Book Chalet Koho, Luxury Vacation Rentals by ZEKKEI

Chalet Koho

Hirafu Village, Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan

KŌHŌ is a wonderful 3-bedroom chalet, including a kids’ bunk room, for a family getaway to the powder capital of Niseko.

Fully renovated in 2015, it is a place to share time with family and friends, or just curl up with a book in front of the crackling wood fireplace.

On the first floor, the custom kitchen, dining buffet table, and sofa are all custom designed into their own nooks, and highlighted with recessed lighting.

The dining table was also custom, using the naturally whitish Hokkaido Sen wood.

The second floor is home to two generous, ensuite bedrooms.

The third bedroom is a bunk room, perfect for the kids, and also has a designated TV area.

The large decks are a great place for a BBQ in summer or winter, or perhaps sip a cup of hot chocolate after a day on the mountain.

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).
