday home and more.
Now that I've unpacked all the stuff, time to relax and catch a baseball game (while everyone was still unpacking or taking a shower).
AYA Niseko really defines luxury in every sense of the word. From natural onsen hot springs, private family onsen to concierge, kids club and ski valet service, they've got it all.
On the lobby level is their restaurant Ginger serving breakfast and all-day menu.
We had a wonderful stay here and some of us were already saying that we should come back for another stay next summer. That's how crazy we were about this place.
