Before you book
Drawn from what the record actually shows about this property — not from staying here. Where the data says nothing, neither do we.
- 01 Winter only — it does not take summer bookings
Booking sites show summer dates here as unavailable, which reads like a demand problem and is a season problem. If you are travelling outside the snow season, start elsewhere.

Questions
- Is My Ecolodge open in summer?
- No. It is a winter property. Most of Niseko closes outside the ski season, and booking sites show those dates as sold out rather than saying the place is shut.
- How far is My Ecolodge from central Hirafu?
- About 2 km (read 2026-09-09). That is the distance to the centre of Hirafu village, which is not the same as the distance to a lift — we publish the measure we can verify for every property rather than the one that flatters.
- Does My Ecolodge have its own website?
- Yes — my-eco-lodge.com. Booking direct is sometimes cheaper than through a platform, and the property's own site is the only place its policies are stated first-hand.
- How much does My Ecolodge cost?
- It sits in the ¥ band — under ¥60,000 a night at peak (read 2026-09-09). Rates move with the season and with how far ahead you book, so treat the band as the shape rather than the number and check live rates.
- What do guests complain about at My Ecolodge?
- Its lowest published sub-score is comfort at 8.5, against 8.6 for facilities (read 2026-09-09). On a ten-point scale a low sub-score is relative rather than damning, but it is where the criticism concentrates.
