The Experience

Hey, I’m Masahiro, 34, born and raised right here in Niseko. After quitting my job in banking, I traveled the world volunteering, and now I’ve returned to take over my family’s accommodation business with a fresh, fun twist! I'm building a unique, cool hub for adventurers like you. We're right in front of a ski lift, so if you're dreaming of shredding the legendary Niseko powder snow every day, this is the place to be. 🌨️

My experience at the hotel was amazing. Even if it was not peak season for a ski ressort I had a lot of fun and I enjoyed staying there with the staff. Helping around the house was fun and everything was respected. Ram-san and Gurung-san were very welcoming and managed to keep us occupied during the day. Thank you very much for the experience (:

This stay was one for the record books. Great area during spring. Wonderful people, fantastic the hotel to call home for my month here. Lots of activities to do on your off time. 3 squared meals a day without fail. Climbing up Annupuri was magical and then to go snowboarding was awesome. Special thanks to Ram-san, best brother out there!
