The room was very comfortable, warm, and spacious. We loved that there was a kitchen and a huge window by our bed where we can watch the snow fall. The staffs were very very friendly and we did not have any difficulty going to places because we drove. A staff brought us to our parking spot right outside our accommodation and was very friendly with us. The staffs were very helpful with our inquiries as well. We really really enjoyed our stay and would want to come back here when we visit Niseko again. We loved this accommodation and our entire experience here. Would definitely recommend this place to guests that are driving :)

Nothing, the entire stay was so pleasant!

Quiet location, convenient to shuttle stop to get to Hirafu intersection (500 JPY but free if you have a valid lift pass, 20 mins ride). Staff couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating. Accommodation was great, space didn't make you feel cramped even for a longer (week long) stay. A couple of good restaurants nearby, a couple that do room delivery and others that do pickup service. However, if you want crowds and social interaction you need to go to Hirafu Intersection. Free staff dropoff and pickup from ski fields morning and afternoon. Would love to come back

We booked a 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment for 3 people. The apartment was spacious and also had an in-unit washer/dryer which was really convenient. The location itself was good as well. Around a 10 minute drive to Hirafu, 7 minutes to Hilton Village, and about 30 minutes to Rusutsu. However, there isn't much available in walking distance (e.g. convenience stores, restaurants, etc.). There's a ski locker next to the reception and the rental companies were able to deliver / pickup directly to Snowdog. There are a handful of parking spots available - we didn't have any issues, but we were also there from Monday - Thursday. Note that to facilitate snow clearing, the front desk told us that we may be asked to move our cars sometime between 8 - 10 AM. Our group mostly left around 9 AM for the slopes and never ran into this.

Premises was clean and well maintained, all facilities were perfect for trips like these.

Like most apartments in that area, accessibility is an issue but that is to be expected

The staff is simply the most helpful and the nicest. They will do anything to make your stay better, and know exactly how to make your life easier (they help with trains and bus bookings and timetables, arrange drop offs and pick ups from the bus stops and train stations, as well as from and to the ski lifts) The room is quite big and the bed comfortable, and the bathroom is great. Everything is also super clean. The room includes a dryer cleaner unit which is equiped with detergent free of charge, which was an unexpected but very much appreciated bonus

The location is a bit isolated from restaurants and party places, but its nothing a bus ride or taxi ride cant solve.

Concierge team picked us up from bus on arrival and dropped us at station to catch train on departure. They also dropped us and picked us up at the nearby chair lift each morning and gave great info on bus and train timetables. Apartment was awesome and really well equipped with dishwasher, washer and dryer etc and dish and washer powders/liquid. Shower was awesome, beds comfy, Netflix available and on site restaurant provided really great Japanese food and a great evening.

As it is a bit out of the way you do need to be on top of public transport or have your own car to make sure you don’t get stranded in the evening in Hirafu. Nearest grocery shopping is Hirafu. Second bedroom had compact bunks. Fine for our family but a group of adults might not have enjoyed sharing that room.

Really cute apartments & lovely attentive staff. Great for anyone looking to avoid the hustle & bustle of Hirafu. A little bit difficult to get to from Hirafu/Hanzono as buses are infrequent & taxis are quite expensive.

Really clean facility, super nice and helpful staff.

It’s kind of difficult to get into town where all the bars, restaurants, and stores are because of where this accommodation is located, but on the bright side, they have a shuttle in which they used to drop off guests at the mountain in the morning and pick them up in the evening

Snowdog village was one of the best apartments iv had the pleasure of staying in. The team was so helpful and happy all the time. The location is great! 5 mins walk to bus stop (staff will drop you to bus stop if requested and pick you up from bus stop even if you don't ask which was very nice) or 10 mins walk to the bottom gondola, which i did with my gear, and it was beautiful. I will be returning next year.

King bed was made with 2 single beds, which was a little comfortable if you rolled around.

The apartment was clean and well appointed like a home away from home, staff were extremely friendly with good service, the quietness of the area. We could see the difficulties of the location for travellers without their own transport or who love to stay in the action, but it was perfect for us.

Nothing it was great.
