This ryokan was wonderful. The service was excellent and location to Niseko Annapuri was a bonus. First the ryokan. Positives were the large onsen, attentive staff and cleanliness of the hotel. The Kaiseki was delicious with a good variety. In comparison to other kaiseki menus we had in Hokkaido, this was tops for us. Only negatives was the rooms were a bit dated. "Shared bathroom" means the room had a toilet and sink, but now shower. But then again there was the great onsen. The website said the hotel was "ski in, ski out", but i think that was slightly misleading as you had to walk about 5 min to get to the gondola station and to the ticket office. You would definitely have to do some creative off piste skiing to find the hotel. Overall, I would easily stay at this lovely ryokan again.
