This is such a perfect place to stay! It's so clean and well designed (there's a dedicated door to the basement to store wet/snowy gear and a communal kitchen on the top floor 🙂). I found it extremely convenient staying here while snowboarding at Niseko. The owners were so kind and accommodating as well. They stored our luggage here prior to our arrival and stored it for us at the end of our stay which allowed us to get one more day of snowboarding in. As a heads up to others staying, the owners were unable to pick us up nor drop us off in Kutchan when we arrived/left, so make sure to arrange rides for yourselves when you come here because commuting down to Kutchan can be very difficult! I would definitely stay again! (But I would book a taxi 5 days in advance)

Beautiful pension located only an eight minute walk from the main street- walking distance to the Hirafu gondola and chairlifts. Room was small but clean and comfortable beds. Breakfast provided every morning between 7.30-8.30am. Would stay again!

Stayed for 8 nights with my son from the 18th January. Had a room with 2 single beds and a loft. Loft came in handy to store luggage and clothes. Breakfast was fine and hit the spot every morning. Easy walking distance to restaurants and bus stop which dropped you off to gondola. 3 min trip. The only improvement would be a better drying room. Would recommend for those on a budget and looking for a quite place to relax.

Budget priced rooms. Very small room with very limited space for your clothes and bags. There were 5 coat hangers only and no cupboards/drawers. There was a kids study desk. We ended up storing our suitcases and most of our clothes upstairs in the loft area. When we found extra coat hangers in the kitchen , we ending up hanging our clothes off the stairs & anywhere else we could attach a coat hanger. The WIFI was very slow and sometimes you could not connect at all. The shared kitchen area had a microwave, small fridge & toaster oven (but no standard toaster) - it did have a washing machine & dryer. No cutting knives, we had to ask for one each day to cut bread, there was a coffee table acting as a dining table - We weren't sure if we prepared our own meals that we could use the official dining room downstairs - or if that was for guests who paid for prepared meals. The owner's English language skills made it difficult to even ask basic questions like this. Catching the bus to the ski Gondola etc proved difficult if you wanted to get 1st lifts (8:30am) as the 1st bus only arrived around 8:30 and it did a long loop. We ended up walking each day just so we could get to the ski lifts on time (15 mins carrying skis and walking in ski boots not a lot of fun).

Fantastic place to stay for a ski holiday, the owners are super friendly and will pick you up and drop you off at the Welcome Centre for free when you arrive and leave. The place only has a few rooms so it's very cosy and quiet. In terms of cleanliness everything was spotless including the common kitchen. For breakfast you get a set meal which mostly includes eggs and some type of meat and salad plus unlimited cereal, bread, coffee, tea and juice. It is slightly different each day. The only negative I am pointing out is that for someone who is used to a very soft bed at home the mattress was quite hard. However I would definitely stay there again if we're lucky enough to make it back to Niseko one day. It's only a 10 min walk from the lifts and there is also a shuttle bus available from about a 100m away.

Cozy and convenient. Although it’s small, it’s enough for a ski trip just to put the luggage and stay outside most of the day. Not far from ski lifts, and the host provides transport to Welcome Centre if required. Easy to hit your head when going downstairs from outside to the ski room.
