Book top-rated Resorts in Niseko, Japan

"Rooms: We stayed in Rusutsu Tower. Excellent, plenty of space for four sharing. Food: Kazahana: Excellent. Great food, great staff and great fun - we dined there three times so they prepared a 'customised' dinner on the last occasion. Breakfast dull and unexciting. Skiing: Resort size is modest. Some good 'motorway' runs, some excellent runs 'through the trees'. Smaller than Niseko or ShigaKogen so best for 3-4 day trip. No lift queues and reasonable food on the mountains. Access: Easy from Sapporo or Chitose."

"According to our kids: "One of the best vacations". Niseko is around 3 hours bus ride from Chitose Airport, but it's worth the travel. I personally like the area which is away from the usual crowded city life. In Niseko, we connected with nature and I can't get enough of the beauty of Mt. Yotei, its cap is still covered with snow. She is so beautiful. It's off ski season and most of the resorts are closed, but luckily Grand Hirafu Ski Resort was open. We had a great family time. The kids learned to ski, thanks to our instructor who patiently taught first timers like us. Free scheduled shuttle is also available for hotel guests who would like to explore Niseko. Don't miss to drop by the Milk Kobo, just a 3 minutes shuttle ride form the hotel, they offer the best tasting cheese cake, ice cream and cream puffs. We also enjoyed The Village which is located beside the hotel. Food was great and the scenery was incomparable. Hotel staffs were very accommodating to our requests and questions. They offered nice breakfast but choices were limited. We ate mostly the same line up for 3 days. Our room, which was at the top floor, was small compared to other hotels we stayed, but it was clean and the view was amazing. I hope we can go back in one of our future vacations and truly enjoy the white season."

"The hotel is very pretty, with nice views of the snow capped slopes when you wake up. There is a nice cosy bar at the lobby, and one of the best onsens in Niseko. Hotel is near to good restaurants, and there is a shuttle into town if you need one. "

"To provide some context, I have stayed in dozens of hotels throughout the United States and internationally, and have spent over 300 nights in hotels, and this will be my first hotel review. We were so satisfied with Chalet Ivy, that I’d be remiss if I didn’t share this with the rest of the online community. Hotel Staff My buddy and I were traveling to Niseko to ski, and this was our first trip to Japan. I made the reservation through Agoda.com, and I emailed the hotel directly to confirm that they had received our reservation. In addition to confirming the reservation, I sent multiple emails in the months leading up to our trip for a variety of things, including restaurant recommendations, where to rent skis, airport transportation options, and other random questions. Every question I sent was answered promptly and thoroughly, and gave us a lot of confidence in our upcoming stay. Our flight into CTS was a little delayed, and around 11:30 PM, the hotel called my cell phone to confirm o"

"We were so happy that we found this hotel in niseko! We wanted an outdoor mixed onsen experience and this hotel gave us the best experience ever! The onsen is big, theres male and female's indoor onsen and there's this mixed onsen where we can share a bath together! And you won't have to be totally naked! The dinner buffet is amazing! We had great time in niseko grand hotel! Highly recommended! "

"The hotel is less than 5 minutes drive from niseko annapuri. There is free shuttle service but we rented a car so did not use the service. Ski centre in the hotel is convenient and there is free ski lockers for hotel guests to use. The hot spring in the hotel is very good. We enjoyed relaxing in the onsen after skiing. The breakfast is very good too. From 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm , there was live performance in the hotel lobby by retired musicians from Hokkaido symphony orchestra. We kids fell in love with the music played. We stayed there for a 6 days and really enjoyed it. Will go back again for sure."

"A very nice cosy hotel in niseko with free shuttle bus to and from Kutchan Station. A little distance from Annapuri and Hirafu Ski Resort but with walking distance to Moiwa Ski Resort. Room is spacious and clean. Booked room with dinner and I get 2 nights of delicious course meal dinner. Superb. "

"If you're planning to stay around the Niseko area, THIS IS IT, I, with all my credit, believe me please, guarantee. And I would simply have to say that my stay at the hostel couldn't have been any better. I'd say this in several terms. 1. Clean. Not dirty at all, perhaps neater than most households. 2. Friendliness of the staff. While I for the moment do not recall the owner's name(it was Cho or something), he was among the MOST hospitable, helpful, and friendly person I've ever met in my travels. He was very professional of course in the normal procedures(checkin/out/guidance for facility use), but that's not it. Dinners, after-dinner toasts w/ hostel ppl,.. u name it. Yet there's this episode, too. After I checked out and took the train from Kutchan station headed to Sapporo, I realized that I left my priceless camera at the hostel. So I called him and desperately asked for help; no problem, I got my camera back, with him who came ALL THE WAY FROM THE HOSTEL TO KUTCHAN STATION just to hand me my camera. I have so much endebted to him, he is simply an AMAZING guy. 3. Facilities cooking facilities are there, along with decent-quality showers, washing machines and stuff. 4. Location just a 10 minute walk from Kutchan. I like walking, so I had no problem with that, but for those of you who do have an issue, you can simply ask him(Dammit I forgot his name.. my savior lol) and he'll pick you up by car. +he'll drive you all the way to the ski resort in the morning. 5. You can get along with fellow backpackers if you'd like. I made friends with one chinese, one taiwanese, and two french dudes. In overall: It feels just like home. like sweet home. I don't see why I won't, if I do visit Niseko again, stay in the hostel once more. I would love to visit this hostel and recollect my memories, and once again thank the owner for his help and devotion. "

"My wife and I had a very nice experience at Ki Niseko. There was a shuttle bus to fetch us and bring us to the airport. Also, the shuttle bus services around the area if you want to use the other Gondola lifts. They also helped us arranged a ski instructor to teach us how to ski. The hotel also had Onsen, and we had a very nice experience! We'll definitely book at this hotel again when we go back to Ki Niseko."

"A great alternative to staying in the craziness of Rusutsu resort. The staff are very friendly and it's close to the skiing area... an easy walk of 1+ km, but also a shuttle service available. Will stay again!"
