This was our first-ever trip to the Niseko area, and we could not have found a better place to stay if we tried! The hosts were absolutely lovely, friendly and very patient with our limited Japanese. They have been running this inn for over 25 years and know everything about the area. The meals they cooked for us were delicious, and among the best we had during our entire trip to Japan. The rooms were warm and comfortable, and everything was spotless. Many of the other guests staying at the inn during our visit have been coming here for 10 years or more! The fact that so many people return year after year really speaks to the home-like quality that these hosts have been able to achieve here. We hope to return soon!
