I liked the cleanness and cozy atmosphere in the house. The wisdom and the hospitality of the host was marvelous. Also, the view from the room was breathtaking. The living room was comfortable to stay, the bathroom on each floor was very convenient, and the laundry room was a big plus to my whole experience. I would like to go back again and again!

The showers are located on the first floor while the bedrooms are located on the third floor, so you may find it troublesome having to climb up and down.

The apartment is very well designed and cosy.

This is an awesome place to stay in Kutchan. Conveniently located: 5min walk to convenience stores and restaurants, 10min walk to the station. It is technically a guest house, but the property and amenities are brand new and/or well-maintained, and so incredibly clean that it feels more like a high-end vacation villa. The owner is also very pleasant and will give you advice and recommendations for your visits in the area.

Very nice place with a beautiful view on Mt Yotei. Very clean and cozy. Owner was really great and had a good time with a lot of food and good conversation. The owner even drove to different places to drop me off. Free of charge. Would recommend to anyone!

We really enjoyed our stay at Slope. The room was spacious and everything in the building was extremely well thought through with amazing attention to detail. It felt like a home away from home and was warm and cozy after a big day in the snow. The facilities were exceptionally clean, and Keni the owner was a wonderful host. He gave us great restaurant recommendations, drove us to the nearby ski slopes for free, and even drove us to our next destination about an hour away (for a very reasonable fee) after we realised the public transport there wasn't going to work out. I would stay here again myself and would absolutely recommend others to stay here too.

My only small complaint, and it is very personal, would be that I did not like the double mattress.

The house is carefully designed and prepared. It feels cozy and welcoming and it has everything you need for your stay. Kiki san is the best host I have ever had, he is an amazing man. Welcoming and kind, he went that extra mile for me to make my trip incredible. Driving me back and forth to rent skiing equipment and then dropping me at Niseko for my ski day. He also takes care of dropping you at the station and taking care of you.

Beautiful place. With nice views on the mountains. SLOPE is a great host.

I really lucked out with my recent stay at Slope guesthouse. I mainly chose the accommodation based on the off-season price and the view of the beautiful mountain from the bedroom window, and since I'd been moving around quite a lot since coming to Japan, I decided to slow down and take advantage of the affordability by booking the guesthouse for 16 nights. Turns out, this was brilliant because not only is the guesthouse top-notch so far as accommodations go, but the host, Kimi, is a super nice guy who helped me plan my days and even drove me to several places that were more remote and not so easily accessible via public transportation. Slope is the perfect combination of a luxury private room and a welcoming shared facility where I made new friends from China and the Netherlands. So I had a very relaxing, but fun and interesting break for two-plus weeks in which I was spoiled by the most comfortable bed so I got plenty of rest, and when my time there was up, I felt kind of reluctant to move on. 🤷‍♀️

The owner is doing all to help you. He books tours for you and brings you to the meeting point. You can do a lot around there: hiking, rafting, kayaking. You can take the bus or train and go visit Sapporo or Otaru. There are many restaurants close by. They even have a nice museum about the natural history. The house is clean and spacious.

Excellent Host, very clean and moden apartment, full equipped kitchen, good location, nice decoration.... We have two small folding bikes and planned to do a round 羊蹄山 cycling. Kimi is so nice to propose us use an e-bike that make the trip easier. It is a good bike, My wife enjoy it very much. Thank you Kimi I would highly recommand SLOPE and we will surely be back !

Slope is the best guesthouse in Niseko! It is very clean and convenient. More importantly, House owner is super nice and friendly. At beginning, I planned to stay only 3 nights, but finally I extended the stay to 2 weeks. What’s more, I made friends with other guests here. In a word, I strongly recommend SLOPE. Next time I will choose to stay here too.

Everything is well-designed here and the host Kimi is super hospitable! Can not imagine staying in a guest room with more heart-warming and relaxing experience. No. 1 choice in Kutchan no matter your stay is for white or green season!

I couldn't think of anything at all. I truly enjoyed my stay. Location is great in the town of Kutchan. Without a car it could be a bit longer to get to the hill (20 mins to 30 mins by the shuttle bus) but it's already very convenient.

Kimi was the most hospitable and conscientious host I could have asked for. He answered all my questions and went out of his way to make sure my stay was comfortable. He was also extremely organized and had maps of the local area with restaurants on it as well as a detailed bus schedule! The room and common areas were very clean, enough linens were provided for my entire stay, a safe space in the garage to store my board and dry my boots and beds were super comfy after a long day of snowboarding. The stay had a clean kitchen for use, a cozy communal area (with a nice controlled wood stove for extra coziness!). Hanazono resort and the train station are a very short drive away. There are grocery stores and convenience stores all within a 10 minute walk as well.

I wish I was staying longer!! My stay at SLOPE was perfect, I was very happy that I chose to stay here. This is a new lodge which the owner spent more than a year rebuilding and customizing which has everything you need and more! The lodge has Wet and Dry snow gear storage, and immaculate bath and shower facilities down stairs. The bedrooms upstairs are very comfortable and each has a great view of the mountains. The main feature of the lodge is the communal lounge with kitchen facilities. Plenty of room for everyone to sit around the impressive fire place and enjoy ski movies on the big screen tv. The owner even made me a coffee every afternoon when I came back from skiing. SLOPE is only a few minutes walk to Kutchan's restaurant and bar district, and there is a post office and convenience store close by if you need supplies or an atm. It was an absolute pleasure to meet and chat with Kimi, the owner. He had many great suggestions for the local area and for me to try on the rest of my road trip around Hokkaido. I highly recommend anyone visiting Hokkaido for Niseko or Rusutsu to stay in Kutchan at SLOPE!
