Accommodations at Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan

Accommodation

All accommodation is conveniently located close to the ski lifts. You can either walk to the nearest lift or catch the free shuttle bus that circles the village all day.

In most Pensiones, and some Lodges, accommodation with ensuite bathrooms is hard to find and shared facilities are common. If you want a room with a private bathroom, you need to book early!

Accommodation Options

Accommodation in Japan is fairly basic compared to Western ski resorts. Rooms are smaller, with the bare minimum of necessities, eg small wardrobes (if any), smaller beds and even smaller bathrooms.

Self Contained Accommodation

There is a large selection of self contained accommodation available in the village. This includes basic cottages and chalets right through to luxury western style apartments.

Self contained apartments and cottages are perfect for families or groups of friends. Most include kitchens and all have their own private bathrooms.
