Location:
This is Mountainside Palace’s biggest advantage. You can’t get any more central in Hirafu. Located just off highway 343 and one block away from the main Hirafu intersection, everything is at your fingertips. A short walk will reward you with the best selection of Hirafu’s famous restaurants, shops, bars, and more. Moreover, just a short walk can take you to any of Grand Hirafu Resort’s base ski lifts. Getting around Niseko in general can be difficult without a car. Living outside of the village requires riding a bus (if there is one near your accommodation), or even a taxi if you stay out after the buses finish running. Living in the center of the action gives you access to everything you need, and will save you time and money by avoiding transportation costs. This prime Hirafu location is amazing for any type of Niseko visitor, whether you came for the legendary powder or the incredible food culture.
Unit Types:
Mountainside Palace features 3 types of 2-bedroom apartments depending on what suits guests’ needs. Cozy and clean styling make these apartments instantly feel like home. The Premium 2 Bedroom Apartment offers views of the ski slopes on its balcony, as well as a jet bath in the main bathroom to let you relax after a big day of skiing. The Deluxe 2 Bedroom boasts views of the majestic Mt. Yotei. The perfect accommodation for families would be the Premium 2 Bedroom Apartment with Family Room. The second apartment is fitted with bunk beds to allow more space for the kids.

Advantages:
Mountainside Palace is the ultimate value for a Niseko vacation in the heart of Hirafu. Compared to other apartments in a similar location, you will not find a better price. Furthermore, the central location will save you money by avoiding renting a car or taking a taxi. Mountainside Palace is built for families or groups of friends, as it will save you money with the logistics of traveling in groups.

Who should stay here?
Families and groups of friends who are looking for the best Niseko experience without spending the most money. Also, for die-hard powderhounds MSP is perfect.

The Takeaway
Mountainside Palace is the best value you can find in Niseko. Families and groups of friends can indulge in everything that Niseko and Hirafu are famous for without emptying their wallet.
