Freedom Inn is in Niseko nearby Hanazono Ski Resort. It is run mostly by helpful and friendly Australian staff. The theme of the inn is western country style with a fireplace. I booked this inn through Booking.com. In a clear day, you should be able to view Mount Yotei, which is about 12 km away on a straight line. Our group likes this inn most among the hotels that we stayed in Hokkaido, they loved this inn.
