I sometimes go to hirafu ski area on foot. Free shuttle buses at lawson (4minutes on foot), 1 stop to hirafu gondola. Almost perfect for skiing and budget stay. ##### Wai Kin Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsey 17 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is such a perfect place to stay! It's so clean and well designed (there's a dedicated door to the basement to store wet/snowy gear and a communal kitchen on the top floor 🙂). I found it extremely convenient staying here while snowboarding at Niseko. The owners were so kind and accommodating as well. They stored our luggage here prior to our arrival and stored it for us at the end of our stay which allowed us to get one more day of snowboarding in. As a heads up to others staying, the owners were unable to pick us up nor drop us off in Kutchan when we arrived/left, so make sure to arrange rides for yourselves when you come here because commuting down to Kutchan can be very difficult! I would definitely stay again! (But I would book a taxi 5 days in advance) ##### Kelsey Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zachary 24 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Would visit again.

Although it’s small, it’s enough for a ski trip just to put the luggage and stay outside most of the day. Not far from ski lifts, and the host provides transport to Welcome Centre if required. Easy to hit your head when going downstairs from outside to the ski room. ##### David Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sbyamato, osaka 22 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ホテルの人がとても親切な方でした。 最終日はスキー場まで荷物と一緒に車で送ってくださり、チェックイン時間が23時を過ぎても受け付けてくださり、とても助かりました。 ##### sbyamato Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### りさ, 東京 27 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities オーナーの対応も親切でした お風呂が石で作られてて素敵でした 部屋も清潔でしたし、タオルなどもちゃんと完備されてました ##### りさ Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities おもてなしの 心や、配慮を頂きました^\_^ とても、ウエルカムが、伝わってきて心地よく過ごせることができました ニセコに行くときは又、お世話になりたいとおもいます。ありがとうございました。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith 11 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A+ Friendly staff, clean room and good breakfast. ##### Keith Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good experience ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex, Hong Kong 21 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice Accommodation in Hirafu It was my second time here.

Had a room with 2 single beds and a loft. Loft came in handy to store luggage and clothes. Breakfast was fine and hit the spot every morning. Easy walking distance to restaurants and bus stop which dropped you off to gondola. 3 min trip. The only improvement would be a better drying room. Would recommend for those on a budget and looking for a quite place to relax. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Jeff 9 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness #### Budget priced small room Budget priced rooms. Very small room with very limited space for your clothes and bags. There were 5 coat hangers only and no cupboards/drawers. There was a kids study desk. We ended up storing our suitcases and most of our clothes upstairs in the loft area. When we found extra coat hangers in the kitchen , we ending up hanging our clothes off the stairs & anywhere else we could attach a coat hanger. The WIFI was very slow and sometimes you could not connect at all. The shared kitchen area had a microwave, small fridge & toaster oven (but no standard toaster) - it did have a washing machine & dryer. No cutting knives, we had to ask for one each day to cut bread, there was a coffee table acting as a dining table - We weren't sure if we prepared our own meals that we could use the official dining room downstairs - or if that was for guests who paid for prepared meals. The owner's English language skills made it difficult to even ask basic questions like this. Catching the bus to the ski Gondola etc proved difficult if you wanted to get 1st lifts (8:30am) as the 1st bus only arrived around 8:30 and it did a long loop. We ended up walking each day just so we could get to the ski lifts on time (15 mins carrying skis and walking in ski boots not a lot of fun). ##### Jeff ### 8/10 Good #### Ka Yee 6 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Pension Locomotion is definitely value for the money in Hirafu area. ##### Ka Yee ### 10/10 Excellent #### KAI HIN, Hong Kong 21 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 方便，整潔，店主可以英语溝通 這是個不錯的住宿地方，車程3分鐘就可從住所到 gondola，步行亦可。穿梭巴士有站在路口。日式房屋。1000日圆的早餐在雪場開放前已提供7:30a.m.,超值的早餐。店主同時提供到達及離䦕時的接送。(welcome centre). ##### KAI HIN ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura and Dean, Australia 10 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome little B&B Fantastic place to stay for a ski holiday, the owners are super friendly and will pick you up and drop you off at the Welcome Centre for free when you arrive and leave. The place only has a few rooms so it's very cosy and quiet. In terms of cleanliness everything was spotless including the common kitchen. For breakfast you get a set meal which mostly includes eggs and some type of meat and salad plus unlimited cereal, bread, coffee, tea and juice. It is slightly different each day. The only negative I am pointing out is that for someone who is used to a very soft bed at home the mattress was quite hard. However I would definitely stay there again if we're lucky enough to make it back to Niseko one day. It's only a 10 min walk from the lifts and there is also a shuttle bus available from about a 100m away. ##### Laura and Dean ### 8/10 Good #### Emily 17 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Emily Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Chosei 23 Jun 2023 ##### Chosei Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SAORI 5 May 2023 ##### SAORI Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tenpyo Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Tenpyo-Ryokan.h14844103.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Sheraton-Dubai-Creek-Hotel-Towers.h6394.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in North Berwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Berwick-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-0-d4219--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnstaple Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barnstaple-Hotels-The-Barnstaple-Hotel.h2542175.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel - Paddington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Paddington.h5221423.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Horsham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horsham-Hotels.d6023539.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Nikko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikko-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Nikko.h17903043.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Kings Theatre Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kings-Theatre-Glasgow-Hotels.0-l6129582-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [FERGUS Style Tobago - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calvia-Hotels-FERGUS-Style-Tobago.h1181164.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fukinomori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagiso-Hotels-Hotel-Fukinomori.h34515912.Hotel-Information) > > [Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Suimeikan-Karukaya-Sanso.h16258706.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Memphis at Graceland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Memphis-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Memphis-At-Graceland.h5478.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/yyc/edinburgh-to-calgary) ### Activities ### Packages > [Zakopane Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakopane.d5067.Holidays-City-Breaks) ---
