Rankoshi Hotel Guide - Yukichichibu Onsen hotels in Rankoshi, Japan.

"I stayed here for a trip to Niseko, which is about a 30-minute drive away. The hotel has some wonderful highlights, but also a few downsides to consider. The Highlights: • Stunning Views: The breakfast was a highlight! The restaurant overlooks a snowy landscape that looks like something straight out of a fairytale. The breakfast selection was also quite good. • Great Amenities: They offer lovely extras like complimentary soda, tea, and ice pops. There’s also a microwave available, which was very convenient for heating up quick meals after a tiring day of skiing. • Atmosphere: I really enjoyed the live music performances held in the lobby every evening—it added a very nice touch to the stay. • Parking: Free parking is available right across from the lobby, though you'll need to find your own spot. The Downsides: • Onsen & Cleanliness: While they have an onsen, the washing area was not very clean, and the space felt a bit cramped. It also tended to get quite loud inside. • Room Condition: I stayed in a Japanese-style room, which was very spacious, but unfortunately, it felt a bit dated and not as clean as I would have liked. Overall, the scenery and free perks are fantastic, but the cleanliness in the common areas and rooms could definitely be improved."

"It’s tucked deep in the mountains, with the nearest convenience store about a 12-minute drive away, so having a car is highly recommended. That said, the resort itself offers a wide range of amenities -including breakfast, onsen, and massage services - covering most of your needs during the stay. The highlight of this experience was being able to enjoy snowy scenery even in the third week of March. "

"Stunning ski in ski out resort. Very new rooms with great breakfast. "

"The staff are simply amazing "

"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."

"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. "

"Awesome ski lodge/hostel! Will definitely be back! Awesome vibes, great space, good breakfast"
