Niseko Village is a great resort and has extremely user-friendly ski-in/ski-out services. I was in Niseko Village for 2009 Xmas to ski or, to be exact, learn to ski. Can't comment on the instructors because I have no comparison. However, the arrangement made by Hilton Niseko Village to assist skiers/boarders alike were really fantastic. Simply ski down the slope, take off your skis/board, enter the hotel building and within 10 steps there are welcoming hands from a counter help to store your equipment and right next to this, a second counter stores your boots in exchange for your own shoes. This will be the reverse when you want to go out skiing/boarding and the lift and gondola are only 10 to 20 steps after exiting the hotel building. Totally trouble-free and energy saving. Moreover, these are all carried out with broad smiles.
