The Niseko Long-Stay Guide

One month minimum. Most guests stay 2–4 months across the Niseko ski season (December through March).

Everything except your flights and food: furnished room, fibre Wi-Fi, electricity, water, heating, kitchen and bathroom supplies, optional weekly cleaning, car access, daily community ski trips, and access to all shared spaces.

From $2,000 USD per month for a shared room up to about $14,000 USD for a private master suite, depending on month and room type. Discounted 4-month season packages are available. First month rent + 1-month refundable security deposit is required to move in.

Fibre to the home with work-grade speeds — fast enough for video calls, large file transfers, streaming and gaming simultaneously. Desks in every bedroom plus quiet corners in the shared lounges.
