Hachiko Niseko: A Boutique Chalet in Lower Hirafu
This contemporary three-bedroom chalet, completed in 2018, is situated in the lower Niseko Hirafu area of Kutchan, Hokkaido. Designed by Endo Architectural Atelier, the property offers 174.87 square meters of refined living space across three stories. The interior aesthetic is alpine-chic, utilizing natural materials and a palette of timber, grey, and white tones to create a calm and functional retreat.
The top floor features an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide views of Mount Yotei. A balcony extends the living space outdoors. The middle floor contains the master suite with an ensuite bathroom, a laundry room, and a dry room for ski gear storage. The lower floor houses two additional guest bedrooms and a shared bathroom.
Practical amenities include dedicated ski storage, central heating, Wi-Fi, Apple TVs, and private parking. The property is professionally managed by H2 Life. A notable feature is the adjacent corner plot of approximately 173 square meters, which offers potential for building a second villa or expanding the existing structure to capture further panoramic mountain views.
The chalet is located steps away from the New Yukoro Onsen, providing convenient access to après-ski relaxation. The Niseko Hirafu Free Shuttle stop on Yukemuri Street is directly in front of the property, offering easy access to ski lifts and the wider Hirafu village. A variety of restaurants and bars are within walking distance.
