We have skied Kiroro for the past 14 years; however, due to covid and a family illness have not been back to our home in Niseko for 4 years. We were excited to ski Kiroro yesterday on a big powder day, started with a great cappucino and some Dan Dan noodles for lunch. Sadly, since Club Med seem to have taken over, our Kiwi owned coffee shop has gone replaced by the worst watery machine coffee we have ever had. And the lunch restaurant, food was inedible. I wondered why it was pretty empty when we entered. And a waffle surrounded sausage...what are they thinking? And no longer having to register as we excited the gates... Such a shame as it was an amazing Japanese skiing experience and now not so.
