Nice place. Very nice living room (with fireplace), and kitchen area.
Enough space for 1 or 2 parking (3 with the correct orientation). We stayed in Forest Estate 2, which is directly at the bottom of the hill.
The masters bedroom doesnt have a tub (only the common bathroom has one), which is a must after a day at the slopes. The bedrooms located on the bottom floor was much colder, and the heaters seemed not to function (they were though, just very weak).

We stayed in Forest Estate 2 in December. We were a group of 5 including 3 teenagers. Beds were very comfortable and great to have warm bathrooms during Winter. Lovely comfy bedding and pillows. Great ammenities eg. microwave/steam oven, great little washing machine and plenty of fridge space. Locker room for ski storage was really good with bench to sit and put on boots. Huge sofa to allow for all of us to sit and relax and large dining area for eating. Some additional TV channels with English language including Movie Channel with mostly English language movies although some blockbusters dubbed in Japanese and no way to change, but we found something to watch most nights. Also BBC news channel which was good. Large main bathroom including bath, good size ensuite and separate toilet near entrance was really great for the 5 of us. Short walk up the hill to 7-Eleven and other stores close by. Managers of property not far if there were issues. As we arrived 2nd week of the season, the local shuttle down past the place was not running yet, so property managers were happy to give us a ride up the hill to the main ski lift until the shuttle kicked in which was very kind and helpful. Also can recommend Rhythm Ski hire as they were happy to come and collect all of the gear the day we were checking out. Lift passes included with accomodation were a good deal. Accomodation also close to local restaurants – Bar Moon (highly recommended for Ramen) just 1 min walk and Bar Gyu (Fridge Bar) which opened whilst we were there (5 min walk). Fantastic week, acomodation amazing.
