    Satoru and Tae San were excellent hosts and very hospitable. They truly made us feel at home. When we asked about where to put our snow equipment, Satoru kindly made a rack outside overnight. Both of them joined us for dinner one night, which...

    Everything! The location was perfect for driving to all of the resorts we wanted to visit but also close enough to Kutchan and Niseko for a short drive to ski and eat etc. The accommodation was perfectly clean and really large. Plenty of space...

    We are a big group and we were most delighted that there were toilet and shower on each floor. The host Satoru-san had provided little touches like a kettle in each room with cups, coffee and tea bags. These shows how much considerations were...

GURUGULU is a self-catering accommodation for who wants to have a relaxing and simple vacation in nature. Most of this buildings were handmade by ourselves for several years.The first floor of the building is guests' private space (2 rooms, kitchen, toilet, shower, washbasin) on the 2nd floor There is a living space shared by the host. located in the forest at the foot of Mt. Yotei which is Niseko's landmark, you can enjoy the spectacular view from all the rooms. We pump up the spring water of Mt. Yotei directly from the mouth of the water source. You can drink this mineral water comes out from the faucet. Mt. Yotei mineral water is selected as one of the 100 famous waters(This water has been inspected at the public health center and it's the highest water quality.) Besides that, we are doing unique trials, such as organic farming , small scale poultry and off-grid solar power generating.
I'm Satoru, owner of GURUGULU. Thank you for having a interest. My hobbies are mountain skiing and bonfire. Originally having worked for Osaka outdoor equipment company, I moved to Niseko 8 years ago and I live with my wife and cat and chickens. I started this guesthouse because I wanted to create a place where everyone could relax in the woods and enjoy outdoor activities. Recently, in addition to the outdoors, I am having fun trying for organic farming, poultry, spring water utilization.
GURUGULU is located in the Niseko area which is one of the outdoor lovers sanctuaries in the world. It is a place where you can enjoy all outdoor activities such as skiing and snowboarding in winter, cycling , rafting and climbing in summer. Although it is in the forest, you can reach convenience store, supermarket, DIY store in 5 minutes by car and JR Kutchan Station is only 9 minutes.
