Great location, service; cheap furnishings
Great location. Easy/fast access to lifts by shuttle bus. Building and facilities are new and in good condition. Staff are very helpful and attentive. Furnishings, unfortunately, are not quite up to the standard of the building: a bit cheap and spartan for the price. I expected better. The beds have a cushion on top of the mattress that slides around as you sleep. Not comfortable. Also, the “double beds” are, in fact, singles pushed together. This was also disappointing for the price. Overall, we did enjoy our stay and appreciated the service, but with so many accommodation options nearby, we would look for a place with a better standard of furnishings and bedding.

Staff was very friendly and they are very helpful. Also their response were very quick and we appreciate their service a lot (pick up / drop off service were arranged on spot and it was comfortable) Ski drying room were a little difficult to find.... so maybe their sign can improve a little.

As Good As It Gets!
This was my second visit to Akazora. On my own this time, 12 nights. I had a street front studio that met all my needs, comfortable bed, functional kitchenette, wall mounted flat screen TV that swivelled to all parts of the room, cable has an adequate range of English language channels. Akazora has particularly nice bathrooms and a small laundry off that room in its own alcove. I ate in a lot and the kitchenette worked out well. Akazora is extremely convenient to the town of Hirafura with it's restaurants and bars, there's a shuttle stop right at the door and shuttles run about every 20 minutes to either Hirafura or Hanazono mountain base. There's also an undercover carpark if you have a car and the ski lockup is next door to the carpark. The staff are all lovely people, Nikki on reception was really friendly and helpful and gave a lift to the bus station on the last day. I really enjoyed my stay. The photo is Mt Yotei (no ski) taken from Mt Annupuri (ski).

Stay at Akazora
A bit far from ski resort but could get aid for free riding when schedule met, though it said no riding service available when I asked by email before trip. All staff were amazingly nice and friendly. One thing to be desired was there’s no bath tub.

Akazora aparment is excellent in every way. Location is walking distance to every highlight spots (AYA ski lift, Seico Mart, several restaurants in the same areas). Room is large and very clean, well equipped with kitchen and utilities. We are lucky to have the room with bathtub. Our room is at ground floor and we can see Mountain Yotei from our window, eventhough it was city view. Overall, our family (two adults and one little kid) is happy very much with ski trip and staying at Akazora.

連泊時、ゴミだけは回収してほしいです
3泊しました。キッチンがあって　コロナ禍で安心して食事できました。ただ滞在中　清掃が無いのは理解できますが　ゴミの回収をしてもらえないのは困りました。3泊ともなると　生ゴミが増えるので臭いが気になります。かと言って　ベランダに出すとカラスが来るので　室内に置くしかなく。 それ以外は　とても快適で　また宿泊したいと思います。

地図で見るよりもコンビニや飲食店、ウィンターグッズ販売店までが近くて便利でした。 疲れた体を浴槽で癒したかったので浴槽がなかったのは残念でしたが、壁面に座れる作りになっていました。 洗濯機や洗剤、たくさん干せる物干しなどがとても助かりました。着替えが最小限でも次の日には乾いているので荷物が少なくてすみます！おすすめです！！
