We loved exploring Sapporo’s Susukino district with OMO Hotels.  The rooms were modern and clean with an amazing rainfall shower and unlimited amenities.  OMO’s goal is for all their guests to have then best trip possible while immersing with the local culture.  Sapporo had a vibrant food culture and OMO Rangers were on hand for daily info sessions and walking tours around the area.  They helped us find hidden gems in the surrounding area and can even assist in hard to obtain reservations at popular restaurants.  You can also check out their GO-KINJO interactive map, located in the lobby, which has tried and tested spots by all the staff.  A QR code helps you locate each spot on your phone making it that much easier to explore.  Book a special package that includes vouchers for the Sapporo’s historic Ramen Alley.  There you can try a variety of the city’s popular miso ramen and soak in the ambiance of the buzzing hotspot.  Each morning we indulged in onigiri, sandwiches, and freshly brewed coffee at OMO’s Food and Beverage station.  Open 24 hours a day you’ll find locally produced snacks and drinks and plenty of social spaces to enjoy the fare and relax with family and friends.  The staff at OMO consistently went out of their way to ensure our family had a stay to remember.  From translating to locating transport and even sending our luggage to the next destination.  Everything was always done with a helpful and warm smile.  A perfect choice if you want to see the local side of Sapporo and explore off the tourist track.

Chalet Ivy is the ideal family friendly choice when traveling to Niseko.  Located just a few minutes walk from the world famous slopes you’ll be sure to have a stay to remember.  We loved the spacious and open suites featuring private balconies, full kitchens, and onsen bathtubs.  Chalet Ivy’s dining experiences are incredible using fresh Hokkaido ingredients to create impressive omakase menus as well as casual meals.  We made full use of the hotel’s well equipped gym and complimentary laundry room and the indoor and outdoor onsens were a calming sanctuary after a day of skiing.  Private Onsen rooms are available for a tranquil bathing experience as a family and a free shuttle is on hand for all guests to access the ski lifts and nearby train station. Their friendly staff are on hand to ensure a seamless and comfortable stay and eager to make recommendations or answer any questions. One of our favorite spots for family stays in Hokkaido.

Treat your family to a five star ski vacation at Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz Carlton Reserve.  The stunning property boasts elegant and stylish interiors, personalized service for each guest, unforgettable dining experiences, and world class guestrooms.  As a family of four we fit comfortably in two connecting rooms.  Each space featured sumptuous beds, a cozy lounge area, and decadent onsen style bathtubs.  Direct views of Mt. Yotei greeted us each day and the attention to detail in the amenities and housekeeping ensured a truly luxurious stay.  We throughly enjoyed the dining options at Higashiyama and highly recommend their restaurants which serve fresh Hokkaido ingredients in an intimate and sophisticated setting.  The breakfast buffet was ever changing with healthy fare, Japanese specialities, and a la carte options.  Both the lunch and dinner menu at Yukibana was mouthwatering with casual dishes or decadent tasting menus available.  Dinner at the sushi bar is a must if you want to try the freshest Hokkaido seafood while experiencing a traditional omakase, and we loved the ambiance in the bar area complete with open fire and snowy mountain views.  A free shuttle ensures you can easily reach Niseko’s world famous slopes and the hotel’s private and public onsens are a perfect way to unwind after a big day of skiing.

Andaru Niseko, set in the world renowned ski town, is the ideal luxury escape for your winter holiday.  The six standalone villas boast beautiful architectural design, unparalleled service, and luxury amenities sure to make your stay unforgettable.  We loved our villa split over two floors with private outdoor space, a tranquil lounge and dining area and even a compact kitchenette.  The sumptuous bedroom and modern bath is great for families and each villa allows plenty of privacy for the discerning guest.  Head to their in house restaurant, Ultimo, for mouthwatering Italian fare created using fresh Hokkaido ingredients or make full use of the complimentary car service and head into town for a taste of local fare.  You’ll have easy access to all the powder filled slopes and we couldn’t believe the stunning views of Mt.
