    Excellent host, went out of his way to be helpful. Clean and practical accommodation, good location and great value given the crazy prices in Niseko. Make sure to rent Kohei's powder skis and sign up for his cheese fondue!

    Clean rooms and super friendly host. Lucky with the Mt Yotei view. Enjoyed the morning pickup to the gondola and even a powder day skiing day using the skis made by the owner. Hope to come back to ski again!

    Beautiful building and lovely caring staff. I’ve been at 5 star hotels that have less attentive personnel, so the value here is incredible. Restaurant was fantastic and loads of places to meet people.
