The Orchards Niseko — Hotel in Kutchan

Tucked away just a short distance from the lively Hirafu junction in Niseko, Shimai, The Orchards, stands as a serene retreat that feels deeply like a home away from home. This special place, balancing proximity to adventure with the bliss of solitude, hosted me, my wife, her sister (this trip was in part, her birthday celebrations), their cousin, and partner. Shimai’s allure was so magnetic, it inspired a poetic appreciation for its beauty.||The thoughtful interior design of Shimai immediately caught our collective eye. A power socket discreetly placed under the dining table might seem a minor detail, but it became the hero of a memorable hotpot dinner, demonstrating the thoughtful consideration woven into every aspect of the house. These moments of discovery were a recurring joy.||The heated floors felt like a warm embrace after a day spent in the chill of Niseko, transforming our return to Shimai into a welcome respite from the cold. The kitchen, with its seemingly endless array of high-quality and perhaps unnecessary appliances; was a home cook’s dream. And the plates, so elegantly designed, seemed they could as easily adorn a wall as serve a meal.||By the end of our stay, the enchantment of Shimai had woven its way so deeply into my heart that I half-seriously inquired about purchasing it. Such was the depth of our connection to this place. It wasn’t just the physical comfort but the thoughtful touches and the sense of belonging that made Shimai so unforgettable.||Shimai wasn’t just a backdrop to our holiday; it was a participant, cradling us in comfort and beauty, making every moment feel significant. This place didn’t just host us; it embraced us, making it hard to say goodbye.||Shimai, The Orchards Niseko, was more than an accommodation—it was a haven that promised and delivered a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and beauty, making every detail of our stay something to cherish. So, forgive my poetic musings; such is the effect of a place that...

If I had to choose a word to describe this place—and only one—I'd called it enchanting. But don't worry, I'm going to write a little bit more. ||Stepping into Shimai is like going into a magical garden. Yes, it's beautiful. It's designed well. The place is full of great art! But yet, there is something special about stepping into Shimai. It's more than an experience. It's an emotion. ||Shimai means "sisters" in Japanese. And this place is steeped with love. Go there to make memories, propose, tell stories or even make babies. The magic will follow you. ||There's an warmth that permeates the chalet, making it easy to settle in and relax. The design is a perfect balance between comfort and creativity, ensuring that every space, whether it's a reading nook or a communal area for games and entertainment, feels inviting and enjoyable.||Speaking of entertainment, Shimai Chalet has plenty to offer. Whether you're in for some friendly competition on the pool table, a nostalgic trip down memory lane with the Pacman machine, or a movie night with the high-quality TV and Bose soundbar, it's all there. The thoughtful selection of books, toys, games, and drawing materials adds a playful touch, encouraging guests to unwind, have fun, and let their creativity flow.||Go lah. You'll leave with memories and stories. For life. ||Danesh &...

Some villas has 3 rooms but 1 of them have private toilet. 2 needs to help.

But I'm supporting what I saw in my eyes the rude Japanese lady incident today.

I deeply regret to inform you that our stay at Orchard was marred by an unpleasant encounter during the check-out process. The Japanese lady handling our checkout, while seemingly kind, displayed an unprofessional attitude. A package was placed on the floorboards, and my wife unintentionally stepped on it. Instead of addressing the situation with courtesy, the staff member reacted rudely, expressing dissatisfaction and questioning the cleanliness charge.

This incident left a sour impression on us and other guests present. I kindly requested a more respectful approach, but unfortunately, her response was dismissive and threatening to discard items left behind. Such behavior is unacceptable, particularly considering we were guests on a vacation, not servants. A simple request to wear shoes before standing on the floorboards could have avoided any discomfort.

I urge the management to address this issue promptly, as it significantly detracted from what should have been a pleasant experience. If necessary improvements are not made, it regrettably compels me to share this experience on public platforms such as Google Reviews to inform others of our...
