The accomodation is extremely basic, as is the food.. however the owners are lovely and the location is across the road from the Annpurri ski lifts .
Overall , value for money location , dining and the people .. I would rate it a 6 out of 10.
We stayed for one wonderful week, with 1 room for 3, and 1 double room for 1. Our hosts provided for everything, including delicious dinners, one a sushi dinner and the other a pork based dinner. Both were beautifully done and a great way to experience traditional Japanese food. As a bonus for skiiers the Inn was only about 200 yards from the Annupuri gondola and walking distance to a variety of local restaurants. A delightful experience overall.
The hosts were such nice people and made our stay very comfortable and homey. The dinner (to be booked in advance) was an amazing 5-courses of french cuisine and was a highlight...the best steak and best french onion soup I've ever had. Easy walking distance in ski boots to the gondola/quad and a few restaurants nearby to go out. It was nice that there were authentic parts of the Inn that kept a Japanese charm while making it very accommodating to tourists. I was a bit hesitant to stay on the Annupurni side away from some of the action of niseko/hirafu but was very happy with my chose to stay at Pension Cotton Farm and at Annupurni.
This pension was a delightful find for our first trip to the Niseko ski area. It was about 200 yards from the Annupuri gondola and quad chair. Takeshi-san and Naoko-san were very gracious and helpful hosts. Breakfast (a variety, each day was different) was included and we arranged two dinners, one sushi based and the other pork based. Very enjoyable! They also have a selection of delicious homemade fruit liqueurs. Hosts also very helpful with local info and tickets. A wonderful chance to experience traditional style of small hotel snd Japanese hospitality.
These are lovely people who are genuinely just nice people. They have run this pension for 40 years and its 3rd generation, all whom which still work their bar the Patriach Granfather whosed passed.
The Matriach Grandma still works here at 92. Her daughter and husband run the place and do all the cleaning and cooking and daily chores along with their extremely helpful daughter.
The pension is 200 metres from runs. Its basic but its clean and its warm and its homely. Because its their year round home. So they have skin in the game. It wont be for those who want luxury stay.
Personally I'd much rather stay at a place like this with a heartbeat, than a 5 star Hilton type place, where staff are paid to be sycophants.
Couldnt recommend it enough. Just beautiful people.

The family who own and run this Pension are great hosts! We were made to feel very special and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We loved staying at Cotton Farm. The host family cares so much about their guests and making sure that everyone is taken care of. Naoko-san really takes her time to communicate and ensure you are comfortable. Her husband cooks delicious breakfast, and gave us a ride in his personal car to the hospital when my partner broke his ankle. Michi-san is the happiest and has the sweetest smile. We also enjoyed meeting Naoko’s daughter and her husband.
The facilities are clean, and we loved that the furo tub in the bathroom was very hot. There is lots of space for boards in the front area. The beds and rooms are comfy. Although the walls are a little thin, most guests are conscientious and courteous of keeping volume down. FYI, there are stairs in case you have crutches.
We were VERY happy to stay here and feel grateful to have found Cotton Farm. We hope to come back.
The family there are amazing. They are super helpful and will go out of their way to accommodate. Reminder that Japanese customs follow set processes very closely, if you veer from the process you will not get the reception you are looking for. You can walk to the Annupuri slopes from the B&B. You can request dinner, at a cost, and must request at least 1 night ahead. You can walk from Nook Annupuri ski area and also from Annupuri northern resort (where the buses pick up)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Very friendly
Great hostel for skiers looking for a nice clean pleasant and convenient stay in Annupuri
Very nice bed and breakfast right next to Annupuri. Very friendly and helpful staff. Just note that you need to check in before 8pm. If you plan on arriving later you must make arrangements well in advance.
This little homestay hotel was great! It was located right next to the ski lift and it was literally a one minute walk to get to the lifts! The hosts were amazing...they don’t speak much English, but they helped us out with renting our skis and snowboard which was brought to us the next morning. They also get a discount for lift tickets. Lift tickets are cash only and rentals you can use credit card. Breakfast is served every morning and the dining area is cozy and has a fireplace to warm up in. You do have to share bathroom, but they were clean. There are a few restaurants just a few doors down, the pizza place was great. On our last day when we asked them to call a taxi for us, the guy offered to drive us to the train station for free! We would definitely stay here again.
Amazing service by the owners providing breakfast each morning. They do everything they can to ensure your stay is welcome. Traditional baths, cheap reasonable stay with minimum 2 people for Niseko accommodation. Easy access to the annupuri lifts and Niseko bus to other mountain access.
We had a lovely few days staying at Pension Cotton Farm and skiing in the Niseko area. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly, organizing lift passes and dinner for us on several occasions. It's a beautiful large house only a couple of minutes walk from the Annupuri gondola and we'll definitely come back on future trips to Niseko.
