Niseko Tabi-tsumugi Backpackers, hotel in Niseko

A 10-minute walk from JR Kutchan Train Station, Niseko Backpackers Hostel Tabi-Tsumugi offers simple accommodation with extra-long beds.

Rio san!!! ありがとうございます!!! This place is really amazing Very beautiful, with a view to mount Yotei, tatami mattress in the rooms, a comfortable bed, and comfortable shared space which includes a kitchen with everything you'll need and even a cultural tatami salon. very clean too! The place is really close to the train and bus station (a nice short walk), which makes it easy if you don't have a car. Also, the nighboring house is a sake distillery! I stayed in the shared room and it was great 😁 But non of the above compares to the amazing hospitality of the owner, Rio, who actually does everything for the best of his guests!!! You are an amazing person and your treatment made my staying superb! Thank you very very much

This was very(!) comfortable accommodation! My room was beautiful and clean, and you get your room to yourself. The aircon was great in summer. Kitchen facilities and common areas were great and also very clean. It is located in the cute town of Kutchan, and it easy to walk around the town.

Owashi Lodge, hotel in Niseko

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Owashi Lodge is located just a 100 metres from Niseko Mt. Resort Grand Hirafu. Free private parking is available on site.

The room was exactly as pictured. We stayed for 11 days. We probably ate the breakfast every second day, and alternated between visiting a cafe - Green Farm Cafe is a must for coffee and their sandwiches are incredible. The hostel breakfast was sufficient to fuel us up for a full day of snowboarding, and it was great that breakfast was included. The location is the best thing about this place - you can't get much closer to the lifts. Of course this means you have to walk a little way to get to restaurants in Lower Hirafu, but in my opinion this is better as you're not lugging all your ski gear around with you to dinner. Once we arrived the staff were incredibly helpful and accomodating, but prior to our arrival when I'd used the chat function for advice on the best way to get to Niseko I was told to Google it, which I did not find overly helpful. The mattress was comfortable and there's a heater in each room so you've got temperature control. My partner and I stayed in a private room which has a double bed with a single bunk on top of us. This was good for extra storage - we put our clothes up there.

Boken Kazoku, hotel in Niseko

Surrounded by nature, Boken Kazoku is a traditional 90-year-old building with a terrace and a playground with mountain views.

Lovely JP stylish accommodation. The basic kitchenwares and induction cooker are provided. No heater in the communal areas so it's a bit cold but there is one in the living room to warm up. 5mins bus to the supermarker. The owners are very helpful guys who kindly picked me up and sent me back to the welcome centre when leaving. They do clean their house every morning as I can see. Highly recommended and value for money!

Smart Hotel Kutchan, hotel in Niseko

Set in Niseko, within 21 km of Niseko Annupuri International Ski Area and 21 km of Niseko Annupuri Hot Spring, スマートホテル俱知安 offers accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the...

Smart Hotel Kutchan was - in my experience - a superb hotel for solo travelers in the summer. The system for using the hotel and etiquette was well-explained. The system for accessing the building outside of front-desk reception staff hours was made clear. There was reasonable privacy in the capsule itself. I made use of the facilities including showers and bathroom which were clean and provided amenities. The location of the hotel is excellent, being only a very short walk away from Kutchan station and nearby shops and restaurants.

All hostels in Niseko
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    This was an excellent hotel all around. Great facilities, wonderful staff, super clean, and great location. We went during the summer and rented a car to get around. However, even without a car there is a lot to do in walking distance to the hotel.

    The staff was amazing!!! So friendly and helpful! The vibe was good meeting people from all over the world - it's more like a chilled backpackers' place. Great with an ice machine in the kitchen! Pretty good location, a 10 min walk to the main street and a 15 min walk from the ski slope at the end of the day. But there are buses too.

    Beautiful staff providing such a lovely experience. I would stay here every time I return to niseko and was the best hostel I stayed in all of Japan. The staff also dropped and picked me up from my bus which was very handy. Would recommend to anyone

    Great stay and good breakfast. Definitely worth the budget stay. About 200m from the lift but thats super close compared to other more expensive accommodations. ALSO: RENT GEAR FROM HERE. So much cheaper than other place, more than 50% cheaper. I got performance skis for two days for 4000 yen, CRAZY. My friends went to another place and payed 3x as much. Great stay

    the property is a 15 mins walk from the Main Street but they have a mini bus and also the local free shuttle. the rooms are quite tiny with a set of bunks and an additional single bed (triple room) but has been laid out so well with 3 little wardrobes and safes. a tiny bathroom with a super deep little bath tub and a seperate Japanese style toilet! fridge in the room and a common kitchen so would be great for young people on a budget. we stayed here one night as our apartment wasn’t available.
