1. Couldn't ask for a better host than Ryo-san. He drives us to ski resort at 8am and 9am slots. When time permits, went out of his way to drive us to local onsen, hosts hotpot dinner and drives us to the train station. 2. Property is clean and comfortable. Best of all, you get to see the million-dollar view of the mountain from the common area. 3. Location is great, walking distance from Kutchan station, near supermarket that pretty much has everything at affordable price. Walking distance to food places. Can also take the local bus from Kutchan station to ski resort. Personal preference, I would rather stay in Kutchan than the overtly priced, touristy Niseko/Hirafu village. 4. Last of all, it's the other guests that makes the place even more welcoming. Truly enjoyed my stay because of the people I've met, sharing interest in snowboarding/skiing. Guests recounted their day, shared advice, looked out for each other and have dinner together. You get to speak with guests from all around the world and learn about their culture and lives. 5. Great stay and experience for solo traveller.

I was travelling over 2 weeks, skiing in the day and working in the evening thanks to the 9 hour time difference. The location is a 5 minute walk to the bus stop to get up to the Grand Hirafu Welcome centre and the Ace Gondola so close enough to everything you need, but in a quiet side street. Facilities are excellent, including the washer dryer, this is the first ski trip I am not taking home dirty laundry! The room was excellent, clean and comfortable, and once I had got used to the Japanese heating systems in the property I had a very comfortable stay. Kutchan has some great bars and restuarants, and the prices are much better than in the main resorts of Niseko.

The property (As a solo traveller) is perfect, in comparison to nearby accommodation it is affordable, the staff are amazing and super friendly. The facilities for washing are a bit lacking but you can always use the resort facilities as a stop gap. Otherwise for the price and location of YOUTEI I would recommend it for anyway who would like to stay in Rusutsu for a longer period of time for a price that isn’t excessive.

    The premises is a hostel that caters for skiers during Winter. We had the tatami beds in a private room and if we can cope aged 57 and 60 anybody can! It was the cheapest we could find but we enjoyed, aside from the cold showers, but it was cheap in comparison 😀

    I guess I didn’t read the description but it’s a really cool property, it’s an old school turned into a hostel. The owners were extremely nice and communicated everything well. There a bus stop for both directions at the entrance making it very accessible to either town. When I got hurt and had to go to the hospital the grandma at the property who used to be a nurse helped re bandage my ankle after the hospital didn’t do a good job and everyone checked on me every day. It was really sweet.

    The house is beautiful and cosy feeling and Ryo keeps the whole place super clean and well maintained. The beds were comfy and rooms were well heated. Kitchen was sufficiently equipped with all you need. The location was good, near to the JR Kutchan station, a supermarket and a 7-11. Ryo also provides daily morning shuttle to Hirafu, which is highly appreciated. Most remarkably Ryo is a friendly and helpful host, and a wonderful cook too :) This is one of the best hostel we have stayed in!
