About

Niseko Backcountry Lodge is a traditional Japanese ski lodge with a modern touch. Based in the heart of Niseko's powder, it has undergone extensive renovations, adding 21st-century touches and comforts to make it the best place to rest after a huge day on the hill.
We pride ourselves on providing quality, affordable, friendly accommodation in the best location possible. We are slopeside at Moiwa, with the lifts of Annupuri and beyond just a 3-minute free shuttle away. You can ski back from every resort in Niseko right to our door.
With a wide variety of comfortable rooms, a ski and drying room, wireless internet throughout, an in-house restaurant and bar, and comfy communal areas to unwind after another day spent chest deep in powder, Niseko Backcountry Lodge is the place to be.
Each bed in the lodge has a brand new western mattress, plush quilt and pillow, power and reading light, privacy curtain and free WiFi.
We are founded on the principles of friendliness, fun and adventure. Our communal areas are alive with planning for tomorrow’s big powder adventures, or storytelling from another big day in Niseko’s powder.

Niseko Backcountry Lodge was an incredible time! The staff is friendly and the amenities are great. Having the dry room there to ensure that all your ski gear is dry the next morning is a really important detail. The social aspect was perfect. People were friendly and I found a good group of guys to rip with every single day. In the evenings, the hostel is social but not like a "party hostel" which is perfect because we are all trying to wake up and ski! Bed was comfortable and good breakfast!
