Moiwa Lodge is located in prime position right on the slopes of Niseko-Moiwa.
The slopeside access at Moiwa Lodge is a rarity in the area and the envy of other accommodations in Niseko. Having your breakfast overlooking the slopes of Niseko will be all the motivation you need to get the first tracks of the day!
Moiwa Lodge is the ideal place to explore the area and all that the Japanese winter has to offer ... endless powder, fantastic terrain, relaxed atmosphere and small crowds. Roll out of bed, put your gear on, and you have powder out the door.
Moiwa Lodge is approx. 3 minutes by car/shuttle from Annupuri ski lifts, 5 minutes from Niseko Town, 10 minutes from Hirafu, and 15 minutes from Kutchan. Intermediate skiers and boarders can ski-in easily from Annupuri.

Niseko is in Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan.
There´s no need to add to the hype surrounding Niseko. The bottom line is that for reliable, day after day powder skiing and
riding there is nowhere on earth that compares. Obscene amounts of snow, which falls winter long with typically Japanese dependability,
combined with classic tree skiing terrain, long groomers and some wide open alpine, make all the hype justified.
Made up of 5 resorts - Grand Hirafu‚ Higashiyama‚ Annupuri‚ Hanazono and our home Moiwa, Niseko is big enough to cater for all tastes. Plenty of beginner and intermediate runs are found side by side with off-piste advanced areas. Despite the constant snowfall visibility usually isn´t a problem on the lower part of the mountain so even when the weather is bad up high there is enough to keep you busy down low, and the consistent cold temperatures keep the snow in good condition even in town.
Most of the lifts are either gondola´s or covered chairlifts keeping you in relative comfort even when it´s dumping. There is a good half pipe and terrain park for those who can drag themselves away from the powder, and Niseko has Japan´s biggest lit ski area, letting you ski or ride, even in the trees, until 9pm.
Moiwa is the ‘hidden gem’ of the Niseko 5.
Whist relatively unknown, Moiwa offers without doubt some of the best terrain of the entire Niseko area. Away from the ‘Aussie-ville’ feel of Hirafu, Moiwa is crowd-free. While the masses are battling over the last little scrap of powder in and around Hirafu, you will be waist deep at Moiwa wondering where all the crowds went. This also means the snow stays deeper and softer for longer. With a covered high speed quad out your door that gets you all 1.5kms to the top in no time, Moiwa is the perfect place to enjoy.
