Hirafu Village, Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan

Although built to withstand the area’s cold, snowy winters in the most environmentally sustainable way, the sumptuous 4-bedroom Chalet Mizunara is a wonderful mountain oasis any time of the year.

The clever combination of concrete walls with oak wood flooring, exposed brick walls, modern minimalist furniture and warm soft lighting creates a very chic and sophisticated vibe throughout.

Chalet Mizunara comfortably sleeps 10 people.

The 2 master bedrooms upstairs are furnished with split king-size beds and ensuite bathrooms with a shower and bathtub.

The ground floor incorporates a guest bedroom with a queen-size bed and an additional bedroom with bunk beds – handy if you’re traveling with a larger group or if you have adventurous children.

Both bedrooms share a spacious bathroom fitted with a shower and a bathtub.

The kitchen and living areas are generous enough to accommodate a group of 10, while the chalet’s innovative architecture, split-level design and floor-to-ceiling windows encourage a genuine sense of personal space and a ‘Zen’-like atmosphere – especially against the spectacular backdrop of Mount Yotei.

Situated in Hirafu’s lower village, the chalet is only a few minutes’ walk from most of the area’s restaurants and bars, as well as the Grand Hirafu ski gondola.

Exuding designer chic and modern grandeur, Chalet Mizunara would perfectly fit a family or a group of friends looking to experience the best of what Hirafu has to offer, surrounded by swish luxury – come winter or summer.

Located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido and overlooking the active volcano of Mount Yotei – a smaller version of Mount Fuji – Hirafu, one of Niseko’s 4 separate but interconnected ski resorts, is blessed with some of the driest, lightest and most abundant snows on Earth.
Despite an average yearly snowfall of 15 metres, Hirafu also enjoys comfortable summers. Its untamed volcanic landscape, excellent hiking trails and increasing reputation as a wellness haven, make it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts all year-round.
Chalet Mizunara is conveniently located in Hirafu’s lower village close to many of its popular restaurants and entertainment venues.
It is a mere 10-minute walk from the Grand Hirafu Ski Gondola. An on-call driver will be happy to drive you to and from the gondola and any other locations within Hirafu village. There are also free shuttle buses that will take you to any of the other Niseko resorts.
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).
