2025 Kutchan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#2024 Travel Review Park Hyatt Niseko is a very luxurious and high-end hotel in Niseko, with a very new cluster of elegant taste and very large public spaces and rooms. It's hard to find a room during the ski season, and it's occupied by celebrities. Very well staffed, during breakfast hours, and when picking up ski equipment, fully felt. When there are fireworks, basically every room is looking at the snow field, guaranteed to have fireworks to see! If you don't have a self-drive, the hotel has a shuttle to New Chitose Airport, which charges about 10,000 for a two-and-a-half-hour drive. Upscale apartment-type hotel rooms are fully equipped with appliances, kitchenware, and washing machines, suitable for travelers who are present throughout the snow season. The master bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows with unbeatable snow views, and Japanese-style baths. You can arrange ski rental, ski lesson booking services, no hassle. There are 6 restaurants and bars in the hotel. You can easily enjoy the food when you get downstairs without going out on snowy days. It's not too expensive.

This is a place called 'Green Farm Cafe & Deli' located in Niseko, Hokkaido. 📍190-4 Yamada, Kutchan-cho, Abuta-gun, Hokkaido The restaurant offers international cuisine, and most of the customers are foreigners, creating an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're abroad. The prices are on the higher side, but the food is delicious, and the space is very comfortable and relaxing, making it a very satisfying experience. ✔︎Sandwich ✔︎Fish & Chips were ordered. We sat by the window and enjoyed a lunch while taking in the snowy landscape outside through the large windows!!

The first floor has two double beds, a TV, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom, and the second floor has a sofa bed and a TV, tableware, a simple kitchen, a capsule coffee machine, and a BALMUDA range, so I made coffee in my room☕️ 🥪Breakfast A luxurious American breakfast that changes with the season. This time, I chose eggs Benedict out of the three main dishes (eggs Benedict/omelette/scrambled eggs). The sauce was sour and rich, and very delicious. In the summer, you can have a BBQ using Niseko ingredients. Rafting, mountain climbing, trekking, canoeing, etc. In the winter, you can stay surrounded by powder snow. I can see why so many foreign tourists visit throughout the year 🇯🇵 Next time, I'll definitely come back in the middle of winter to experience that excitement.

#2月好地方2025 Most of the food in Niseko is quite expensive. Not many choices and long queues After skiing, I usually just want to eat and rest quickly. When I went to Lawson to buy something I happened to see this newly opened ramen shop. The appearance is very magical and unreal. The entrance is on the side so you need to go around it Barbecued pork ramen with egg 1 bowl 2000¥ The price is very impressive considering the Niseko snow season. The soup is thick but not too salty Highly recommended Arrived at almost 8pm and didn't have to queue at all There is a parking lot and a snowboard rack. It is said that if you eat there at noon, the scenery is very good. Unfortunately, there is not enough time this time Only dinner

#2月好去2025 Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono is located in the Hanazono ski area in Niseko, Hokkaido. It is a high-end resort that combines luxury vacation, skiing experience and natural beauty. It has a magnificent view of Mt. Yotei and is covered with dreamy powder snow (Japow) in winter, so even ski beginners can enjoy a great experience! Park Hyatt provides a one-stop skiing experience, whether it is private skiing lessons, ski equipment rental, ski-in/ski-out, or hot spring relaxation and Michelin cuisine after skiing, all can be completed here in one stop, suitable for beginners and ski enthusiasts. If it is your first time skiing, you can choose a ski school that cooperates with the hotel and experience the fun of skiing on the soft and delicate snow trails under the guidance of professional coaches! After skiing, return to the hotel to enjoy natural hot springs, Japanese kaiseki cuisine, exquisite desserts and coffee with snow scenery, making the journey more leisurely and comfortable. 📍 Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono 🚇 Transportation: Take a direct bus from New Chitose Airport for about 2.5 hours 🕰 Ski season: November to May (depending on the snowfall) ✨ Recommended experiences: skiing beginner course, snow-capped hot springs, French-Japanese cuisine, nighttime snow-capped walks

Hey friends! Still struggling to find the perfect ski resort? Niseko, Hokkaido, is your ultimate destination! Composed of four major ski areas, it boasts soft powder snow, diverse slopes, and breathtaking views of the majestic Mount Yōtei. Plus, the facilities are top-notch. Without further ado, let's dive into this comprehensive guide! Four Unique Ski Areas 1. Hirafu Ski Resort: As Niseko's most famous and largest ski area, Hirafu caters to skiers of all levels. The snow quality is superb, and the rental equipment is excellent. We highly recommend booking lift tickets and equipment online in advance to enjoy discounts. The area offers a wide variety of dining options, although the cable cars are a bit basic, but that doesn't detract from the skiing experience. 2. Niseko Village Ski Resort: A hidden gem! Located near Mount Yōtei, the scenery is simply breathtaking. There are plenty of beginner-friendly tree runs, and the slopes are less crowded, making for a fantastic skiing experience. The ski resort lobby is located within the Hilton hotel, adding a touch of luxury. The cable cars are large and spacious, and you can relax at the hotel after a day on the slopes. 3. Annupuri Ski Resort: This resort is perfect for beginners, with numerous wide, beginner and intermediate slopes, often referred to as "big white slopes." However, it can get a bit crowded, and the rental equipment is somewhat clunky. The food here is quite good, offering a delightful culinary experience alongside the skiing. 4. Hanazono Resort: Although I haven't personally skied here, you can access it with a Hirafu lift ticket. It's said that the cable cars and yurts here are LV-branded, making it a great challenge for intermediate and advanced skiers. Lift Tickets and Ski Area Access You can purchase individual lift tickets for each ski area, or opt for an all-mountain pass or a combined ticket (including day passes, hourly passes, and point cards) based on your needs. Single-day lift tickets cost around RMB 300+, and ski rentals are also around RMB 300+. The ski areas generally operate until around 7:30 pm. You can ski from one peak to another or take the shuttle bus between ski areas, but you might need to carry your skis for a short distance. Therefore, we recommend focusing on one ski area per day to fully enjoy the experience. Three-Day Itinerary Suggestion DAY 1: Depart from Sapporo for Hirafu Ski Resort and experience the powder snow. Enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants in the area. DAY 2: Spend the morning at Annupuri Ski Resort on the beginner-friendly slopes, and then head to Niseko Village in the afternoon to admire the stunning views of Mount Yōtei. DAY 3: Depart from Kutchan for Otaru to soak in the romantic atmosphere, and then return to Sapporo, concluding your delightful ski trip. Transportation and Accommodation The journey from Sapporo Station to Otaru Station and then to Kutchan Station takes approximately 3 hours. From Kutchan, you can transfer to a bus to reach the ski resorts. Some hotels also offer shuttle services. Trains from Otaru to Kutchan are infrequent and crowded, so you might have to stand for the entire journey. We highly recommend Niseko Grand Hotel for accommodation. Even during the peak Lunar New Year period, when hotels are expensive and hard to book, this hotel offers rooms for just RMB 1200+. The rooms are newly renovated, the environment is fantastic, and there's an open-air onsen (even a mixed-gender one!). The hotel provides free shuttle service to and from the station, a bus to the ski resorts, and a delicious breakfast, offering exceptional value for money! The nearby Dwarf Restaurant is a popular spot with a unique atmosphere, definitely worth checking out. So, are you ready to embark on your ski adventure in Niseko? Start planning now!

📍 Itinerary Overview 🚩 Sightseeing Route 🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions 🚇 Transportation 📷 Photo Spots 🍜 Local Cuisine 🏠 Accommodation 💡 Tips I went to Niseko ski resort and had really yummy Hokkaido crab and went snowboarding with my friends!

#hokkaido #snow Nothing beats the rush of carving fresh lines on the slopes!

#japantrip Hotel delivered the top notch hospitality quality that is expected of a Park Hyatt. our suite was spacious and well designed. had a wonderful view of the forest and the mountains range from afar but the immediate view of a construction site was not ideal. hope they will build something nice to look at. we had tasty dinner 3 nights in a row at the lounge, took advantage of great valued deals at happy hours, used the onsen daily,good job hyatt

#getgoing2025 Gran Hirafu is the largest of all the mountains in Niseko. The 22 diverse courses will satisfy any level. Speaking of Niseko, powder snow is famous. You can slide on high-quality powder snow, which represents Japan, on the non-pressure snow course. You can see Mt. Yotei from the slopes, and it is a luxurious ski resort where you can enjoy both its superb view and powder snow at the same time. Night business is also well-equipped, and you can skate long distances even at night. Don't forget to check the Niseko rules in advance to enjoy powder snow.

Escarpment House is carefully designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, offering stunning views of the surrounding fields, forests, and majestic Mount Yotei. It can accommodate up to 8 guests. While enjoying its secluded feel, the cabin is conveniently located just a few hundred meters from various dining options. Here, you'll find the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and convenience. In Hokkaido's wonderful and unique seasons, you can enjoy the winter "snow monsters," while in summer, you can witness the shimmering sunlight through the leaves.

Nature getaway 😌

Finally booked the legendary Zaborin half a year in advance There are not many hotels near the ski resort that have Michelin three-star kaiseki, private hot springs with snow views, only 15 suites, and the best view of Mount Yotei. After checking in, I found that these titles even underestimated the hotel, so I recommend it. Address: 3 hours' drive from Otaru, a bit far, but there is a shuttle service for guests taking the JR train. The nearest convenience store is a 15-minute drive away. Food: The dinner ingredients are fresh, and the cooking style is very novel. The combination of various local ingredients and seasonings gives the taste buds a little explosion, including but not limited to ginseng and birch tea. It can be seen that the chef's skills are as good as Mount Yotei. The breakfast is Japanese style, light and not greasy, without the heavy seasoning used in dinner, returning to simplicity, like mountain snow. It is worth mentioning that breakfast is served in a snow-view room. Who can refuse the strong contrast between the heavy snow outside the window and the warmth inside? Room: There are two private hot springs in the room, one indoor and one outdoor. The indoor one is a traditional Japanese square wooden structure, and the outdoor one is either Western or Japanese style. The outdoor hot spring in the Japanese room is also a square wooden structure, while the outdoor hot spring in the Western room is more stylish, built with stones. The coldness complements the hot spring, and it is very photogenic. The bed faces the snow view, and there is a snow-view sofa and underfloor heating all day long. Other hotel facilities: There is a cigar room, wine cellar, reading area, bar, etc. Small but complete. Price: About 14,000–20,000 for two people, depending on the season (price per person). I highly recommend you try it if you can book it. A unique experience.

| A Luxury Trip to Powder Snow Paradise. ❄️ Park Hyatt Niseko, which opened in 2020, has been a hit online. I finally checked in this February! On the way from Sapporo to Hakodate, I stayed for two nights, and it was an amazing vacation experience, perfect for lazy beginners! Smooth Powder Snow, Ultimate Convenience 🎿 The hotel's ski facilities are amazing! Ski equipment and clothing rental, and cable car ticket vending machines are available. The cable car is just a few steps from the back door, and you can start skiing within an hour of checking in. There is a dedicated ski equipment locker in the room, and the staff will help you with your ski equipment, giving you a VIP treatment. The hotel is beginner-friendly, and the nearest cable car offers night skiing. You can ski down the mountain during the day, and the view of Mount Yotei is stunning on sunny days. Don't worry if the cable car stops in the afternoon, as there is a free shuttle bus back to the hotel. Hotel Exploration, Comfort Upgrade 🏨 The hotel is divided into hotel and residence. I stayed in the residence, which is simple and modern, with a kitchen, laundry and drying facilities, and a large wardrobe. The hot spring is amazing, with separate male and female baths and a pool, where you can soak while enjoying the snow. There is music underwater in the pool in the morning. The food is great, with paid Chinese, Western, and Japanese cuisine made with fresh Hokkaido ingredients. If you don't want to spend money, you can bring your own ingredients and cook in the room. In addition to the buffet, you can order breakfast à la carte, and I even had the Otaru Yamanaka milk I had been craving. The service is very attentive, and the staff is always ready to help, making my stay very comfortable. If you want to enjoy a relaxing ski vacation, Park Hyatt Niseko is definitely the best choice. Come and experience it! 💕
