Niseko Ski Lodge - Higashiyama

Near Niseko Village, staff is nice, room was clean, ski room was helpful, baths/showers were nice.

All staff are so helpful and friendly. My favourite spot is the dining area. It’s so comfy and welcoming. Milk factory is the great place to eat special pizza, past and dessert. Less 10mins walk. The bus stop is just around the corner so easy to access to the each mountain. I highly recommend this lodge if you are looking for somewhere cozy and relaxing. We definitely want to come back here!! Thank you for having us.

The Niseko Ski Lodge lives up to its name--a rustic ski lodge. The staff were super friendly, and international. Upstairs rooms mostly share a bath, but we had a room with a private bath. The pre-fab bathroom was tiny and weirdly placed with a ~10" step up. Room size was good, but it was stiflingly hot with the radiator heat. We were unable to turn it down enough to get a comfortable temperature without opening the windows. Getting to Niseko Village gondola base (not the main base by the Hilton) was a trek--15 mins. I carried my skis and boots to make it more reasonable to walk. Bus is a 5-minute walk, but infrequent enough that walking was preferable. Food was adequate--not particularly good or much variety, but OK.

Super friendly staff made the stay exceptional, just like staying at a friends house. Highly recommended. All Niseko resorts a short drive away if you bring a car.

Property was a short walk to the niseko bus line, lots of parking for our rental gear, washer and dryer was great, and breakfast abs company lovely!
