Comfort and convenience in a superb location.

At The Freshwater, it's all about the freedom to enjoy Niseko your way. Renovated in 2024, the aparthotel is a 3-minute drive to the ski lift, and just a minute's walk to the winter shuttle stop. Restaurants, bars and convenience stores are just a short stroll away. After a day on the slopes, return to the ease of on-site ski lockers, parking, and a helpful winter concierge.

Each spacious apartment is designed to feel like home. All accommodations feature contemporary furnishings and a kitchen area; families will appreciate the option of interconnecting rooms. Some units come with private terraces, perfect for a quiet coffee break. With the Niseko Adventure Centre just a short 4-minute walk away, guests of all ages will find plenty to explore all year round.
