Suiboku shows just how far ski accommodation in Niseko has come from the old days of log cabins and fireplaces. These loft-style apartments have a cool, industrial feel that’s softened with warm, natural materials and stylish Japanese touches. Located right in the center of Hirafu, Suiboku gives you a cozy, modern escape while the snow falls outside.
The name “Suiboku” comes from traditional Japanese ink painting, known for its shades of grey—a theme you’ll see throughout the apartments. Living room walls are lined with tall shelves filled with a mix of traditional and modern sculptures, vases, and interesting books.
Inside, concrete kitchen and dining tables flow into sunken lounge areas with daybeds, faux fur rugs, and comfy pillows. Huge windows frame views of snow-covered Mt. Yotei—also visible from the luxurious 2m x 2m Japanese-style ofuro bath in the penthouse. It’s an impressive setup.
Each apartment includes gas fireplaces, books, magazines, and games like Jenga, Scrabble, Monopoly, and chess. There’s also a selection of music and movies, iPod dock, and fast wired internet. The kitchens are fully equipped with top-quality appliances like Nespresso machines, Gaggenau ovens, and Miele dishwashers—all centered around long concrete dining tables that bring everyone together.
