Situated just 10 km from Hirafu Station, Pension Cotton Farm provides accommodation in Niseko with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as luggage storage space.

I originally booked Pension Cotton Farm just as a convenient place near the ski resort, but it turned out to be so much more—I felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and happiness during my stay! The host is a friendly and cheerful woman who made my solo trip feel less lonely. She often chatted with me, sharing stories about her interests, work, and the local culture, making me feel completely at home. Her mother plays the piano in the lounge, her father crafts fishing tools in the workshop, and her sweet grandmother greets guests every morning with a gentle voice—small gestures that create a truly heartwarming atmosphere. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, especially the homemade fruit jam—I loved it so much that I even bought two jars to bring back to Taiwan! Their home-made fruit wine was also fantastic. I regret not trying more flavors—I should have had two different ones every day! The entire place is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, which is impressive for a wooden house. The bathroom was bright, pristine, and filled with Japanese charm, making my stay even more enjoyable.

Set 34 km from Hirafu Station, 600 metres from Kida Kinjiro Museum of Art and 1.1 km from Kiko-in Temple, 民宿 渡辺 features accommodation situated in Iwanai.

The host was extremely kind and prepared a special "chawanmushi" for me. I was very touched by her kindness and the extra touches to make me feel at home. Kitchen was VERY well organized!

Boasting mountain views, A Private Retreat-Niseko GURUGULU offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 9.1 km from Hirafu Station.

I’ve stayed in many places in Hokkaido, Gurugulu is by far the best. Amazing space, very warm and welcoming. Very friendly couple running the lodge. Incredible, peaceful scenery.

Featuring 3-star accommodation, Grandpapa is situated in Kutchan, 4.3 km from Hirafu Station and 4.7 km from Hirafu Golf Center.

The atmosphere was great, I travelled with a partner and we met others to go skiing with. The building resembles a euro style ski chalet. We had one of the rooms with an ensuite bathroom which was nice, however i believe most rooms rely on shared facilities. The staff were exceptionally friendly and from multiple countries. The location is great as far as access to restaraunts and bars. But perhaps too far to walk to the ski lifts for most poeple's preference. There was also a car parking spot available for us. But note they appear to have only six or so spaces available.
