Kutchan Hotels with Bars

The location is fantastic for skiers, as it's right in front of the ski lift. Since I visited in the summer, being on a hill made it a bit difficult to walk around and explore the surroundings (you have to walk up a long hill to get back to the hotel). It's pretty much at the very top of the Niseko Resort complex. As it was the off-season, there wasn't much to do nearby, but the hotel facilities and services were great for a relaxing and healing stay. The Yotei-san view room was an added bonus. The public onsen wasn't huge, but it had everything I needed, was clean, and wasn't crowded, so I went every day. The best part was the breakfast! All the ingredients were fresh, and the fruits changed daily and were all delicious. While there wasn't a huge variety, each dish felt carefully prepared. Parking was a bit expensive as it included valet service, but it was convenient. All the staff members were incredibly friendly. I saw two Korean staff members, and there was also a Japanese staff member who spoke Korean. Overall, it seems like the perfect accommodation for a ski trip.

The hotel has a paid parking lot, but there's a free one right next door, though its usage rules might change seasonally. We really appreciated that they helped take our luggage to the room while we were checking in. Our room had a clear view of Mt. Yotei, a living room, and a kitchen, making it incredibly comfortable. It was convenient to drive to a nearby convenience store for groceries to cook. You can also find restaurants by car, but they might be a bit pricier, and options could be limited during the summer. The hotel offers private onsen reservations via a tab in the room; you can rebook after your session, but it's best to reserve early as they fill up quickly. There are public onsen available too. Breakfast was very generous, and the restaurant also offers a beautiful view of Mt. Yotei.
