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.

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.

SLOPE features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Kutchan, 8.7 km from Hirafu Station.

We really enjoyed our stay at Slope. The room was spacious and everything in the building was extremely well thought through with amazing attention to detail. It felt like a home away from home and was warm and cozy after a big day in the snow. The facilities were exceptionally clean, and Keni the owner was a wonderful host. He gave us great restaurant recommendations, drove us to the nearby ski slopes for free, and even drove us to our next destination about an hour away (for a very reasonable fee) after we realised the public transport there wasn't going to work out. I would stay here again myself and would absolutely recommend others to stay here too.

    - 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.

    We had an amazing stay here. Riyo is a great host and went out of his way for us multiple times. Pick ups from the train station and morning shuttles to Mt Hirafu made things so easy. The dorm rooms are the most spacious I have had and they are super private and warm. The common areas are clean and inviting. You feel at home the moment you walk in. The kitchen has everything you need and the effort Riyo puts in for cleanliness doesn't go unnoticed. Highly recommend this place.
