If you are looking for snow accomodation with 1st class well planned facilities and genuine, professional guest managers then Kimamaya is for you! Our family of 4, including 2 children (8 & 11) stayed for 9 nights recently and enjoyed every minute. Snow holidays can sometimes be a little difficult to organise but at Kimamaya it was effortless - they... More

Our stay at Kimamaya was exceptional. A well designed boutique hotel combining modern Japanese design and traditional touches. Food was of high quality - both the simple but delicious breakfast but even more memorable was dinner at the Barn. No exaggeration to say one of the best Western meals we've had in the last few months. Rounding this off was... More

Our family just spent a fantastic week at the Kimamaya and already on the way back to the airport we were planning our return trip next year! The wonderful experience started even before the actual vacation with the way all our queries and requests were handled and continued seamlessly throughout our entire stay. The hotel itself is beautifully and thoughtfully... More

What a combination. Fantastic facilities, great location and most importantly professional and friendly staff. Having stayed at many fine hotels I was not expecting Kimayana to surpass them on so many levels. From the time we arrived until our reluctant departure, Peter, Katelyn and Taka made us feel completely at home. It is quite apparent that the same attention to... More

Our biggest thanks Peter, Katelynne & Taka! We had the most wonderful honeymoon staying with you for 16 days. We couldn't have asked for a nicer experience. Kimamaya is a gorgeous place with every need accounted for from a design & location perspective & your warm hospitality completed the picture. From the moment we arrived you told us to feel... More

The accompanying restaurant, the barn, is a beautifully old restored barn where you have your breakfast every morning. Every detail... More

Thank you very much Kimimaya. You made every possible aspect of our skiing experience in Niseko amazing. Peter, Caitlin and Taka were always going out of their way to be helpful and make our trip as excellent as it could be. They organised all the components of the trip that are difficult for non-Japanese speakers. They booked restaurants for every... More

We visited Niseko at the peak of snow season and were able to get reservations at the exceptional Kimamaya boutique hotel right in the center of Hirafu village. Upon arrival, we were enchanted with the preserved exterior of the hotel, reminiscent of a Japanese ryokan then surprised by the contrasting interior, designed with a modern Japanese aesthetic. We were enthusiastically... More

My husband and I stayed at Kimamaya for 6 days in Feb in the Loft room and we cannot recommend this place enough. The rooms are beautifully decorated and Peter and Katelynne were wonderful hosts. Every day we would wake up to a beautifully cooked breakfast ordered to our liking and when we came home from a long day on... More
