We stayed as a family of four for 5 nights. PROS: - location was great, within walking distance to Anapuri - the breakfast was great and changed daily which was nice - the shared bathroom was clean - it did feel family friendly and we liked meeting other folks in the common area CONS: - our room was ok - the heater and fridge didn’t work and it was clean-ish - you have to walk through the dining area to access the communal showers which felt odd - the staff also utilized the common areas so sometimes it was hard to know who was actually working and it felt like we were an inconvenience at times when we were asking for things like coffee in the morning - in general, we felt the service was lacking for what we paid

Everything and everyone was great!

My partner, me, and a friend stayed from January 12th to the 16th, 2026. Location: Just a five-minute walk to Niseko Annapuri ski lodge and lift chairs. 15 minutes walk in snow to an Onsen (Niseko Hot Spring Ikoino Yuyado Iroha). You will want to coordinate a shuttle from the Kutchan train station, or a taxi beforehand. We made the mistake of arriving in the evening and not pre-arranging an Uber - we were lucky to hitch a ride with a private shuttle for a guide (we paid a premium due to the last-minute plan). Check-in & staff: Staff were great, always available when needed, coordinated a shuttle back to Kutchan, we shipped our gear from New Chitose Room: The room was clean, beds were a little small (normal for Japan so no complaints). There were 2 beds and a loft. The beds were good for our taste. Not too noisy, but it is a bed and breakfast so you will get used to hearing people walking down the hall. Everyone was mindful and quiet as expected. Amenities: There was WiFi, but I did not use it as I had a pre-paid SIM (highly recommend if travelling in a foreign country!). Breakfast was AMAZING AND FREE, 3-4 course dinners were phenomenal, and a good value (3100 yen), plenty of ski storage; AMAZING BAR Value: Very worth the price Issues: There was a power issue the last night of our stay, but the hotel was warm and cozy, it was quickly fixed Best for: Skiiers, snowboarders Verdict: I WOULD GO BACK!

Poor communication, dirty bedding, dead bugs, mouldy old food in the kitchen

Small but personable and friendly Inn. Good value for money - a local drop off and pick up service. Nice breakfast that varies every day.

Nice, cosy and spacious resort.

Loved staying at Milky house, would definitely stay again. It's a 10-minute walk to the Annupuri Gondola, had a cute little bar on-site for great apres drinks and a food cart that was there each evening. In addition the dinners and breakfast served at Milky were amazing! The staff were so kind and accommodating.

I rated them excellent on everything, especially customer service thanks to a medical emergency. They helped out with immensely. The one area that was a little bit more challenging was the fact that it’s an older building and you have to expect some idiosyncrasies but was well maintained. The location and staff are what stand out most!

Pretty cozy in the squirrel nest

Great property and friendly staff

The staff were so helpful in arranging lift passes, ski rentals and transportation. Great family vibe with home cooked comfort food. All meals were excellent. The onsite cafe/bar was an added bonus. The staff were all super friendly and made us feel welcome at all times.

Excellent host Masa-san. Very cosy and delicious food. Will stay again

Overall this property is very good.. give you a home feeling while travel in niseko.. but only one thing is the bath room only.. you have to queue to take bath.. and if is peak season.. u gonna wait.. But overall..its very nice to stay.. the food is nice and impress me alot..

The place feels like a second home extremely friendly staff great food great atmosphere just the way you would want a ski lodg complete with roaring fire place

The service is superb. Milky house fetched us from Niseko JR station upon arrival. This has minimised our hazard from finding transport to access the hotel. The breakfast and dinner served is fabulous.

Fantastic place and the food is excellent. Owner is a little grouchy though.

Country Inn Milky is a wonderful peaceful family-owned place, great value for your money if you stay in Niseko. The owner speaks pretty fluent English (better than staff of many hotels!) and breakfast is great (though they didn't tell me in advance that it requires additional payment, neither have asked me whether I even wanted this, which kind of disturbs me, though I would have opted for it anyway). The rooms are big and the beds are very comfortable. They are perfect for families. There's free WiFi in the common area but not in the rooms (I was actually able to catch low signal in my room with my laptop but not the phone). Niseko ski resorts are very close (note that I rented a car so I don't know about public transportation). I should warn you though that aside from the ski resorts there's nothing much to do in Niseko in general so if you're not into skiing you should reconsider whether you even want to visit the area.

This is one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. The hotel is rustic in atmosphere but very well maintained and comfortable. The staff are incredible and went out of their way to make our stay outstanding. They were able to communicate very well with us and even assisted in helping us make arrangements. The location is a 5 minute walk to the lifts at Annupuri ski area. The hotel is able to arrange for lift tickets and rentals at a discounted rate as well. Also, the hotel offers breakfast and dinner which was outstanding through the trip. Easy to provide a wholehearted recommendation for this hotel.

I stayed at the Milky Inn for 6 nights with 3 friends and we were thoroughly impressed. If you stay here be sure to have supper as the food is amazing. Also the owner does nightly drop off at onsens which we really appreciated as annupuri is a bit remote. One thing I would note is that a lot of the rooms share bathrooms and I believe there is only one shower for the whole main lodge. This was not a big problem for us it just meant that you occasionally had to wait for the shower. Another thing is that the Milky Inn has a common area, but this area is sometime used as part of the restaurant if the restaurant is full, so you may not have a place to hang out after skiing other than your room. However these were minor negatives in my opinion and overall I would say that this is a great place and with helpful and super friendly staff!

Inconvenience of having to use common bathroom and toilet.
