Stayed two nights to ski. The hotel is somewhat secluded, so you’ll need a rental car to explore the area. Given the ongoing pandemic, the hotel didn’t seem to have a lot of guests, and as a result, there were limited options to eat and drink (it seemed the restaurant and bar were closed when I was there, and you can’t walk anywhere nearby). But the hotel offers a wonderful breakfast (set menu, not buffet). Beautiful lobby. Spacious room. Friendly staff. Incredible onsen. The ski slopes at Annupuri are about five minutes away by car; Niseko Village, Hirafu, and Hanazono are about 15-25 minutes away. It took me about 2.5 hours to drive to the hotel (via Lake Shikotsu) from New Chitose Airport.
