Niseko Town, Hokkaido, Japan

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Shiribetsu River, Hiyoku was designed to welcome in the expansive vistas of Mount Yotei, the river, and the neighboring farm.

This is the perfect place for families or groups who want a private location to relax and reconnect.

There is a generous living, dining and kitchen area for the whole party.

The kitchen is thoughtfully laid out for cooking up hearty feasts, and a wood-burning fireplace adds welcoming warmth and charm.

Chalet Hiyoku sleeps 10 guests comfortably. The layout is adaptable to the growing family, plus the occasional visit from friends and extended family.

In the master bedroom, guests can drop their laundry from the ensuite bathroom directly into the laundry room below.

The bunk room is great for kids or adults, with 4 “pods” each having private space with their own reading light, window and small cabinet.

The tatami room gives the maximum flexibility, comfortably sleeping up to 2 adults or 3 children.

And with 3 massive, sliding doors, the media room can be completely closed off to become a fourth bedroom.

At its heart, Hiyoku is a skier’s pad, and the attention to detail in the gear room shows that elevated position.

The chunky larch stools and bench were milled from a massive larch felled on site, bespoke pieces that mean to give thanks to the site itself.

Hiyoku means “flying wing”, because the light, floating roof looks like it is about to take off.

The clerestory windows naturally vent the house in summer, and also give the impression the roof is floating.

Triple glazed, high efficiency glass helps to keep the running costs down, as does the radiant heat of the stone encased fireplace.

Nestled in a towering larch grove, the near views of the forest are incorporated into the house with a large bay window, which doubles as a reading nook.

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Shiribetsu River, Chalet Hiyoku is a calm place for the family to regroup and reconnect away from their urban life.
It is in the peaceful fields of the Tomikawa region, about 15 minutes by car from prime ski resorts.
During the summer season, you can explore the surrounding Niseko region or simply relax in the reading nook of the large bay windows and admire the neighbouring forests.
Tomikawa is not serviced by buses, and thus it is best to hire a car.
Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan

A world-class ski destination, Niseko receives 14m of snow per season on average. Offering 38 lifts, 4 developed, inter-linked resorts, 47km of groomed slopes, 1000m of vertical, and the longest run stretching 5600m, Niseko is the largest of Hokkaido’s ski areas, and overall the most well-rounded winter resort on the island.
There is a good mix of groomed runs for all levels, from first-timers through expert powder hounds. There is also a terrain park with half-pipes, table tops, round quarters and rails etc… a variety of terrain to suit boarders of different abilities.
That being said, novices going down the slope for the first time may want to avoid the crowds in peak powder season and consider some of the quieter times (spring).
