The Green Leaf Niseko Village, Niseko, Japan

· ski-in, ski-out on a green run · next to the Upper Village gondola, ski school meeting point, nursery slopes · ski bus stop opposite for regular services to Hirafu and Kutchan towns · 13 minutes' walk to the resort centre

Right next to the Upper Village Gondola, the Green Leaf has ski-in, ski-out access and is right on a green run, so whether you're still finding your ski legs or you've got a few trips under your belt, it's in a great spot for getting on the slopes. And there are some top-notch facilities too – from the tobogganing area just outside, to the indoor-outdoor onsens and chic Tomioka bar and lounge area, perfect for a post-ski drink.

One of a handful of hotels in Niseko Village, the Green Leaf's been designed to reflect its natural surroundings, and it's all about cosy comfort in a luxury setting. Step inside and you'll find roaring fires, coffee tables made from tree trunks and antler-shaped lights, as well as unique hand-drawn graphic designs from a local artist. And one of the best bits is the outdoor onsen. Head there when you're back from the slopes to sit back and relax in the natural hot springs. With snow-covered pine trees and rocks all around, there's nothing quite like it.

Your breakfasts are included here, so you can tuck into a hot and cold buffet every day before hitting the hill. Then when you're back, why not pay a little extra to take advantage of the overnight ski or board waxing service – drop your gear off before 4pm and they'll have it fresh and ready for your next day on the mountain. And when dinner time rolls around, jump on the free shuttle to Niseko Village's restaurants. There's plenty to choose from and you can try a different place every night.
