Would visit again. Feels like home at a fraction of the price of neighboring hotels.

Not too far from the main streets. I sometimes go to hirafu ski area on foot. Free shuttle buses at lawson (4minutes on foot), 1 stop to hirafu gondola. Almost perfect for skiing and budget stay.

Beautiful pension located only an eight minute walk from the main street- walking distance to the Hirafu gondola and chairlifts. Room was small but clean and comfortable beds. Breakfast provided every morning between 7.30-8.30am. Would stay again!

Great sized room for Niseko, the owners were lovely, the common areas clean and the other guests friendly. There is a shuttle down the street to the lifts or its not to far to walk.

10/10

This is such a perfect place to stay! It's so clean and well designed (there's a dedicated door to the basement to store wet/snowy gear and a communal kitchen on the top floor 🙂). I found it extremely convenient staying here while snowboarding at Niseko. The owners were so kind and accommodating as well. They stored our luggage here prior to our arrival and stored it for us at the end of our stay which allowed us to get one more day of snowboarding in. As a heads up to others staying, the owners were unable to pick us up nor drop us off in Kutchan when we arrived/left, so make sure to arrange rides for yourselves when you come here because commuting down to Kutchan can be very difficult! I would definitely stay again! (But I would book a taxi 5 days in advance)

Cozy and convenient. Although it’s small, it’s enough for a ski trip just to put the luggage and stay outside most of the day. Not far from ski lifts, and the host provides transport to Welcome Centre if required. Easy to hit your head when going downstairs from outside to the ski room.

It was my second time here. The maintenance of the pension is good. The owner is nice and I will come again.

8/10

Stayed for 8 nights with my son from the 18th January. Had a room with 2 single beds and a loft. Loft came in handy to store luggage and clothes. Breakfast was fine and hit the spot every morning. Easy walking distance to restaurants and bus stop which dropped you off to gondola. 3 min trip. The only improvement would be a better drying room. Would recommend for those on a budget and looking for a quite place to relax.
