NISEKO Inn of Youtei Raku Suisan

What an incredibly gorgeous hotel with the most incredible chefs and staff! The room and onsen were the nicest we have ever seen!

The ryokan has a fantastic view of Mt Yotei. The staff provided wonderful service, making our stay memorable. They were warm, approachable, and helpful. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and beautifully presented. The ryokan was nice and clean. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The onsen inside the room was fabulous. Overall, the experience was fantastic.

Everything was exceptional. One of the best properties i have ever stayed at.

What isn’t to like? The staff are unbelievably kind and understanding even when we missed the bus to the train station upon check out (we had stupidly put a wash on in the washing machine a bit too late and it had ten minutes left when we were supposed to be checking out— YES the room has a washing machine!!! A haven for holidays and ski trips!) The accommodation was outstanding and the design and materials of the building everywhere were outstanding. The room? I could live there. Happily. And thank goodness for underfloor heating! The staff were somehow the highlight of this stay, despite everything being incredible. They accommodated a birthday request and helped me make it a surprise and I really deeply want to thank everyone there and I appreciated everything. I have so much to talk about despite only being there one night. The FOOD. Who ever the chefs are they sure know what they’re doing! I wish to personally thank and congratulate each one of the kitchen staff because they have superseded any expectation I had and genuinely there was nothing to even comment on? The menu was delicious, the private room overlooking the snow? Beautiful. The servers?? Outstanding. They were so kind yet professional and even fetched as much bread as we asked for (because it was ridiculously good and paired ridiculously good with the different butters and salts). I honestly can’t thank them enough!!! If you’re anywhere near niseko for the love of all good things book this place!!!

That it isn’t closer to my house!!!

Superbe expérience. Un lieu hors du temps tout en étant très proche de la frénésie de Hirafu et de son domaine skiable. Chambre très confortable, et dîner « unique » dans un cadre féerique sous une tempête de neige ! Produits de qualité et repas copieux.

素晴らしい施設で混んでいず、周囲は静かでのんびりと過ごせました。 夕食も窓に向いたカウンター席で、良かったです。 夕食のコースも良かったのですが、唯一キンキのお料理が生臭くて、そこだけが残念でした。

とても静かで落ち着く宿です。部屋からもロビーからも羊蹄山が見えて最高です。 部屋も素敵ですし温泉も良かったです。 ラウンジでワインやスパークリングワインがいただけて嬉しかったです。また伺いたい宿です。

Probably the most stunning hotel in the area. We enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for kindly hosting us.

Staff, service, room, view - all fantastic

Food was great but not exceptional for the price paid

Very cozy hotel

Staff goes above and beyond to help you whether it was de-icing the car or providing tea and snacks upon arrival. The room is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of space to lounge and relax. Having our own onsen with a view of Mt. Yotei after a day of skiing was an absolute delight. We will definitely be returning!

One of the most beautiful hotels we’ve ever stayed in. The simple design and impeccable service from the staff made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We stayed as a family with two small kids and next time skiing in Niseko I would rather choose a hotel at the gondola base (like the Ki hotel) but for a relaxing getaway Raku Suisan was perfect!! We ate dinner and breakfast there every single day and the Japanese food was absolutely amazing. If you want to immerse yourself in the seafood based Hokkaido cuisine then definitely eat all of your meals there. The room was lovely and well stocked with coffee and tea. The lobby was spacious and had a great view of the falling snow in the courtyard. The staff went above and beyond to help us in any way. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic stay. Full team is outstandingly nice and helpful, amenities are beautiful and food is excellent. Definitely one of the best venues we stayed in so far (also compared to classics like Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton)

This was a terrific stay. We all loved it. Suites were large and minimalist but very tasteful, exceptionally comfortable with all technical amenities and private onsen in each suite. I would describe this as a luxury and modern take on the traditional Japanese inn (inn was built in 2020). Inn is about 7 minutes drive from the hopping ski town of Hirafu. Hotel provides free shuttle back and forth at specified times and Go Taxi app worked well, so no need for rental car. Very peaceful and relaxing and a nice way to experience Japanese culture (the ski town hotels feel by contrast a bit like you could be anywhere in the world). Great massages at spa. Small fitness room. Food is very good. Really friendly staff.

The best accommodation in Japan. Specially the dinner is fantastic. We want to come back later 100%.

The food is exceptional. They have three restaurants in the hotel with only 18 rooms. The ingredients and the cooking is first class. The staff is the most welcoming staff we ever met in Japan - and that is something. The open Bath is just great. The water is original onsen water. Relaxing in the rotemburo watching the clouds on Mount Yotei is paramount. The design of the room is a fantastic mixture of Japanese tradition and modern architecture. The room, the equipment, the furniture- all fantastic.

There is nothing to complain about. It is pricey, yes, but it is worth it.
