Annupuri Mountain View Lodge Reviews

It was our first time in Japan, Niseko and this lodge did NOT disappoint. The rooms are a decent size and cosy! The service from all of the staff was amazing, they made you feel so welcome from the minute you stepped foot in the door. A big shout out to Kyle and Lara as we mainly spoke with them during our 3 night stay. They were always able to give us advice or help us when we needed them! The bathroom/ shower area was perfect and lots of toilets available too! We came at the end of the season so it seemed very chilled. The breakfast was delicious and the free tea and coffee was a lovely touch! Also there is a washing machine which is great. The location couldn’t be any better it is literally a 5 minute walk from the ski resort. The guy who rents the equipment was super lovely and spoke clear English so all understanding was super smooth. The whole experience was 10/10 and I would recommend anyone to book and stay at this lodge as it’s so reasonable and cosy! Thank you again!

Best experience anywhere in japan and that’s all thanks to Kyle and Lara, you got more chance of a coconut landing on you’re head and killing you then Kyle not carrying you’re luggage to you’re room

Incredible lodge! Our two-week stay at Annapuri Mountain View Lodge was fantastic. The staff was very helpful, the location is within walking distance to the gondola, and the rooms were impeccably clean. I'd definitely come back!

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the lodge. I just wanted to say how good of a job the team you have onsite are doing. Kyle, Lara, Shion, Miku, and Feong were all great. We've stayed at a lot of types of accommodation from hostels to 5-star and found your team were some of the most contentious and hospitable hosts I've met. The lodge offered really good value for money and was exactly what we were looking for! Just a 5 minute walk to the lifts, so is a great location. Large breakfast and clean, comfortable (basic) rooms. Shared toilets were always clean. Epic trip, fun snow, and a good tour up Youtei. Really hope we can come back next year.

We stayed here for just a few nights but we will definitely be back! The hosts were amazing and kind, the atmosphere is very well suited for people coming to Annupuri to shred! The breakfast times are perfect for making it to first chair and you can walk less than 10 minutes to the ticket counter and lifts. We can't wait to come here again!

We spent a week here and loved every bit of it. Kyle, Lara, Miku and Shion immediately made us feel welcomed, were always happy to help during our stay and made sure we had a grouse time😁. Great location only a short walk from the annupuri gondola and awesome breakfast ready for us every morning. Would definitely stay here again!

My daughter and I stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. You feel the warmth of Lara, Kyle, Miko and Shion as soon as you enter the place and they took really good care of us and made us feel at home right away. The place is clean and super cosy. We'd love to come back and can highly recommend staying here. The location is also very convenient to go skiing.

I stayed here for about 4 nights. While first arriving I was welcomed by kyle and laura who were awesome. The breakfast here is very good! Highly recommend coming here. You will not be disappointed. if you do end up staying here in the winter: Check out gate zero for dinner thats right next door!

Incredible customer service, very warm and friendly. The breakfast every morning was really good and is right next to a new bar called gate zero. Lara and Kyle were extremely welcoming and provided a great atmosphere. A couple of friends and I stayed here for a few nights while we skiied the Annupuri part of the mountain. Definitely recommend!

This is definitely one of the best lodge to stay with if you are going for a ski trip in annupuri. The lodge is clean and well maintained. The host is friendly and very approachable. There is a dry room near the entrance where you could put all your ski/snowboard gears and let it dry overnight. The shared bath rooms and toilets are individual modules which give you the same privacy as the private bath room in the room, and it is warm. The common area is spacious and come with fire pit. Nice place to chitchat with other hotel guest after one day hard work on the mountain. Wifi speed is good. The lodge is just 200-300 meter from Annupuri ski resort, super convenient, you could ski back (at ur own risk though). The price for stay is very affordable too, and it comes with complementary breakfast. The only thing i find it a bit less convenient is that there is no laundary service onsite.

いい宿です。 日本語は通じませんが、スタッフがとっても親切なのでなんとかなります。 朝ご飯も美味しい。アンヌプリに近い。 ただ、シャワーが弱すぎる笑 近くの日帰り温泉に行けば問題なし。

Thank you for your review Hazuki! We're so happy you enjoyed the breakfast. We are working on improving water pressure in the showers!

It was a great stay in the Lodge. The hosts were incredible. They made every morning a wonderful breakfast that carried you through the whole day. The potatos and eggs were delicious. The whole lodge is clean and comfy. I already miss it a little bit. The only drawback was the low pressure water in the shower. We will come back for sure.

Thank you Moritz, it was wonderful to host you both! We're so glad you enjoyed the potato wedges as a lot of love goes into making them. We appreciate your patience with our attempts to improve the water pressure, hopefully we will have full pressure soon! Looking forward to seeing you at the lodge next time.

Stayed over New Years 2022-2023 with friends. Staff were lovely and facilities were top. Walking distance from Annupuri resort. Every night was a great vibe in the living room, had a great sleep too. Breakfast kept us going on the slopes till lunch. If I had to nitpick, the shower pressure was quite low in all showers. Also there's not much eating options nearby (those that were are booked solid) and no convenience store. If top lift is closed, bus is only way you'll get to Hirafu which is ~45 mins away and it's not fun. Would say Annupuri is a great place for families, but Hirafu is much more lively and convenient for groups of friends especially younger crowd.

Thank you Diarmaid for you lovely review. Was so nice to host you and your friends over New Years, you helped make it a special one for us too!

We are working on increasing water pressure in the lodge so thank you for your notes. Annupuri is certainly not as busy or restaurant rich as Hirafu but our guests benefit from having first access to the extensive back country skiing Annupuri is known for. Be sure to book restaurants, stock up at the convenience store and plan your travel to and from the lodge in advance to avoid disappointment!
