Overall Ratings
5 based on 53 reviews
Brand new for the 2016/17 winter season, opening in January 2017, Snow Dog is a modern apartment sanctuary nestled in Higashiyama, close to Niseko Village Resort. Comfortable and fresh design with modern furnishings, fittings and appliances. Suited for couples and small families in an affordable price range with a choice of apartment options from studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms.
This is what all accommodation should be like!
Reviewed By CWRGThe rooms are compact, but incredibly well equipped and immaculately clean. The rooms have absolutely everything you need on your ski holiday: a fully equipped kitchen, a washer / dryer, quality linens on a comfortable bed and a great bathroom. The very best part of the Snow Dog Niseko is the reception staff, who are absolute stars: Knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. The location is absolutely perfect: Not too far from the lifts and close to the Black Diamond Lodge. I look forward to going back one day!

Feels like home
Reviewed By Danielr_adventuresI've stayed all over the Niseko area, and have yet to find a better place to come home to after riding all day. This year was my fourth year at Moiwa Lodge and I am consistently impressed. The staff consists of mostly native English speakers and a few really awesome Japanese locals. They are all always so incredibly cheerful and eager to help whenever they can. Yukari, the superhero cook, makes huge breakfast every morning. Like a hotel breakfast but WAYY better! Four to five different types of homemade bread, plus eggs, bacon, sausage, cereals, juices, loads of coffee. I usually didn't even need lunch after stuffing myself. Dinners are between 1,000-1,500yen, reasonably priced and totally worth it. Yukari, again crushes it with a variety of authentic Japanese meals. Nao, the bartender, is a backcountry guide during the day and has fantastic advice on where to ride if you need it. Or you can just walk up about 100 steps to the Moiwa lift and realize there's powder everywhere and no lift lines. From Moiwa you can also ride over to all the other resorts too so you never actually have to take a bus. If you're a work-traveler like myself, there's plenty of spots to work from within the lodge. Internet usually works great except sometimes around dinner when everyone is at the lodge sucking data. Also the wifi in the dorm rooms on the bottom floor can be spotty. But when the rest of the lodge is so relaxing and comfortable, you really don't spend too much time in the dorms. Although the beds are quite comfy as well. The entire lodge is very well equip as well, from shampoo and laundry soap to backcountry gear rentals. It's clear that they've though of everything you could ask for. Overall Moiwa Lodge is, in my opinion, the definition of "great bang for your buck". Depending on the room(s) you book, it can be more expensive than other places in Niseko but 100% worth every penny (or yen). These people know how to run a lodge and make you feel very welcome.

A quaint charming hotel in the middle of Niseko's mountains
Reviewed By KrubeeNestled in the middle of Grand Hirafu and Mt. Yotei (the Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido) mountains stands this quaint charming budget boutique hotel that provides both shared common rooms and private rooms to their guests. It is one of the most affordable and charming boutique budget hotel in Niseko that is conveniently located in Yamada intersection about 10 mins bus ride from JR Kutchan Station using Niseko express. The hotel also offers free pick-up from Hirafu Center or JR Kutchan station but you need to book a day in advance. The lobby is a bit spacious with the lounge and a lot of seating area greeting you. The cafe is just beside the lobby. Check-in and check-out are very fast and the staff speaks good English and provide you all the hotel rules. There is no elevator in the hotel so if you're in the 3F need to walk-up the stairs but the staff could also assist you. We booked a twin room that costs only 200 dollars overnight with a small single pane window with a view of the main road. The beds are single beds combined together but their comfortable and soft. The shower and toilet is just the right space but the water heating is very difficult to adjust specially the hot water by turning just a bit there is a huge difference. The toilet bowl's flush is also not accurately sprouting the right water in the right direction. But other than these the room is very clean and cozy for a cold winter's night. They provide slippers, mini fridge and space for your clothes/luggage and enough power outlets. The breakfast is so unique and cute - a combination of Western and Japanese dishes and their sumptuous. Salad is fresh, Rice is properly cooked and the dishes are absolutely flavourful. WiFi is a bit slow though. The best part if the location just in front of the hotel is a 7 eleven with lots of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Then behold the mountains behind the hotel on a clear day you will see the heavenly majestic amazingly wonderful Mt. Yotei, with its perfect pyramid cone shape they say it is the Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido. We are lucky to see it on our stay and we took hundreds of photos and videos and even walked into the back of the hotel walking along the creek and into the endless snow blanketed fields. If you look West from the hotel beholds Niseko Mt. Resort Grand Hirafu, a vast ski resort from the top of Mt. Annupuri. At the base lies the lovely Hirafu Village with many shops and restaurants along its path. There is a free shuttle bus from the hotel that goes to Hirafu Center and at the same your could also walk for about 15 mins from Hirafu Village back to the hotel. It is indeed a unique and memorable experience staying at this place and although we only stayed overnight it felt like days. One of the amazing dish we tried here is the famous Hokkaido Miso Butter Ramen, which is truly unique, refreshing and divine. Finally, if we ever go back to Niseko there is no doubt we will stay again here at My Ecolodge - a great place to be.

Great value, compact but super modern and clean
Reviewed By sielAsahikawa After half a day on Rishiri it wasn’t possible to reach Sounkyo onsen the same day, so I stopped in Asahikawa. Stayed in 9-C hotel, close to the station and great value for a small but comfortable private room (shared facilities). Very clean and modern, and nice to have a normal shower in between all these onsens. As bad weather was forecasted, I chose to spend the main part of the day in Asahikawa: tried the local soyu ramen and visited the Ainu museum (local bus from bus stop 14 in front of the train station) - respect for the efforts but this place could do with far better interpretation about their culture and heritage, the fact that it all looks so dusty and outdated does not help the credibility of the place imo. Bus to Sounkyo onsen, via Kamikawa, from stop 8 in front of the train station.

6. Kozue
Overall Ratings
5 based on 8 reviews
Kozue's pristine riverfront and clifftop site enjoys views of rolling hills through the fine branches of the treetops, which are known as 'kozue' in Japanese. Kozue boasts a prime Hirafu Village location with easy access to the slopes, and embraces Niseko's natural beauty in each luxurious aspect.
Very Convenient and Relaxing. Works well for Skiers and Non-Skiers.
Reviewed By wonderingwanderer_11Stayed for a week with family. Half our group skied; half did not (the older ones). Not often the case a property can cater to both groups. The skiers were ferried up to wherever they wanted to start on the mountain, and picked up as well when they finished skiing. The non skiers enjoyed the under 5 minute walk to the Vale/Shiki/Ezo/Lawsons etc as well as just staying home in the very cozy flat. Right across was Shiki which has Green Farm cafe for breakfast, a great deli plus gourmet restaurants Kamimura and Kitchen. The rooms were also really quiet- couldn't hear traffic, snow clearing or teenagers dressing up in snow gear! The property had a driver and car available to bring some us to the next towns (more food adventuring and food shopping) and any further restaurants we wanted to try (walking in the cold and snow was a bit much for some members of the group). One minor issue was that while the ski room was really convenient, the actual storage capacity of the ski lockers felt really cramped given the number in our party. Minor issue though, we'll definitely be back.

Best Hotel Experience In Niseko
Reviewed By LesterK491Love this hotel so much. Hotel is nested just 2-3min drive away from the main village but you get see so much openness and space. Feels like you are living in the middle of the wild. Hotel is brand new and room are spacious with great amenities. Onsen (indoor and outdoor) and breakfast were a delight. The Japanese staff speaks perfect English (unlike other Japanese Hotel I stayed in where there was many communication issues). Everything was well sanalized and very very clean. I will be definitely returning next trip and staying here instead of the main village. Nishi-San and Horita-san were very helpful during our stay. I stayed from 11-13 Dec 2020.
8. WE Hotel Toya

Super helpful staff and beautiful hotel
Reviewed By petaohataTo start with, the staff made our stay excellent - from when we arrived an hour early because of the rain and they met us at the car with an umbrella and let us check in early, through to providing us with extra bed linen when our son dirtied some, and just being very friendly - this was a highlight. The location isn’t in the main touristy part of Toya, and for us that was an advantage. It’s in a more local part of Toya town so the views remain excellent but you are close to more local cafes, famous local donut shops and more off the beaten track places which we loved exploring. (Definitely easier if you have a car I imagine!) Facilities wise, our room was great for a family with two young kids, the outside bath in the room was a special experience and the main hotel onsen was a good size and not crowded. Lots of nice little touches like a huge bowl of fresh cookies in the room and a nice coffee machine - so from reading previous reviews I definitely think this hotel is taking feedback on board and doing a great job. Dinner was a set course and breakfast was buffet style. They did a great job of changing out items because we’d let them know of an allergy in advance and they provided full kids chairs and eating implements. Great stay!

Winter - B&B lodge situated close to the Niseko Village ski resort Summer - B&B lodge offering activities such as rafting and hot air balloon
Outstanding personal service with comfortable hospitality
Reviewed By stevek891We loved the central valley location and over-sized room at the OAC. Mark and Sayuri shared a wealth of local knowledge and guided us to perfect dining & onsen options and even tipped us off on how to navigate the mountain on a rare bluebird powder day.
10. Ohisama House

Private room rather than a guest house.
Reviewed By Keven07Judging by the other reviews, times must have changed. We were very excited to be staying in a local guest house. Having visited Hokkaido a few times before I've had some wonderful experiences staying in local guest houses. It was a little odd when we first arrived - early evening - that other guests were in their rooms when there was a lovely open fire blazing downstairs. However, it soon became apparent that the owners, Yoko and and her husband Kazia, watched TV all evening and the downstairs was their space to drink and enjoy their evening. This in itself is not a problem at all but when you're paying USD180 (EUR150/AUD270) per night you'd absolutely expect the house to be for guests to enjoy as well, rather than a sub par level of service comparable to that of a cheap AirBNB private room. Breakfast is not included; you cannot use the cooking facilities and have to pay cash for breakfast in addition to the above price. There are no double rooms, as advertised, and all rooms have single beds pushed together. If you're booking, the shared bathroom bedroom has the best views, over the two rooms with private bathrooms and you're only sharing with the owners' bathroom downstairs. Towels are changed daily. Contrary to another review I saw, the drying room is quite spacious. The owners will pick you up and drop you off at the Rusutsu Resort long with a choice of 8:30 or 9:00am drop offs in the morning. It's also just a 10 minute stroll to the gondola (or longer hobble in ski boots!). Because we opted not to pay the extra cash for the breakfast, we were made to feel quite uncomfortable. Honestly, even if you've got money to burn there are MUCH better places to stay; find a discount rate at the Rusutsu Resort, hire a car and stay at one of the other wonderful local lodges nearby. If you've got a small group hire a lodge through StayRusutsu. For the price, Ohisama House does not come recommended what-so-ever.
