Niseko is a world-famous powder destination renowned for its incredible snow conditions, delectable local cuisine, a wide variety of things to see and do, and luxury accommodations promising a ski holiday of ultimate opulence and comfort. The geothermically-rich ski resort area also lends itself to natural onsens, some of which are piped directly into hotels, chalets, and villas, providing guests with the leisure of their own in-house onsen without even having to step foot outside.
Onsens are natural hot springs with geothermically heated water that can be found in abundance throughout Japan’s mountainous terrain. Packed with minerals, onsens are not only relaxing but also incredibly beneficial for your physical wellbeing. Therapeutic benefits include boosting blood circulation, reducing stress and promoting sleep, relieving pain and muscle aches, and improving skin conditions. Onsen bathing is also an intrinsic part of Japanese culture, with written recordings of the practice dating back to the 1st century. Staying at accommodation with onsen is the ultimate way to combine your ski holiday with one of Japan’s most treasured cultural and therapeutic experiences.
Hotels with Public Onsens
Many Niseko hotels have public onsen onsite, with separate facilities for men and women. These onsen facilities are available to hotel guests and some of them can also be used by non-staying guests for a fee. In public onsens, even those located in your own hotel, it is important to follow onsen etiquette, which only enhances the cultural experience.
Accommodation with Private Onsen
Some of Niseko’s most indulgent properties also offer private onsen. These are most commonly found in chalets and holiday homes although there are increasingly more condominium suites that offer this luxury. Private onsen is exclusively for guests of the particular suites or villas, making it the perfect option for those seeking privacy and exclusivity. Private onsen offer the same geothermic hot-spring water as public onsen, with all its renowned health benefits.
Accommodation with Japanese style Bath Tubs
More commonly than private onsen, many accommodations offer Japanese-style baths. The bathrooms often resemble a traditional Japanese onsen, typically with hinoki (Japanese cypress) or stone baths, but instead of being filled with hot-spring water they are filled from the tap. Some are even designed to retain the heat of the water so that they don’t need to be emptied and refilled between uses. Japanese family members always share the water, washing thoroughly with soap, shampoo etc. in the shower before entering the bath, which they leave as immaculately clean as the water in a public onsen.
Accommodation with Hot Tubs and Jacuzzis
Last but not least, private jacuzzi or hot tubs are plentiful at accommodations throughout Niseko, and require little introduction. These are most often located outdoor, allowing guests to enjoy the spectacular vistas Niseko has to offer.
We have put together a list of Niseko accommodations with private onsen, jacuzzi/hot tub, or Japanese-style bathtub to help you choose the best accommodation with onsen for your visit to this powder paradise.
