Absolutely "LOVE" RHYTHM JAPAN. We have been hiring our gear here for the past 9 trips (9 years consecutive. They have a pretty decent supply of skis/boards to suit most all ages and abilities. They also have a decent selection of inner/outerwear along with accessories. Prices are pretty much the norm unless you go later in the season where you'll be able to pick up bargains. The Staff are ALWAYS friendly and knowledgeable and ready to help where they can. If you can't find anything at one of their 3 stores they will generally source it from another store and have it ready for you either the same day or the next. the stores have a coffee bar and Rhythm Peak have a bar if you feel the need for a cold one or two. We only returned home two days ago from Niseko and will shortly be planning to hire our gear yet again through RHYTHM Niseko for our 10th trip. Btw, if you book online they usually offer a 15% discount as we are club members. THANKS RHYTHM for your great service over the years:)
