The Mountain
Niseko is located on Hokkaido, which is the most northern prefecture in Japan. Niseko consists of four resorts, Niseko Grand Hirafu, Niseko Hanazano, Niseko village and Niseko Annupuri which are all connected at the mountain top. Niseko Grand Hirafu is the most famous for snow and apres activites. it also has all the necessary services such as English ski and snowboard schools, CAT skiing tours, backcountry tours which are all perfectly set up for international travellers.
The Location
The best way to get there is fly into Sapporo (New Chitose Airport) and catch the ski bus from the airport directly to Niseko, which takes about 2 hours 40 minutes. After bookiing your accommodation with us we will send you all travel information to make transit from the airport an easy and enjoyable experience.

I love that you provide the opportunity to stay are more “local” places such as pension locomotion.
The booking process was super easy, and pick your from welcome centre was smooth.
Pension locomotion was perfect for a solo traveller - friendly faces to share stories with in the common room, room was great for one, might be tight for two, common room has everything needed -fridge, washing machine, dryer, microwave and space to relax and chat with others. The space to wax and maintain equipment was a real bonus!
Will be back again if possible and next time I hope to meet akihiro’s four legged friends

We enjoyed our stay at Pension Locomotion. The owner was very helpful. The rooms were not very big but the biggest problem was the mattresses on the beds. We didn't find them very comfortable. Otherwise good value for the money.

The owner is very nice and friendly. The overall facility is reasonably with its price. However, I got the basement room and it was extremely freezing when compared to the upstairs (breakfast area & common room). It seems that the heater in my room was not sufficient for its condition and size.

The Locomotion was once again a lovely place to stay, it had avery comfortable room & the location was wonderful as it was in a quieter part of Hirafu. With only a small walk to convenience stores and restaurants you felt like you were amongst it all but had piece and quite when you wanted. The Locomotion has a good board room downstairs and plenty of space in the rooms to hang up gear if you wanted. The owner was really friendly and cooks up a great breakfast to get you ready for the day ahead! The walk to the chairlifts only took 10 easy minutes and you could catch a bus 1 min away from the pension if you were felling lazy. It definitely felt like a home away from home so we wouldn't hesitate in staying there again! Thank you so much for the help again with accommodation and we both look forward to using JSA again in the future:)
