Atsubetsu Shrine

Loved our stay. The hotel is really close to the ski fields and rental shops. Right in the center of town. It had a little kitchen which was great to make a cup of tea and toast in the morning.

Highly recommend for a stay in Niseko. The place is in great shape and has plenty of space! The company that runs it is very good about communication. We booked our snowboarding thru them and it was very convenient. They also were quick to accommodate some unique needs that we had. A couple things to consider - the lodging is at the bottom of the hill in Grand Hirafu. You can technically walk to the restaurants and to the resort but it can be dangerous if it snows. So definitely get your international driver’s license or download the Go app for taxis. There is a bus system but we often found it overfilled and were waiting long periods of time. Overall, would def stay here again

Hotel Emion Sapporo is a modern, exceptionally clean hotel with excellent facilities and a fantastic breakfast. One of its biggest advantages is the location. The building is connected to Sapporo’s underground pedestrian network, providing convenient access to Sapporo Station, Odori Park, and Susukino without having to deal with rain, snow, or extreme temperatures. The hotel also offers a public bath, though it is somewhat smaller than those at some other hotels I’ve stayed at. I recommend checking the real-time occupancy information on the in-room TV before visiting to avoid peak times. Additional conveniences include a 7-Eleven located on the first floor and paid parking immediately adjacent to the hotel. Guests receive a 500-yen parking discount from the hotel. For those looking to exercise during their stay, a JOYFIT24 gym is located directly across the street. A 30-minute pass costs 660 yen. The sign-up process can be a little confusing since the facility is unstaffed, but printed instructions are available at the entrance. My only notable criticism is the bed firmness. I generally prefer firm mattresses, but these were firmer than I would have liked—almost reminiscent of sleeping on a padded floor. Comfort is subjective, but lighter sleepers may want to keep this in mind. Overall, I would happily stay here again and would especially recommend it to travelers looking for a clean, modern hotel with excellent breakfast and convenient access to central Sapporo.
