How do you find cheap accommodation/share for long term stay in Niseko? I am living and working from November through to April.
Is there anyone that can assist me? There will be two of us???
Cheers :)

The words "cheap accommodation" and Japan don't go together well. Niseko is in a fairly isolated region so basically you pay their prices or go without.

Having said that Niseko has a railway station so you can get in from elsewhere.

Even travellerspoint had no accommodation there or near there so you might try:

Or see if you can hire an apartment there or near there since you will be there for months.

Book something fairly soon as I would think rooms fill up quickly.

As it's a ski resort I should imagine it will be quite cold in winter, like when you are there. I remember a blizzard in part of Japan one year when I was there, so they do have some bad weather at times, and in places.
