Hotel Hakuunso was a wonderful stay, one of our favorite hotels in Japan. It was a perfect mix of traditional Japanese vibe, and modern amenities. It was located so close to the ski lifts and Niseko amenities. We absolutely loved our stay there! We would definitely stay again.

I would stay here again. It’s a small family owned hotel and the staff is wonderful. The place is very clean and quiet. Feels like a home and not a corporate hotel. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic place to stay!
The Niseko Hakuunso was a very nice and quiet spot in a fun and lively area. It was a quick walk to everything we needed such as ski rentals, the gondola and food.
We were very happy with our stay and accomodations and would love to come back.

The space is ambient, excellent staff and breakfast. Super clean and the atmosphere is calming and pleasant.
The only thing that could improve is the bed and pillow. Which are not very comfortable. But if you are tired enough skiing still no problem falling asleep : )

This place checks all the boxes!
Excellent trip to Niseko with great snow and a beautiful place to stay! Staff was super friendly (picked us up at the welcome center and let us check in early), breakfast was delicious, and the location was perfect! It was a perfect mix of east meets west — friendly to westerners but more traditional compared to other options in Niseko.

Great ski stay!
Really fantastic stay. The location is great, right down from the main grand hirafu gondola and the hotel offers free drop off in the morning too. We rented from Grand hirafu annex which included storage but the hotel has ski storage too. There’s a separate men’s and women’s hot tub that’s real nice. Oh and a vending machine with beer and cocktails. The staff is super nice and helpful, overall great trip!

I really loved this hotel and strongly recommend it. The best parts were the hotel indoor onsen and quality of breakfast. I also enjoy the “great room” with amazing view of Mt. Yotai. It’s convenient to the Grand Niseko Gondola with a shuttle every 15 minutes. Skis can be rented across the street at Yama Sport. I slept really well every night.

Highly Recommend Niseko Hakuunso. The staff are wonderful, friendly and really helpful. The property is clean, good sized rooms, has a calm quiet , relaxing atmosphere with awesome views from the dining area. It's perfectly located to the ski condola 250 m away although they provide a great shuttle service to save you walking each morning. 1 mins walk to the hire shops and 5 mins to the main street with restaurants. You couldn't get a more perfect location for such a reasonable price. Breakfast was great too that is provided. We will definitely be back here again
