Bistare Kana Lodge & Restaurant — Restaurant in Niseko

Lovely pension, great place to relax after a day of skiing.||||Private rooms, shared bathroom, very warm, inviting, relaxed atmosphere. Don't expect a hotel, but more of a community atmosphere. ||||Breakfast included, free internet available on-site.||||The hearty breakfasts served at 8AM generally filled us up enough to only stop for light lunches during the day. Yama-san also gives a daily snow report each morning during breakfast, and also gave us a great recommendation for a spot to check out on Annupuri to catch some good scenery, even though the days we were visiting didn't get much fresh powder.||||We also enjoyed the dinner one evening (Yama-san operates a Nepali restaurant for a few hours in the early evening, its worth stopping by if you enjoy whats on the menu).||||There is a nice onsen just down the road (walking distance), ask about a discount - in general, Yama-san will help you find whatever it is you're looking for in Niseko, including transportation in the mornings to Annupuri.||||Parking is available on-site as well.||||Note that this property is not suitable for children, but great for friends, couples, or...

We stayed in this Pension during the 2013 Christmas time for skiing in Niseko Annupuri Ski Resort. Family of four with two teenage daughters, so we had two separate rooms. The Pension owner Yamano-san was so friendly and helpful to us during our entire stay. A wealth of knowledge on the area and bent over backwards to help us out.||||The Pension has a Nepal theme throughout the place including the very delicious Nepal Curry they feature for dinner. Wood fireplace downstairs in the main room. Very cozy to sit around after the days skiing and dinner.||||The ski storage / drying area was set right as you come in the front door, so very convenient both coming in and leaving with the ski equipment.||||The powder snow in this area was incredible. If we make it back to Niseko for skiing we'll definately consider...
