    “Great and Spacious”

    Our favorite stay in Japan! It was ideal since it’s centrally located. Near food trucks, convenience stores and restaurants. There’s a free bus that took us near the place and upon leaving, they serviced a van for us - free of charge - to get to the bus station. We loved how spacious and complete the apartment was,even had lockers for ski equipment. Nicely decorated and clean. Staff were all foreign so they spoke good English and even gave us tips on what to do, where to ski, etc. we will book the freshwater again! Thank you 😊

    “LOY JOYOUS STAY”

    We were greeted with so much warmth by the staff at Hirafu Welcome Centre. We were offered a comfortable ride to The Freshwater. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. We had a double WOW moment when we checked into a lovely spacious and clean apartment. I will definitely recommend The Freshwater to my relatives and friends.

    “Awesome Stay!”

    Our family had a wonderful time here. They have everything that a family needed. Extremely clean and cozy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It is suitable for a family stay as there was a lot of space for children to play, and it is also of great value. My children were pleased at how big and comfortable the apartment was. Overall, would highly recommend for a family with children.
