I have to say that unashamedly in winter Sekka
is my favorite restaurant.
Here’s why !





This panorama of the stylin’ interior was shot during a special private booking. Usually there are more people dining but it is a bit tricky setting up my tripod without raising a few eyebrows while i huff and puff my way through shooting a pano – amongst friends A OK.

So if you are in Hirafu for the 2010/11 season make a booking and enjoy some of the best local ingredients Hokkaido has to offer served up in an inspired delicious menu to suit all tastes.

Have been doing some work on Kimamaya and The Barn for the Odin Group.
The newly renovated Kimamaya Opened on the 15th of Dec and is now a boutique hotel on Momiji Street. Originally one of the first pensions built in the Middle Village of Hirafu, it now offers nine well-appointed, exclusive residences – five rooms and four lofts.
The Barn is next to Kimamaya on the downhill side which opened on the 19th of Dec which is when this panorama was shot. The Barn is a great Japanese fusion style restaurant / bar and definitely worth checking out.
