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.

First time to Niseko and staying at Hakuuso. Great services from hotel staffs cos we had many quires and they were always there to assist us. Rooms were spacious and clean. We requested connecting room but they do not have it, however they
Excellent location, facilities and service. Will be staying here again if I ever come back to Niseko. Was a wonderful hotel, with a beautiful view from my room.
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.
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.
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
This is a little undiscovered gem in Hirafu. Family hotel that first opened in 1960 and still run by the family. They were wonderful, so helpful with recommendations for local restaurants and events. Shuttle from hirafu welcome centre and up to the gondola in the morning for skiing. The onsen was beautiful and I was the only one in there on the 2 occasions I went. It’s very central 5/10 mins walk to town and up to the lifts/welcome centre. Thank you to all the staff at Niseko Akuunso!
We loved the Japanese hospitality! The folks that work there are awesome! The property was well thought out with ski storage and drying room, even a wax room! The onsen and laundry were nice surprises. Breakfast was delicious with lots of variety each day. We loved the toilet slippers and bidet. The beds and duvet were super comfortable! We felt like rockstars getting a lift to the hill everyday even though Grand Hirafu gondola is only a 5 minute walk. The hotel location is great! Thank you Hakuunso for making our vacation unforgettable! Betty, John, and Jackson
Can't say enough good things about this place!
First, you can't beat the location. About a 5 min walk to the Grand Hirafu ski area (which is also a stop for the Niseko United shuttle to other ski areas), the Hirafu welcome center, Rhythm ski rentals, the village "downtown", etc.
The room was very spacious and very clean. The breakfast spread was amazing, with both western and japanese options. Lots of onsite conveniences like snacks & a coffee machine, a microwave, an onsen, a free laundry, boot drying & ski storage rooms, etc.
The hospitality was excellent, and the couple running the hotel was always willing to help with anything. They will also drop you off at the Grand Hirafu resort or the welcome center (and also pick you up from the welcome center when you first arrive).
Highly recommend this hotel if you're visiting Niseko, especially if you plan to ski Hirafu and/or check out the Hirafu village.
If you’re headed to Niseko to ski, this is absolutely the hotel you want to book. The hotel is so cute, well organized, and the staff are so nice and helpful. The other hotels in the area feel very corporate and sterile, but this hotel is warm, inviting and stood out as a family run place. It’s an easy 5 min walk to Grand Hirafu. The hotel does provide a free shuttle in the morning to Grand Hirafu if you don’t want to walk. The hotel is also an easy 10 min walk to restaurants, bars and the main downtown area of Hirafu. This hotel is also very close to Rhythm, the main ski rental shop. The rooms are large, very clean, comfortable and quiet. The free breakfast was great and the hotel sets out tea cakes/cookies, coffee and tea in the afternoon. Really can’t recommend this hotel enough. I will be staying here again the next time I’m back. Ten outta ten!
