Hirafu Village, Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan

Located in the center of Hirafu village, luxury modern home Mukashi Mukashi is positioned with almost instant access to all Hirafu’s features.

Offering stunning views of the neighboring forest, the house shares the block with some of Hirafu’s most beloved nightlife spots. Gyu+ bar (the famous fridge door bar) is a little downhill, while popular downtempo dive bar Moon Bar is a little up the street.

With 6 spectacular ensuite bedrooms Mukashi Mukashi sleeps 14 people with ease and is decorated to compliment the local culture, while in-floor heating and dual access ensure guest comfort and convenience.

This property is perfectly suited for families or large groups who want easy access to both the Grand Hirafu resort area and the vibrant après scene in Hirafu village.

An oversized open plan kitchen and dining area make Mukashi Mukashi perfect for entertaining with even the largest gathering.

There is a quiet lounge area with gas burning fireplace, floor to ceiling windows and inviting lounges. The media room is complete with a 70inch TV in addition to the oversize lounge, bean-bags, and fully adjustable lighting system.

At Mukashi Mukashi’s heart is a gas fireplace: housed in glass on both sides, it creates a window that looks into the living room and through to the forests surrounding Hirafu Village.

Undercover garage, expansive laundry, ski storage and dry room and a side room for helpers or nannies are all on the first level.

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).
