Niseko Prince Hotel Hirafutei

The room was clean and comfortable, and the facilities were comprehensive. It's a true ski-in/ski-out hotel. You exit through the back, and you're right on the Hirafu beginner slope. You can take the gondola up, which connects to the summit lift.

This is the best choice for solo travelers looking for a quick in-and-out stay. Although it's been open for a while, the facilities and hot spring quality are still above the average for Japanese hotels. Do note that rooms are not cleaned daily, and the connecting staircase between the first floor and the family course is quite long, so please be careful.

This is probably the cheapest ski-in/ski-out hotel in Niseko, and ski-in/ski-out is truly essential! Carrying ski boards uphill is just too tiring. Plus, there's a hot spring on the first floor of the hotel, which feels amazing.

For Niseko, where every inch of land is precious, this hotel offers great value for money during ski season. It's right next to the Hirafu slopes, making ski-in/ski-out super convenient for a multi-day stay. The bathroom is tiny, and once the futons are laid out, there's barely any room to walk. The only downside is that breakfast ends at 9 AM, which isn't ideal for late sleepers.

Great location for a ski-in/ski-out hotel, and it has hot springs! It's super refreshing to soak in the hot springs after skiing. The only downside is there's a short flight of stairs to get to the slopes. Also, if you stay multiple nights, they don't clean the room daily.

The location is fantastic, and it comes with breakfast and a hot spring. You can just ski right out of the hotel. The only downside is that the hotel is a bit old, but the price is great, offering excellent value for money. It's also very close to the supermarket.
