A very lovely place to stay. Dave san and his wife made the place very comfortable. The location is a bit off the main area, but Dave San would drive you around so it’s not an issue at all. The ski resort shuttle bus also makes it convenient to travel between ski resorts. Dave San would also recommend places for dinner etc and help you to make reservations and pick you up/drop you off. I very much enjoyed my stay and will certainly be back again next time if/when I am visiting Niseko again.

The staff were absolutely fantastic, eager and willing to help me settle into Niseko, find a place to rent gear. Giving lifts every day to the slopes in the morning and then back to the inn at the end of the day. There is also a fantastic Sora (bathhouse room) that you can book private time in.

The only issue is that the inn is a little far away from Niseko village, so be sure to stock up while you're out during the day, otherwise it's a 3.5km walk to the nearest convenience store (a walk I still greatly enjoyed).

Dave San the host was absolutely wonderful! He and his wife made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable! The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was located in a beautiful area, with great views of Mount Yotei and Mount Niseko. Though the hotel was a bit far from the town, Dave San would provide the lift whenever you needed, so it’s not a problem at tall. The private hot bath was a must try. Dave San would also recommend and arrange ski rentals, lift pass purchase and restaurants as well. Overall a very nice and relaxing stay. Will absolutely return next time.

Absolutely nothing

Wow, everything! Dave san and Iko san made me feel so welcome and I immediately felt at home. They are both the best hosts one can ask for. It's more traditionally Japanese hosting, meaning, it's super clean, super organized and tidy. Breakfast is huge with a lot of choices, with great fresh coffee that will get you started.... Inhouse onsen is a gem, overlooking the forest and mount Yote. I can't wait to return.......... Dave san drives you to the resort in the morning and pick you up in the afternoon. Also, he will drive you to dinner and pick you back when you are finished.

The only downside is the somewhat remote location. Dave will gladly drop you off in the morning and pick you up at the end of the day to and from two resorts, Annupori or Niseko village. Normally it's not a problem, but if the weather is bad and the top lifts are closed, you need to use the local transportation which runs bad and slow.....

The breakfasts were more than enough before a day's skiing, having a warmed boot room was a bonus so we didn't have cold ski boots to get into in the morning, being driven to and picked up from the ski areas was heaven, assistance with lift tickets, ski-hire and ski-lessons was fabulous, shopping at the 711 conveniece store after skiing was a priceless bonus, the onsen after a day's skiing was the heavenly surprise and a real highlight, if you opted to eat in then the dinners were carefully prepared home-style dishes were lovely. This lodge is a hidden jewel and Dave san and his wife are such good people who went way past our expectations to make this the best ski holiday ever!

The bathrooms are small but hey - this is Japan!

We couldn’t have imagined a better stay in Niseko. We felt very cared-for and like we were part of their Japanese family. Dave-san and his wife get to know all the guests by name and ensure that we have a wonderful experience. Every morning, Dave-san drives all the guests to the ski resort and picks us up in the afternoon. He got our high quality ski rentals delivered to our hotel. The Inn is not close to town, but Dave-San drove us to dinner and the 7-Eleven. It was such a special, memorable experience at their hotel, and we will definitely stay again the next time we visit Niseko.

The owner very nice and greet me even i arrived late to this hotel. Explain everything nicely before pass me the room key. Parking available. Room quite big and have private bathroom. Complete with toilet towel & amenities. Have window so that you can see outside view that filled with with powder around this hotel (if you come during winter). Variety of delicious breakfast prepared, just need to inform on nighy before what time you want to eat your breakfast. Just 5 minutes drive to nearby convenience store.

Everything about this hotel was great. Dave and his wife are very kind and accommodating. The sora hot tub was great at the end of a day on the mountain and on a clear day you can enjoy views of Mt Yotei from your room. Dinner was also great.

Even though the location had great views it was a 15min shuttle bus ride from the ski fields. I recommend having your own car if you want to explore restaurants or do first tracks/night skiing

Everything about my stay with Dave-san and his wife was fantastic! If you have come across this as an option for your accomodation, book it! You will not regret it. Especially if you like to be in a peaceful area away from the hustle and bustle. Dave-san runs a shuttle to and from the resorts each day so getting around isn’t an issue. The breakfast is delicious!

Nothing! Everything was great!!

I extended my stay for another day for a total of 6 days. I thoroughly enjoyed my time. Dave san made everything so easy. He recommended a ski rental shop, helped me to purchase the lift pass and every day he dropped me off or picked me up at the ski place. The breakfast every morning was also wonderful. Dave's wife made very tasty meals. And the portion was perfect for me to start a day of high-energy skiing. At the hotel, there is also a washing machine. Clothes would be dry and ready in the evening/the following morning. It was so convenient!
