Niseko

This place is great if you are looking for some peace and quiet close to An’nupuri in Niseko so that you can ski hard. Good meals provided (breakfast was free). Dinner menu available on most nights. Walking distance to the gondola.  The owners are very sweet and helpful. Laundry and shower room on site. And reasonably priced.  Thanks Yama san!!

This is such a great place to stay. Yama-San, the owner, is a very friendly guy and will go out of his way to help you out. The breakfasts every day were delicious and varied, including different salads, yogurts and home made jams.You can be given discount vouchers for the adjacent hot spring which is great quality and Yama-San is full of advice about the day's conditions and which areas would be good to ski.It is possible to ski right back to the hotel as well, along a path through the forest which Yama-san showed me. We used the route several times in order to get back rather than wait for the shuttle bus or walk (though it is a bit harder on a heavy powder day).The bathrooms are not connected to the rooms so it helped to have some pyjamas or something easy to throw on if you need to get up in the middle of the night.There is a storage space in the entrance with a heater to dry your skis or boots, though you can also bring your boots to the room and dry them there. They provide large indoor slippers as well in case you have big feet.Would love to stay here again.

Yama-san went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. From organising a shuttle at departure to taking us on a "secret trail"  Our stay was lovely. Located within walking distance to the Annupuri entrance shuttle/bus stop, made for easy commuting between resorts. Everything you need if you're there to get outdoors all day and have a warm friendly chilled and not overcrowded, westernised home to return to each night. Highly recommended

Wonderful host, gorgeous setting

This was a great hotel for good value, and Yama-san was an excellent host giving us rides whenever we needed it. The breakfasts were good quality and size to fill us up for the ski days. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The owner is rude, unkind, difficult person to have conversations.I requested extra bed for twin room. That extra bed was narrow and small, but same price with normal bed. It's very expensive.One of us was sick, so I asked the owner to give us any hot drinks. Hot milk or hot water,,, she just said you could buy anything in a restaurant.

Never stay here

不親切、失礼、ピックアップサービスがない
エキストラベッド料金が大変高価
オーナーはコミュニケーションが取れない人
They have no pick up service, so we asked another hostel owner to pick up.
One of us was sick, so I asked her to give us hot drink; hot water or hot milk. The owner said " you must buy any hot drinks at the restaurant". How stupid!
Extra bed (narrow, small) costed equal with normal bed. Very exp
The owner doesn't understand booking system. I booked at "hotels.com" but the owner sent me message about cost from "Expedia". I couldn't find it and didn't reply, because that pension and I had connection with just "hotels.com site" But the owner said "I sent you anyway, so you(I) must pay"
Now I understand why only this pension was available on a high season. I never ever stay this pension again.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

The owner is very rude

Very good place to stay in Niseko with great atmosphere and friendly people. Just down the hill from Annupuri. Yama-san and Kana-san are great hosts and offers free rides by car to Moira and Annupuri every day. You can ski all the way back through the woods from both Moira and Annupuri, so you don’t have to walk to get back. Some good restaurants close by as well as some good onsens. Just a quick walk to the shuttle bus to get to Niseko Village and/or Hirafu if you want to do some shopping or try out some really good ramen restaurants. Good showers and easy to do laundry if you want to. Definitely staying here again if I’m in the area. /Gus-san

Ski trip, 2 week stay

Lovely pension, great place to relax after a day of skiing.

Private rooms, shared bathroom, very warm, inviting, relaxed atmosphere. Don't expect a hotel, but more of a community atmosphere. 

Breakfast included, free internet available on-site.

The hearty breakfasts served at 8AM generally filled us up enough to only stop for light lunches during the day. Yama-san also gives a daily snow report each morning during breakfast, and also gave us a great recommendation for a spot to check out on Annupuri to catch some good scenery, even though the days we were visiting didn't get much fresh powder.

We also enjoyed the dinner one evening (Yama-san operates a Nepali restaurant for a few hours in the early evening, its worth stopping by if you enjoy whats on the menu).

There is a nice onsen just down the road (walking distance), ask about a discount - in general, Yama-san will help you find whatever it is you're looking for in Niseko, including transportation in the mornings to Annupuri.

Parking is available on-site as well.

Note that this property is not suitable for children, but great for friends, couples, or solo travelers.

Wonderful respite in Niseko

We really enjoyed our stay, Yama- San is a brilliant host, we would definitely come back.
