This Ski Resort Has Epic Snow, Hot Springs, Lift Tickets for Under $100, and the Best Ramen on Earth

"Located in the center of Grand Hirafu, Setsu blends the sophistication of a city hotel with the warmth of a mountain lodge, with slate-gray walls set against pale woods and glowing lanterns. Rooms range from cozy studios to sprawling apartments with tatami spaces and deep soaking tubs. Foodies will love the five on-site restaurants, including Afuri ramen and méli mélo, a Franco-Japanese tasting room. Add in ski lockers, shuttle service, and family-friendly touches, and it’s no wonder Setsu has become a social hub." - Denny Lee Denny Lee Denny Lee is a seasoned editor, writer, and traveler.
