The room walls are thin, there was only 1 other guest when I was staying and I knew when he went to the bathroom, my room was next to the men's toilet. The noise didn't wake me, but awake, I could hear it. There is no parking and there is only 10 - 15 spaces at the train station. On the second night of my stay I had to park elsewhere. I wouldn't drive here.

Beautifully decorated guesthouse in a well renovated Japanese house. The common areas are cosy and livable . The room was well designed and came with it's own sink and lots of luggage space. The bed was firm and very comfortable, the pillow was super soft. There is a fully equipped kitchen and smart TV in the living room.

Bathroom was a little small but the shower has good power and water temperature.

It is super clean with comfortable room and beds. We are lucky that we got it to ourselves as nobody else was staying at the time.

The transport to the ski area is not ideal

Very clean room near a bus station and some bars

Japanese houses are very basic construction and the lack of soundproofing is a minor challenge if the person in the room next to you snores like an elephant!

I was travelling over 2 weeks, skiing in the day and working in the evening thanks to the 9 hour time difference. The location is a 5 minute walk to the bus stop to get up to the Grand Hirafu Welcome centre and the Ace Gondola so close enough to everything you need, but in a quiet side street. Facilities are excellent, including the washer dryer, this is the first ski trip I am not taking home dirty laundry! The room was excellent, clean and comfortable, and once I had got used to the Japanese heating systems in the property I had a very comfortable stay. Kutchan has some great bars and restuarants, and the prices are much better than in the main resorts of Niseko.

There was parking; however, the instructions provided for parking were wrong. Additionally, the parking provided was only available to two cars, in conjunction with the snow plow parked there. Due to the number of residents living at the property during our stay, there were more cars than the number of parkings allotted.

The stay was relatively cheap compared to other places.

This place is the best, great value, spotless like new building, great kitchen, sinks in the rooms, free laundry, good location to town and quiet. Why would you stay anywhere else ? I also got to meet the owner, very engaged and doing everything they can to make sure guests have a great stay. This is THE place to stay in Kutchan !!

There are no staff at the property so there is no one to discuss recommendations/ getting around town. If you want to leave Kutchan to see the rest of Niseko it can be difficult if you don’t have a car - there are limited buses in summer.

This was very(!) comfortable accommodation! My room was beautiful and clean, and you get your room to yourself. The aircon was great in summer. Kitchen facilities and common areas were great and also very clean. It is located in the cute town of Kutchan, and it easy to walk around the town.

Nothing

The house is spacious, clean and comfortable. There are no staff on-site besides people coming in to clean, but the key system worked like clockwork and I didn't have any issues. The washing machine is a plus, and the kitchen has plenty of appliances and cooking tools. This would be a good place to rent out as a big group.

Comfortable stay in Kutchan. Quick walk to the bus stop and about a 20min bus ride to Niseko. Comfy and clean rooms.

No room for food in the small fridge.

Very cosy.

We had challenges with sharing a small fridge, but this is Japan, everything is an small. Rubbish sorting was confusing and the bins needed emptying every day as we all cooked.

This is an amazing place to stay and ski from. The other guests were awesome and we pulled together to share this gorgeous space. Highly recommended! Kitchen is lovely and the dining/living room is spacious and comfortable. Very responsive host, attended to everything very quickly. I asked for clean linen after a week and it arrived same day.

Niseko powder chalet was lovely and one of the biggest rooms we stayed in on the island of Hokkaido! We loved how well organized everything was and how much privacy we got among the other guests.
