Menu was an attempt to be interesting, but for the price, average. More

This restaurant is supposedly Michelin star standard. It's quite a nice place, small (so you need to make bookings). The prices are reasonable - 3 course meal for US$80 or so. For starters, I had some terrine (with pork, chicken and something else I forget). Not fantastic, but not bad either. The bread they serve, I thought was very nice... More

This restaurant is in my top 3 of Hirafu/Niseko. We had a really good dinner there. The restaurant is very beautiful, nice decoration. They have good food and excellent service. I can recommend it to anyone going to Hirafu. More

This is a fabulous little restaurant, great design, great food, great service. We had a really lovely evening topped off by the fact that they had picked up on the fact that it was my birthday and made a special effort with sparklers and candle on my dessert plate, how sweet! More

The Barn simply has that great combination of relaxed atmosphere, great friendly and at the same time attentive service, fabulous, but not fussy food and a small, well selected wine list. We could go back again and again and again just for the ox-cheek! It melts in your mouth! More

We went for my birthday and were rewarded with an amazing meal, and exceptional staff. Thank you all for making the evening such a special memory. Your chef is amazing and the warm, welcoming atmosphere with the big windows overlooking the snow covered street was something we will remember for a long time to come. See you next year, it... More

Excellent cocktail menu, try the Cougar and the Coconut Grove. Great Venue for per dinner drinks. Barman knows his stuff. A very cool looking glass for the Cosmo. Good value compared to some of the other cocktail bars in Hirafu. More

For those coming into town, you haven't experienced "The Best" of Niseko until you've experienced The Barn. After a convenient walk to the center of town The Barn is a can't miss building with an interior/exterior design unmatched in both the lower and upper Hirafu Village. After a few photos and unable to take the Niseko cold much longer we... More

At the end of a fabulous week's break in Niseko- great snow, good accommodation, delicious Japanese cuisine and hospitality, we decided to treat ourselves for our last night in Hirafu. The Barn proved to be truly fitting for that treat. Excellent dinner.....enough choice for everyone in their a la carte menu. They even managed to dig up some eau de... More
