Great location for skiing; unreliable taxi access

Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable lodge. The bed was a bit dusty near the pillow and I have allergies. One suggestion I’d like to make is allow guests to sign up for a group evening shuttle at a certain time to nearby restaurants (for a fee) and then back at a certain time. Seems most meals in restaurants take 2 hours. It’s nice to try out different restaurants after a day of skiing and it’s a bummer when taxis take over an hour wait and charges 10,000 yen from Moiwa to Hirafu because they have to send a car from Kutchan. A twice-a-week free evening shuttle isn’t enough when some restaurants aren’t near Hirafu.

Far and away

It is jus so far removed from everything and since they have you they charge you a pretty penny for everything. For example they charged 600 yen for a beer and said it a great deal. You can buy the same beer at a nicer hotel lobby down the street for 270 yen. Its a nice place if you want to be away from everything and have little access to anything else.

Great location, great views, thin walls

Great lodge, very comfortable. Walls are thin, so be prepared to hear everything your guests do, but a great location for access to moiwa.

Home for ski vacation

We had the best stay at Moiwa lodge and when we come back (not if) would not consider staying anywhere else. The staff were fantastic, the rooms were perfectly warm and cozy and it felt like coming home each day after an adventure. The staff were also very helpful in recommending local attractions such as onsens and what resort would be best to ski each day.

Cozy with a warm and friendly staff

Great skiing to be had at Moiwa, if you don't like crowds. Super friendly and helpful staff. Cozy atmosphere, and very friendly people. Food offered was good, and a great little bar. Would recommend having a car though if you are going to stay here and want to see other parts of Niseko. Moiwa is a little bit far removed from the other resorts of Niseko United. They do offer shuttles to the skiing but if you miss them or just want to pop over to Hirafu one evening it is going to be 4000 yen each way for a taxi.

Good value for what you paid for.

1) The lodge is far from town or any amenities. The nearest convenient store is about 20 minutes walk to One Niseko Tower Hotel where it has a tiny convenient store located at the hotel lobby. 2) The lodge provides pick up in limited spots, so have to arrange pick up-drop up prior to your arrival. 3) Staff are all very friendly and speak wonderful English. 4) The lodge is nearby a chairlift to Annupuri - which is good. 5) The room is too cold, fortunately the blanket is thick enough to keep me warm through the night. 6) The wash basin area is without heating. Too cold. 7) There's a bar and a restaurant inside the lodge. Serve western breakfast only as I didn't see any Japanese style food being displayed. 8) Some guests are noisy and loud. Bring ear plugs. 9) Spacious common area with a great view. Weak wi-fi tho. 10) Affordable and nice outdoor hot spring resort nearby. Entrance fee only costs 800 yen. Good value.

Unpretentious comfortable stay at Moiwa Lodge

Moiwa Lodge is an unpretentious old-style ski lodge. There's nothing fancy about the facility, but the atmosphere is magical. The staff are cheerful, knowledgeable and passionate about skiing/riding the Moiwa area. The rooms are spartan and the showers shared, but you're not there to spend time in your room. Hanging out in the common areas and bar interacting with the staff and other guests will make the stay memorable. Oh, and did I mention the skiing? Powderific!

Great place to stay

Great place to stay with really helpful and super-friendly staff. Great social spaces upstairs to meet people and chat about skiing/snow conditions etc. Location is great for skiing Mt. Moiwa but things can be tricky if you want to go for a meal in Hirafu. Stayed in a 12 person dorm, which was a bit busy during peak season (but at least it wakes you up for the morning skiing!). I'd definitely stay there again.

Awesome stay and friendly staff

Lovely experience moving from a ryokan at Noboribetsu to a lodge at Moiwa. The staff made it a very intimate experience. The lodge was clean and we have a great view of the slopes from room 201. The walls very abit thin but it's a lodge anyway. Thanks to the crew, Dirk, Erin, Helen, Keegan and special mention to Megan who was super helpful.
