“The host Ryo is a testament of brilliant Japanese hospitality. From the moment of arrival to the last lingering moments it was a place one didn't want to leave. My first night there was a proper Japanese hotpot dinner organised by Ryo to send off one of the guests who stayed for 3 months where everyone in the hostel were involved and contributed with deserts and drinks, just a like one big happy family and everyone of all ages and backgrounds happily exchanged their life experiences. It was unforgettable for me as well as some of the other guests who have kept coming back, it's hands down the best place to be in Niseko.”
