Owashi Lodge in Hokkaido Niseko, Japan

A mere two minute walk from the main quad lift, Owashi is a backpackers hostel designed to cater for the modern independent skier and boarder. A combination of small private rooms and great communal spaces gives guests the option to relax in quiet comfort or party with fellow snow enthusiasts.

Owashi Lodge is more than just great rooms at great prices. We can help you with many of the other mountain services you might need: ski equipment hire at discounted rates, all resort lift passes and loads of information about the many other activities available in Niseko.

On arrival at New Chitose Airport, visitors have a number of options to complete their trip to Niseko Hirafu. The trip is only 110 kilometres but transfers take between 2 and three hours due to weather conditions and icy roads.
The bus is the cheapest and probably easiest way to get from New Chitose Airport to Niseko Hirafu. A bus departs the Airport every 30 minutes and stops at each of the three Niseko resorts.
