Niseko Accommodation

Overview

Niseko is globally famous; Japan’s flagship ski resort. As you might expect, it offers world class ski accommodation.

Choosing from ski in / ski out apartments, luxury penthouses, grand ski chalets, family holiday homes, alpine log cabins and bed & breakfast pensions is no easy task.

The abundance of self-catering accommodation options with fewer hotels, Ryokans and pensions sets Niseko apart from most other ski resorts in Japan.

Samurai Snow offers a choice of over 180 accommodations in the Niseko area for groups of all sizes and budget preferences. With this many options to choose from, it can be a little tricky knowing where to start.

We recommend first choosing which village in the Niseko area best matches your preferences and then deciding how close you would like to be to the ski lifts. All other things being equal, accommodations located further away from the ski lifts are priced lower than the ski in / ski out accommodations that everybody wants.

Alternatively, browse our Niseko Collections. These hand curated lists are based on years of feedback from past guests telling us what matters most to them when choosing their Niseko accommodation.

Niseko Accommodation by Village

Niseko is comprised of four areas: Hanazono, Hirafu, Niseko Village and Annupuri, each with a ski area and village at the base. The ski areas are separate at the bottom with out-of-bounds areas not suitable for skiing but all join together at the top of the mountain. You can take the ski lifts to the top and ski down to the base of any of the four areas. Each village is a short drive from its neighbour and they are all connected via the Niseko United shuttle bus.

When deciding which village in the Niseko area is the best fit for you, consider the ski area that best matches your group's ability levels and preferences as well as the village where you would like to spend the most time.

Niseko Accommodation by type

You can find every type of accommodation in Niseko to suit your tastes, budget preference and group size.

Niseko Accommodation by number of bedrooms

If you pretty much know your group size and the number of bedrooms you are going to need, you can browse our range accordingly.

If you have children in your group, bear in mind that a fair few Niseko chalets and apartments have a bedroom with one or two sets of bunk beds. So, you might need one less bedroom than you think. Some of these bunk beds are pretty large and comfy enough for adults.
