I was just looking at some of the accommodation listings on the site for Niseko.
I remember talk of nice new places being built all the time etc, but there really are some very nice looking places appearing of late.
I won't be going this season, but just out of curiosity, is there much traditional Japanese-style accommodation left up there - or is lots of it new or being converted to new?

Are pensions "traditional Japanese-style"?
Then again, I bet most Irish pubs in Asia sell themselves as "traditional".

You're probably right GN in that that is what is meant, but if you ask the tourist office at any Japanese ski resort for "traditional Japanese-style accomodation", they wouldn't put you in a pension. For pension in Japanese, Japanese wikipedia says "western style minshuku (family run accommodation), usually serving western food".

I wouldn't call a pension traditional Japanese style. Niseko seems quite unique in all those lovely looking apartments going up etc. Must say, I really like a quality modern Japanese style ryokan.
