    I loved everything about the place~ The owner, Ryo san, was super kind and helpful~ He drove me to the hiking trail 3:30 in the morning! And he also offered to take my bike in his car to the trailhead, so I could cycle around after my hike~ The sleeping area was spacious and well designed~ lots of storage space! The common area was comfortable to relax in too~~ I’ll definitely come back again!

    Good facilities and near Kutchan station. The best part was Ryo-san, who drove us to and from Mt. Yotei and gave us recommendations for dinner.

    Perfect place to stay before and after hiking, 5 min away from the station, really good view from the lounge and it was the perfect temperature at night to rest, around end of June, after hiking mount Yotei. The owner is such a nice guy, knowledgeable about hiking too, he drove me to the trailhead in the morning ! The bed were confortable and clean, like everything else in this place.

    The host is the nicest man you'll ever meet. The price is really good for the size of the bed you get and the communal space is amazing, allowing you to cook food and hang out. And not to mention the free shuttle every morning to niseko united. I wouldn't stay anywher

    I loved everything about the place! Nice location, as it's close to the train station, a convenience store, and a supermarket. There's also a small (and very affordable) ski resort nearby that is perfect for beginner skiers/snowboarders who want to do some practice runs before trying the pricier resorts in Niseko. The place was kept clean by the host (Ryo-san), who was simply great. He made the atmosphere so relaxed and welcoming for everyone that it didn't feel like I was among strangers. Wouldn't hesitate to book this place again if I'm ever back in the area.

    Shared space can be noisy in the morning and evening, but guests respect always the quiet hours

    Lovely guesthouse in a nice and peaceful environment, but close to eateries and public transport. The shining star is host Ryo San, he is warm person and he makes you feel welcome

    Nothing bad to say It's a great place Go there!

    Rio san!!! ありがとうございます!!! This place is really amazing Very beautiful, with a view to mount Yotei, tatami mattress in the rooms, a comfortable bed, and comfortable shared space which includes a kitchen with everything you'll need and even a cultural tatami salon. very clean too! The place is really close to the train and bus station (a nice short walk), which makes it easy if you don't have a car. Also, the nighboring house is a sake distillery! I stayed in the shared room and it was great 😁 But non of the above compares to the amazing hospitality of the owner, Rio, who actually does everything for the best of his guests!!! You are an amazing person and your treatment made my staying superb! Thank you very very much

    The only negative thing is the pillow, in my opinion, very hard.

    I loved this hostel! It was very clean, the staff was nice and friendly and the space of the bed is huge! Very quiet for summer season I guess, but in that moment It was what I needed.

    Ryo was an amazing host. He shuttled us to the mountain every day and was a great help. Although the property is so conveniently close to the train station, my friend and I still managed to almost miss our train to Sapporo… Ryo saved the day and drove us to the train station, carried both of our massive luggage bags up to the ticket booth, and helped us buy tickets just in time!

    - Property is a 5 minute walk from kutchan Station, 3 minute walk from a supermarket, so you can cook and prepare food as you like. - The views around the property are gorgeous. - There is also a free shuttle every morning to the slopes. - The place is clean and has a homey vibe. - manager Ryo-san is an asset to this place, he is an expert on the area and a great host. I highly recommend this place to anyone who comes to niseko/kutchan, whatever the season.
