Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan

Bordering an idyllic mountain stream, Shakuzen is nestled within Hokkaido’s birch and oak forest, and the surrounding Hokkaido forest is captured through window “snapshots”, which will become the ever changing wall art.

With classic alpine lines juxtaposed into a bold cantilevered structure, the twin Shakuzen chalets Mori and Kawa are mirror images of each other.

Combining contemporary Japanese design with the Northern European influences, these twin 3 bedroom/2 bathroom chalets can comfortably sleep 9 guests, or be rented together to host 18 guests.

The large living room on the second floor is spacious under vaulted ceilings, with multiple areas to sit and chat, including an oversized bay window to curl up and read a book.

For the kid’s enjoyment, the large bunk room has its own media area, and a pull out bed under the bottom bunk, so the room can sleep 5 people.

The large living room is spacious under vaulted ceilings, with views of the forests and an idyllic creek.

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).
