It was already about 29 years ago. When I lived in Kutchan for work, I used to visit there from time to time. A relaxing interior, soothing scenery, and delicious curry. It's nostalgic. I don't have much time right now, but I'll definitely visit again.

We had an excellent stay at Bistare Kana and are very glad we stayed there instead of one of the much more expensive hotels while we were in Niseko. The owner and his family are very friendly and accommodating, and provide an amazing complementary breakfast every morning at 8:00. The rooms are basic, but there are nice shared amenities available, including a coin operated washer and drier. The bathrooms and showers are nice and very clean, it never felt crowded since there are only 5 or 6 guest rooms in the building. Over all excellent week!

This establishment has a “wabi sabi” style. The bathroom and amenities are rustic and shared but priced accordingly, so they deserve 5 stars. The maître d' Yama-san is charming and helpful.The Nepalese theme, the handmade decor, the meals, the local sake, the proximity to Niseko Anapuri ski lifts; it’s all genuine hospitality with a heartfelt integrity.

This is an inn I stayed at recently in Niseko.The room was a little small, but it was fine for just sleeping. When I turn on the heater, it gets very hot.Two toilets have washletsThere are only two showers in the bathroom.Washing machine and dryer available (extra charge)The couple seemed to run the restaurant and the inn, and they were a very nice couple. I especially liked her husband's gentle personality.It was an inn that I would want to stay at again if I had the chance.

Highly recommend for accommodation and/or dinner!Amazing staff, Yamasan and his family were so kind and made you feel welcomed and at home! The place is so cozy and has a great atmosphere.If you’re staying there they provide a fantastic and healthy breakfast to start your day. We also had dinner here one night which was delicious curry (has vegetarian options too)Location is in a quiet area, somewhat far from the hill, and close to a bus stop. Huge plus is that you get a drive every morning and you can ski right to the place at the end of the day from Annupuri (be sure to ask about the route back)This place is also a 5 minute walk away from a great Onsen that you get a discount on if you’re staying here.We had a great time!
