Amazing place to stay, location is second to none for ski in ski out access with really impressive ski facilities. Staff were pleasant and very helpful. Restaurants provided amazing dinning experiences including the morning buffet breakfast. Would highly recommend the private infinity Onsen provided on level 7 (at extra cost), of an evening the view of Mt Yotie was beautiful.

Our stay at MUWA was 10/10. Stunning hotel with a beautiful spacious room overlooking the slopes. Right next to the snowboarding base which was perfect for us. It’s a bit of walk down to the restaurants and food trucks and an uphill walk back to the hotel but not an issue, kept us fit :D

We did not like the limited choice of eating places. There were 2 formal restaurants - no cafe or casual dining, all extremely expensive. In the Italian restaurant, the sides came at the same time as the appetisers, instead of with the Mains!!! There was no room service option. Luckily there was a small shop with frozen food which could be eaten in the room. Terrible kitchen design in room, need tk stand on a stool to get the crockery 😵‍💫

This is a fantastic hotel. Its architecture is Incredibly elegant and functional, has the best restaurants in Niseko by a margin particularly the Japanese restaurant. The staff is very kind and amiable. The rooms are very well designed and cozy with excellent sound insulation. It is a ski-in ski-out hotel in the best location in the HIRAFU section of the mountain, with great ski room and equipment rental available. Undoubtedly one of the top ski hotels of the world. It became the favorite for me and my family. Excellent experience overall!!
