This was the second time we went to e Barn, located in lower Hirafu. It is a big space, but the decor is well done, and it feels quite cozy, especially as there are not many tables. The service was attentive. We were 5 people and each got different things on the menu. No one had something that disappointed them... More

As far as fine dining is concerned, I would say this is clearly the best restaurant in the area. Initial attempt to book for a Wednesday (27th March) failed, because it was full, even though it was low season, so we settled for the Friday instead. I would therefore, recommend booking as far in advance as possible in every case.... More

I've spent 2 seasons in Niseko and this is by far my favourite place in the village. For cocktails, food and good times. Tonight was by far, the best meal I've eaten since arriving just over 6 months ago. I sampled different dishes from around the table, there wasnt one that didnt melt in my mouth. The staff are an...

A great night. Be sure to get an early booking. Indulge in the strawberry daquiris and the 3 course menu. Good value, excellent cooking. Great atmosphere, quirky design. A haven in Niseko

My group of friends were on vacation in Japan for 10 days and were really impressed by the food in all the places that we had been to. Not only was the food really good, it was quite reasonable in most of the places we had been to. We had come across some really amazing reviews about the Barn and... More

I would not bother wasting your time with the barn. As can be seen from other reviews here on trip advisor, there is absolutely no consideration given to vegetarian food - even chicken. We booked and arrived for our sitting, and within 5 minutes had to leave. There was no vegetarian option available on the set menu, and when we... More
