Independent Utasutsu hotels

"The staff are simply amazing "

"Very spacious, the staff are beyond wonderful. Onsen at the end of the day is just a fantastic treat. Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful view from the dining room"

"Great staff! Clean and accommodating! Great location walking distance to slopes and bus station! Convenient delicious breakfast! "

"Staff is amazing. Food was fantastic and fresh. Everywhere was clean. I added a 90 min massage and would do again. Onsen was beautiful and peaceful. I will be booking here again. "

"The hotel is dated; however, the outdoor onsen is a great experience. Mr. Y. Onimaru at the Front Desk was very friendly and provided excellence customer services during our stay. The breakfast is a combination of Japanese and western style. It is very yummy. Our original booking was a traditional Japanese room but found out there is no shower/bathing area inside the room which was unexpected. Ms. Sato at the Front Desk helped and moved us to a Japanese/Western room the next day so we had our own shower area and were able to experience sleeping on the tatami. The hotel provides shuttle services to 3 different ski resorts; however, the schedule to and back from Hirafu is very limited (even during peak season). They should consider providing shuttle services the same schedule as going to Annipuli during peak season. Need to take a taxi from Niseko Village back after dinner. It costs USD $40-50 each time. May stay again because of the onsen and breakfast."

"Nice modern rooms - great location - self check-in worked great. I had ski stuff shipped and staff was responsive by email to help with coordination. "

"The outdoor bath was incredibly relaxing, the staff was welcoming and polite, and I would definitely stay here again"

"Rooms were very nice and clean, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Food was great, breakfast was great and a bit different every day. Very close to everything but also away from the busy tourist spot. "
