The staff went above and beyond to help us on our check-in and check-out days as we stayed during off season with no car, we felt super welcomed. The condo was much larger than we expected (for Japanese standards), and we loved that it had a stocked kitchen and in-unit laundry. The smart TV was also a perk. Cute little restaurant just around the corner, beautiful Mountain View’s from all windows, and the local bus stop about a block away. Even better, the Takahashi Dairy milk KOBO was only about a ten minute walk and they have THE BEST ice cream we have probably had in our lives, you’ve gotta check it out.

The rooms are very clean and the laundry is next level; there is a washer AND dryer as one unit in each room so you can put your things in overnight while you sleep and they are clean for the next day! If you want to cook there is a full on kitchen, dishes, stove and fridge in each room as well and Apple TV and good Wi-Fi - anything you could need really The staff really do go above and beyond. They picked us up from our airport shuttle drop off and they would take us to the mountain every day we needed! They are so accommodating Not only that, they actually let us store luggage after we checked out for the day until our next rental came up and they even dropped us with our luggage off at our next rental location. Seriously the best experience and service I’ve ever had from a stay facility. Very fair pricing- probably the best pricing in this town, and I think I will stay here each year now. Also if you like dogs they have a couple very sweet small dogs in the office. Please help this business thrive everyone; they are really the best.

We loved our stay at SnowDog. The staff was so kind, responsive, and helped us to book ski passes, ski rentals, ski lessons, transportation, and dining during our 5 day stay. It was so nice to have a kitchen set up in our suite, and ski storage and life shuttle service, for such a great price. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

Fantastic, wonderful staff!! Would love to have an outdoor hot tub, but if it needs/preferred to be solar powered I know it is challenging in the winter. Possibly a welcome beverage in the room and a small selection of tea/coffee for the first day before we had a chance to go shopping?

The room was perfect for my snowboarding trip. Comfortable bed, great shower, and the kitchenette and washer / dryer in unit were perfect. Staff was communicative and very helpful. There is not much around the area as far as stores or restaurants, and transportation without a car requires some planning.

Snow Dog was the best choice that I made for Niseko. We had a really nice condo having one queen bed room, one bathroom, and one living room with a kichen. They have a free shuttle to Hilton and Hirafu every hour, as well as ski equipment store area! Highly recommended!

Definitely A Yes!
It was a comfortable stay with everything provided for in the apartment. A little tight for 5 but manageable for a short stay. We had 2 bedrooms to fit 4 comfortably and the 5th person was on the sofa bed which took up the entire living room space. The limited movement space was compensated by the excellent service. We felt very welcomed right from the beginning when we were greeted by Mike and he also popped in on our last day instead of us going to the reception for check out. And we just passed him the keys. Small but thoughtful gesture.

Overall the quality of the accommodation was excellent. We are a family of 4 and the 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for our needs. Shuttle bus was efficient and easy to catch and staff were very friendly. We were on the 3rd floor of block A and a ground floor drying room for our gear would have made it perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have no hesitation to recommend to family and friends.
