My Ecolodge, hotel in Niseko

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.

Beautifully decorated guesthouse in a well renovated Japanese house. The common areas are cosy and livable . The room was well designed and came with it's own sink and lots of luggage space. The bed was firm and very comfortable, the pillow was super soft. There is a fully equipped kitchen and smart TV in the living room.

Rusutsu Grand Cabin, hotel in Niseko

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 Side 6, hotel in Niseko

Only a 2-minute drive from Niseko Annupuri Ski Resort, Niseko Side 6 offers beds in dormitory rooms, as well as private rooms.

We LOVED this hostel! The staff were very nice, we were a 3 min walk from the mountain and shuttle to other ski areas. Good price for the area. The kitchen was fully stocked. There were cheap snacks to purchase in the front which was nice because there isn’t food nearby. There was a room to wax your gear. The showers were super AMAZING! There is also an Onsen a 5 minute walk away for 1000 yen. The lounge was very comfortable with a good vibe allowing us to make friends with a lot of awesome guests!

Niseko Hirafu Tsukushi, hotel in Niseko

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!

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.

    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.
