The exceptional location of Skye Niseko provides guests with the rare privilege of true ski-in, ski-out access to some of the world’s most celebrated powder snow—affectionately known as “Japow” by devoted skiers and snowboarders. During winter months, visitors can marvel at the stunning snow-capped Mount Yotei, often referred to as the “Mount Fuji of Hokkaido,” visible from many vantage points throughout the property. The vibrant heart of Hirafu Village lies just steps away, offering an eclectic array of dining options from traditional izakayas serving steaming bowls of Hokkaido ramen to sophisticated establishments showcasing the region’s famous seafood. In warmer seasons, the area transforms into a verdant playground for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for hiking, golf, and exploring the stunning natural landscapes that define this corner of northern Japan. What truly sets Skye Niseko apart, as reflected in its outstanding 9.4 rating, is its seamless integration of Japanese aesthetics with contemporary luxury. The hotel’s architecture draws inspiration from its natural surroundings while incorporating elements of traditional Japanese design, creating spaces that are at once modern and timeless. Guest accommodations range from elegantly appointed rooms to lavish penthouses, many featuring private onsen baths where visitors can partake in Japan’s beloved bathing ritual while gazing out at snow-draped landscapes. The property’s wellness facilities include a comprehensive spa offering treatments that incorporate local ingredients and healing traditions, alongside a state-of-the-art fitness center and both indoor and outdoor onsen baths fed by natural thermal springs. The hotel’s attentive staff embodies the Japanese concept of omotenashi—an unparalleled dedication to anticipatory, personalized service that ensures each guest’s experience is nothing short of extraordinary. Whether you’re carving through Niseko’s legendary powder, savoring the culinary delights of Hokkaido, or simply unwinding in your luxurious accommodations, Skye Niseko promises an authentic Japanese alpine experience elevated to the highest standards of international luxury.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The room with view of Mt. Yotei was incredible. The service was impeccable, they even went the extra mile coordinating with our previous hotel and our next hotel to have a lost item shipped to our next stop. The private onsen was amazing.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The room with view of Mt. Yotei was incredible. The service was impeccable, they even went the extra mile coordinating with our previous hotel and our next hotel to have a lost item shipped to our next stop. The private onsen was amazing. We don't usually do hotel breakfast, but this spread was next level, they had everything and of ridiculously good quality, I'm still thinking about the local camerbert cheese and the cured ham... Tuna sashimi and salmon roe for donburi, ridiculously good local fruits, just the tip of the iceberg, they had everything. We stayed in the off-season (late Sept 2024) so the value of the room was probably one of the best we have come across in the last 15 years of traveling the globe. Oh, didn't mention the beautiful kitchen with everything you need and super high end equipment and pots/pans etc. If you want to spoil yourself in the off-season don't think twice, just book this place. And thank you so much again to the staff for helping us recover our lost item from a previous hotel, you really went above and beyond, and we are eternally grateful. Keep up the stellar job and we can only hope to come back in the near future.

The penthouse was one of the best places that I stayed in. Best view with floor to ceiling windows. Had a great week with my family.

What could be improved: With all the good things, the air conditioning was not cooling especially in a sunny day, with all the windows around. The management tried to fix the problem but the place is designed for winter. The hotel manager offered us even to move to a bigger penthouse, but the problem would still be there. They placed fans everywhere which eased the problem.
