Ryo was an amazing host. He shuttled us to the mountain every day and was a great help. Although the property is so conveniently close to the train station, my friend and I still managed to almost miss our train to Sapporo… Ryo saved the day and drove us to the train station, carried both of our massive luggage bags up to the ticket booth, and helped us buy tickets just in time!
Located a 10-minute bus ride from JR Kutchan Railway Station, My Ecolodge offers simple yet cozy rooms with free WiFi.

My Ecolodge offered free pick up and transfer to Hirafu welcome center and Kutchan Station. Very convenient especially we have big luggage and it was difficult to walk in snow with luggage. There are breakfast everyday, not fancy but good enough for skiing the whole morning. But the dinner ramen was awesome. Slurping hot ramen was exactly what I needed after skiing the whole day. The room was very clean with powerful heater. The bed and blankets were comfy. I had good sleep every night. But the power plugs are locating in not that handy spots. An extension may be needed. The location is a bit far from the ski resorts but it makes the neighborhood more local and affordable. If you are able to catch the shuttle bus and understand the free shuttle rules, the location is not an issue. All in all, it was a great stay.

It is super clean with comfortable room and beds. We are lucky that we got it to ourselves as nobody else was staying at the time.
Surrounded by nature, Boken Kazoku is a traditional 90-year-old building with a terrace and a playground with mountain views.

Friendly staff and a great free shuttle service to go to the resort.
It's also good that there is a restaurant at the accommodation for dinner and it's only a short walk to Lawson's convenience store for extra drinks, snacks or breakfast.
Niseko Hirafu Tsukushi has accommodations in Kutchan near Lerch Memorial Park and Hirafu Golf Center.

Breakfast was unavailable when we were visiting. Really enjoyed our stay. Lots of shower facilities. Our hosts were super nice. They were "learning English" but willing to help out in any way possible. Helped get us to Grand Hirafu every morning and even dropped us off at a rental shop on the way the first morning. They did not have rental gear for rent but took us to a great, cheap place. They have a ski gear drying area which is super nice!
Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Owashi Lodge is located just a 328 feet from Niseko Mt. Resort Grand Hirafu. Free private parking is available on site.

The location is perfect. Several times I got off the mountain, popped in to change goggles or eat a meal and it was super convenient being so close to the lift.
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
The hotel was spotlessly clean, amazing cleaning staff. Great buffet breakfast, though pretty much identical every day. Great location next to Max Value (supermarket) and Daiso. Appreciated the in-room humidifier. Wonderful shuttle to and from the mountain. This is one of the few remaining affordable accommodation options in Niseko. Having first come in 2005, every trip I end up staying further and further out. However, as Niseko has westernised over the years, I much prefer the charm and real Japaneseness of Kutchan.
The premises is a hostel that caters for skiers during Winter. We had the tatami beds in a private room and if we can cope aged 57 and 60 anybody can!
It was the cheapest we could find but we enjoyed, aside from the cold showers, but it was cheap in comparison 😀
Great location if you want to travel to more than just niseko as long as you have a car.
Super clean and central in Kutchan for all the restaurants and night life.
Be prepared that the rooms are very tight, especially with snowboard bags and luggage but as long as you set it up so that everything goes back in its place it’s a great little room.
We’ll be back next time we’re in Hokkaido!
I guess I didn’t read the description but it’s a really cool property, it’s an old school turned into a hostel. The owners were extremely nice and communicated everything well. There a bus stop for both directions at the entrance making it very accessible to either town. When I got hurt and had to go to the hospital the grandma at the property who used to be a nurse helped re bandage my ankle after the hospital didn’t do a good job and everyone checked on me every day. It was really sweet.
The location and the staff were absolutely superb. I would absolutely stay there again if I return to Niseko. Very welcoming and warm family who run the place which felt more like a hotel than a hostel. Excellent value for money.
The house is beautiful and cosy feeling and Ryo keeps the whole place super clean and well maintained. The beds were comfy and rooms were well heated. Kitchen was sufficiently equipped with all you need.
The location was good, near to the JR Kutchan station, a supermarket and a 7-11. Ryo also provides daily morning shuttle to Hirafu, which is highly appreciated.
Most remarkably Ryo is a friendly and helpful host, and a wonderful cook too :)
This is one of the best hostel we have stayed in!
