Hakuchōzan: An Award-Winning Ski Chalet in Niseko Hirafu
H2 Christie’s International Real Estate proudly presents Hakuchōzan, a seven-bedroom luxury ski chalet in the prestigious Hirafu Village of Niseko. Japanese for “Swan Mountain,” the property was inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, with the swan symbolizing grace, beauty, and enduring love. Conceived as a multi-generational family retreat, the chalet blends communal spaces and private nooks, allowing loved ones to gather or enjoy quiet reflection, all while offering panoramic views of Mt. Yotei.
The chalet features seven en-suite bedrooms, an outdoor jacuzzi deck with fireplace and BBQ, a man cave bar, game room, elevator, and a single-car garage. It is fully furnished and includes amenities such as a fireplace and garage. The property is fully serviced under the Haku Life Collection, which includes a butler and private chef, delivering Niseko’s only six-star chalet experience. As the original luxury service chalet in Niseko and the only property offering a six-star service model, it was the first to charge over JPY 1,000,000 per night and remains a rare asset delivering fully managed ultra-luxury living. Winner of four World Ski Awards for Japan’s Best Ski Chalet (2018, 2019, 2020 & 2023), Hakuchōzan represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully managed, multi-generational luxury ski property. Excluded from the sale are sports memorabilia, an art piece in the stairwell, and two sandstone sculptures.
Property details include a year built of 2016, with water supply and sewer service available at the street. The surroundings offer a hill/mountain view. The location is moments away from the Yukemuri Street shuttle stop, allowing quick, car‑free access to the lifts; Hirafu’s free village shuttle runs every 20–30 minutes during winter, linking Lower Hirafu to lifts and other resort areas. The nearest train station (Hirafu) is about 5.5 km away, and New Chitose Airport is roughly 110 km from the property. It is a 4‑minute walk to the village centre, an 8‑minute walk (3‑minute drive) to the Family Chair Lift at Grand Hirafu, a 5-minute walk to Seicomart convenience store, and premium supermarkets and delis are roughly 1 km away. Hidden Gems such as Rin, Yakitori Yamanchu and Izakaya Koharuya are just a short walk away, and the nearest restaurants and bars are approximately 0.5 km from the property. Yukoro Onsen, providing an authentic hot‑spring experience, is just a short stroll away.
Located in prestigious Lower Hirafu, Hakuchōzan offers seamless access to Niseko’s world-class ski slopes, boutique dining and vibrant après-ski scene. Set on a quiet road for privacy yet just moments from shuttle stops, restaurants and bars, it delivers the perfect balance of alpine tranquillity and year-round energy in Niseko’s most desirable neighbourhood. The area is famed for its incredibly light, dry powder snow, attracting skiers and snowboarders from across the globe. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Yotei, an iconic, perfectly symmetrical volcano often referred to as the "Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido," which provides a breathtaking backdrop visible from the chalet.
