Where should you actually stay in Niseko?
Niseko is one mountain with 4 resorts on its flanks, all on a single lift pass. You can ski between them up top, and a shuttle runs between the bases for when you'd rather not. It's 2 to 3 hours from New Chitose airport depending on how you travel, sitting directly under the storms that roll off Siberia, cross the Sea of Japan and unload on Hokkaido all winter. That's the whole reason anyone flies here.
The snow's the same wherever you sleep. The holiday isn't.

Book it in this order
- Somewhere to stay. Book this first. Everything else can move. Your beds can't.
- Flights to New Chitose. That's Sapporo's airport. You don't need to stop in Tokyo.
- Lift passes. Cheaper bought ahead than at the ticket window.
- Lessons and hire gear. Ski school fills up earlier than the hotels do. If anyone's learning, don't leave this one.
- Dinner.
