We film each house room by room. Kuromatsu Lodge is in the schedule — until then, the photographs are all honest.

Try one that’s ready

  • Private onsen

    Genuine geothermal, not a heated tub. Outdoors, screened, open all night.

  • Fifteen metres of powder

    Niseko's annual average. The lodge is 400 m from the Hanazono lift.

  • Built for cold

    Triple glazing, floor heating throughout, and a drying room that actually dries.

Niseko gets about fifteen metres of snow a year and Kuromatsu is built for that: a steep roof, triple glazing, heated floors everywhere, and a drying room by the door that gets your gear genuinely dry overnight rather than merely less wet.

The onsen at the back is geothermal — the water comes out of the ground at 43°C forty metres away and runs straight into a screened outdoor bath. Sitting in it while snow falls on your head is the reason people come back.

Mount Yōtei fills the window of the main bedroom. Hanazono's lift is a 400-metre walk, and Haruki runs a shuttle when the snow is deep, which it usually is.

“The onsen is real — the water comes out of the ground at 43°C about forty metres from where you'll be sitting in it.”

“Best snow of my life and the onsen after was the single best part of every day. The drying room is a small thing that makes an enormous difference.”

“We're not skiers and it was still worth it. Yōtei out the window in the morning, the bath at night, and Niseko village for dinner.”
ChiaraTurin · January 2026
“Haruki's shuttle ran whenever we asked. Eight of us, four bedrooms, no friction at all.”

“Excellent lodge. The tatami room is genuinely futons on the floor — lovely, but check your group is up for it.”
