Best Resorts in Biya

"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. "

"Beautiful hotel. Love the traditional minimalist Japanese style and aesthetic. The Onsens were amazing. Overall great experience "

"My partner, me, and a friend stayed from January 12th to the 16th, 2026. Location: Just a five-minute walk to Niseko Annapuri ski lodge and lift chairs. 15 minutes walk in snow to an Onsen (Niseko Hot Spring Ikoino Yuyado Iroha). You will want to coordinate a shuttle from the Kutchan train station, or a taxi beforehand. We made the mistake of arriving in the evening and not pre-arranging an Uber - we were lucky to hitch a ride with a private shuttle for a guide (we paid a premium due to the last-minute plan). Check-in & staff: Staff were great, always available when needed, coordinated a shuttle back to Kutchan, we shipped our gear from New Chitose Room: The room was clean, beds were a little small (normal for Japan so no complaints). There were 2 beds and a loft. The beds were good for our taste. Not too noisy, but it is a bed and breakfast so you will get used to hearing people walking down the hall. Everyone was mindful and quiet as expected. Amenities: There was WiFi, but I did not use it as I had a pre-paid SIM (highly recommend if travelling in a foreign country!). Breakfast was AMAZING AND FREE, 3-4 course dinners were phenomenal, and a good value (3100 yen), plenty of ski storage; AMAZING BAR Value: Very worth the price Issues: There was a power issue the last night of our stay, but the hotel was warm and cozy, it was quickly fixed Best for: Skiiers, snowboarders Verdict: I WOULD GO BACK!"

"We had an amazing stay at this ski lodge in Niseko. The service team truly went above and beyond for us and made our trip so easy and enjoyable. It was our first time in Niseko and the staff were incredibly accommodating, even organising our private airport transfers, which made everything completely stress-free. They were always happy to help with recommendations and any questions we had. The accommodation was very comfortable, we stayed in the quad room and it was perfect for our group. Breakfast each morning was great and a really nice way to start the day before heading out to the slopes. The Niseko United Shuttle bus stop was less than 5 min walk down the road. Huge thank you to the whole team for such a fantastic stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Niseko!"

"Friendly staff, excellent food, lots of amenities, awesome location! "

"We rented a one bedroom condo in January of 26. The communication and support provided by Vacation Niseko in advance of travel was immediate and thorough, so our shuttle to Niseko and then to Snow Dog Village was seamless. The staff at Snow Dog were extremely helpful both from a facilities/shuttle standpoint as well as helpful intel on where to ski across the mountain. The condo itself was very clean, and all amenities worked fine. Was very nice to have a washer/dryer for a week’s stay, and a working kitchen so we could relax and manage our own day in the mornings. In my opinion Snow Dog is high value for the location and level of service. I looked at a number of options in the area and Snow Dog is extremely affordable when compared to the Hilton or other Hirafu rentals. You are a little isolated compared to being in central Hirafu but to be honest, we found skiing Niseko Village and Annupuri to be our favorite areas with fewer crowds. Excellent trade-offs! Can’t say enough about the staff at Snow Dog. They were a delight to interact with and were happy to humor a couple of old farts. We will be back! "

"Near Niseko Village, staff is nice, room was clean, ski room was helpful, baths/showers were nice."

"Great hotel, but not close to the slopes. There is a frequent shuttle bus if you're ok with that."
