Now accepting reservations for arrivals for winter season of 20th January 2025 and beyond.
Opening in December 2024, Nikko Style Niseko HANAZONO will be situated in Niseko, Hokkaido, a premier ski resort in northern Japan that is renowned for its world-class powder snow. Hanazono, one of the four “Niseko United” resorts on Mt. Annupuri, is a vibrant area that is constantly changing with the seasons, offering skiing from early December through April and abundant nature year-round.
The hotel’s standard guest rooms will measure a comfortable 34 square meters, many suitable for triple occupancy. Deluxe rooms between 40 and 50 square meters, perfect for families and groups, will have large picture windows overlooking the location’s beautiful surroundings.
All rooms on the top two floors will have their own private hot-spring tub, in addition to large and relaxing indoor and outdoor baths available to all guests.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I booked this new hotel because it is located in our favorite ski area at Niseko (Hanazono), and there was still availability despite my late booking. Although, while enroute to the hotel I read several poor reviews online mostly related to problems with service and training. Fortunately, I never had any of the problems that were mentioned online, so it seems management had worked to address these issues. For example:
* While there is not a full room cleaning every day, during the daily "partial" cleaning all of the towels were replaced, even the ones on hooks. I had no problems with the cleaning services. * Staff were helpful and friendly, and I had no difficulty communicating in either English or Chinese. (I don't speak Japanese.) * The hotel Onsen was fantastic. It was also kept clean and I didn't find a situation where dirty towels were lying around.
A few notes:
* While the hotel is in a fantastic location, the rooms are rather small. We booked a club access room for me and two kids, and had a third bed added. It was tough to store all or ski stuff and luggage in the room. More storage space or hooks for hanging ski clothes would be helpful. * The hotel has a restaurant where we ate for dinner one night. However, they only have buffet service and no menu service. (Although I believe one can order light dishes at the bar.) I would prefer a restaurant with an option to order off the menu. * I enjoyed the bar, but note that it's only open until 9:30 p.m. * We had lounge access which was great for the 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. cocktail hour (plus breakfast service). The snack offerings for cocktail hour could be improved, or at least changed from day to day. * I like the layout of the ski lockers that were very easy to use and conveniently located on the first (ground) floor of the hotel. * In terms of dining options, the Hanazono EDGE is right across the road, which is where my kids liked to eat. They have a limited menu at night, but we were pretty happy with that over the hotel buffet. The Park Hyatt is also nearby. Otherwise, you'll need to take a bus to Hirafu. We just stayed in Hanazono for our four-day stay.
Overall, I had a positive experience at the hotel. Niseko in winter is just insanely expensive pretty much anywhere you go, especially in a hotel with such a great location. I would have liked a bit more space for the price of room, but otherwise I would go back. (In fact, I am going back in three weeks for a special event.)

The newly opened hotel has potential but needs improvement. Dinner is limited to a buffet with no a la carte options, and the minibar is empty with no room service. However, Harry at the front desk was outstanding. He went above and beyond to help us catch an early bus to the airport, even arranging a taxi and providing detailed guidance. And the binto box prepared for our early departure is a bonus. Location of the hotel is excellent.

It is a brand-new hotel. I love it. We stayed for 3 nights, a premium deluxe family view room, with access to the lounge. The staff are very nice and kind. The location is perfect since it is in the ski area and good for family time. However, because the hotel had just opened 5 days after I arrived, there were several things that can be improved to make the hotel more suitable with 5 star and worth with the high prices. A few staff both in the front desk and in the lounge cannot understand English well. Since it is a winter season, body lotion can be a good thing if the hotel can provide it in each room. For the lounge, both breakfast and light food in the evening every day were the same. It would be nice to see a change a bit. Other than that, it is great !
