Top Family-Friendly Hotels In Niseko Including Ski-In Ski-Out, Chalets, Hotels *UPDATED

Chalets + Hotels + Ski-In/Ski-Out Options In Niseko For 2022/2023 Ski Season!

Best-Hotels-Chalets-Condominiums-In-Niseko

Always popular, Niseko is a magical place for snow-loving families with babies, toddlers, kids, and teens! Little Steps has chatted with parents visiting and living in Niseko to round up a list of top hotels that cater to kids and families! We have included the best of luxury chalets, affordable and cheap options, ski-in/ski-out favorites, big group options, and a few secret stays as well. For those looking for family-friendly accommodation in Niseko, there are 4 different resort areas to choose from:

  • Annupuri
  • Niseko Village (International hotel chains like Hilton and Ritz Carlton are located in Niseko Village)
  • Grand Hirafu
  • Hanazono (Park Hyatt is in Hanazono)

Family-friendly hotels could have different meanings – some would need a connecting room to separate the kids from the adults, some require an indoor and outdoor kids’ space and a child-friendly menu, while others would be looking for child-care services like babysitting. Another thing to consider is if you want a ski-in/ski-out hotel located on the slopes, something at the foot of the mountain, or a centrally located one closer to downtown. 

For areas, the 4 resort areas run ongoing shuttle buses so it’ll be convenient no matter where you stay. You can choose from a combined ski pass (all 4 resorts) or individual passes offered for Annupuri and Hirafu. Note, Annupuri is the hub of Kids Land, sledding, tubing, and beginner slopes.
