Niseko Goshiki Onsen Ryokan

We stayed in the annex building which had a bit of a bare bones hostel vibe, but great value for the Niseko area. The main building looked much nicer but the only part we could access was the lobby and onsen. I wish we could have had the option to pay for breakfast because it looked very nice. There are places to leave your ski gear near the annex and main building entrances. Rooms were functional but nothing fancy. Tatami bedding was very old and stained but the sheets covering the bedding were all freshly laundered and clean so our group wasn't too bothered. Only sobakawa pillows are provided. There is a kitchen on the second floor near the rooms, convenient until someone starts banging around at 5am making breakfast. The annex onsen baths were open 24hrs and right downstairs which was awesome - our group mostly had them to ourselves. Inside and outside baths for both genders, the water was very hot but perfectly tolerable. You do need to pay to rent towels or bring your own - there are none provided in the rooms. There are slippers at the annex entrance but they are really beat up. Staff were very friendly, not much English spoken but we could communicate well enough via Google translate. They have their own snowplows and will plow the parking lot after a snowstorm. Roads to/from Niseko will also get plowed after a storm. They also have a bunch of snow clearing tools (shovels, brushes, etc) at the main building entrance.

great place to enjoy the view

The onsen and hotel was in a great location if you like to backcountry ski. The room was spacious and decently clean with pretty comfortable beds, though a bit hard. It is kind of far from any services so make sure to pack some extra snacks and beers. The chef was out on vacation while we stayed so we had to get dinner in town each night which was a lot of driving in pretty gnarly weather. Overall, our stay was great though! Would definitely stay again. Would make sure to include the dinner and breakfast in our next stay.

Certainly! Here’s a refined version of your comment: Review: The hotel is located too far up on a hill, which can be inconvenient, especially in heavy snow. When we arrived, it was snowing heavily, making it difficult to see the road. The facilities are decent, but the most notable feature is the hot nature spring, which is quite enjoyable. However, cleanliness could be improved, and the amenities are very basic. For those who enjoy hot springs, it might be worth a visit, but otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend staying here for accommodation.

Goshiki is a skiers dream come true!!! Ideally located outside of niseko’s high traffic and a step off the stairs away from skinning up a the mountain from Giving it moderate ratings is only because it’s an older structure with minimal maintenance,…. Rooms were very nice and clean and the waters are rich in minerals. Staying here allows for exclusive 24hr onsen access. Pools get busy after 3-7pm when skiers are finishing up their day,… Go enjoy its traditional rustic building while they’re standing. Seems like within 5-10 years it will be developed and owned by a foreign tycoon! Bring your own food,,.. vending machines have beer only,…

The place is pretty run down and dirty.  The indoor Onsen was covered in black mold and several in our group became violently ill.  Do your self a favor, stay elsewhere and drive up to ski.

Wonderful stay! It was comfortable, great for the price. We were the only ones in the accommodation on the first day, we had the onsen to ourselves.
