The story since 2008
Welcome
At Ramat Niseko, our team from Australia and Japan is here to make your stay easy, fun, and unforgettable. Just over a kilometre from the main village and two kilometres from the lifts, our lodges give you the perfect mix of comfort and convenience. Each morning starts right with an included breakfast, followed by our free first tracks shuttle that gets you to the lifts early so you can carve through fresh snow before the crowds.
From chasing powder and riding the lifts to relaxing with new friends in the lodge, you’ll find the atmosphere welcoming and the memories lasting. We pride ourselves on being the friendliest ski lodges in Niseko, where every guest feels at home from the moment they arrive.
Check out our 45-second video for a glimpse of the snow, the fun, and life inside Ramat Niseko.
Choose Your Lodge
Ramat is the social heart of the two lodges: the bar pours from 5pm, the pool table is free, and Mt Yotei fills the windows on both floors. Rooms run from private kings and twins to shared bunks, so couples, crews and families all fit.
Snowgum is the bigger, quieter base: a full commercial kitchen if you like cooking, two lounges for spreading out, and rooms from twins to six-bed bunks plus the self-contained Villa. It sits next door to Ramat, so the bar, the pool table and your new riding buddies are a short stroll away.
It has everything you could ever want in a holiday location; spectacular scenery, affordable rooms, and plenty of activities to keep you occupied for the duration of your stay.

Planning a ski trip to Niseko is more than just choosing dates and booking a place to stay; it’s about creating an experience that blends
Niseko winter trips tend to come together fast. One minute, people are casually talking about a Japan snowboard trip, and the next, flights are booked,
