Hakuchōzan: A Multi-Award-Winning Ski Chalet in Niseko Hirafu

This seven-bedroom ski chalet, named Hakuchōzan (meaning "Swan Mountain" in Japanese), is situated in the prestigious Hirafu district of Niseko. The design was inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, with the swan symbolizing elegance, beauty, and eternal love. The chalet is designed for multi-generational family holidays, balancing communal areas with private spaces and offering panoramic views of Mount Yotei.

The property features seven en-suite bedrooms, an outdoor Jacuzzi terrace with a fireplace and BBQ facilities, a private bar, a games room, an elevator, and a single-car garage. As part of the "Haku Life Collection," it is a full-service property with a dedicated butler and private chef, offering a six-star villa experience unique to Niseko. It was the first luxury serviced chalet in the area and the first property to achieve nightly rates exceeding one million yen.

Hakuchōzan has won "Japan's Best Ski Chalet" at the World Ski Awards four times (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2023). The sale includes the property but excludes sports memorabilia, artwork on the stairwell, and two sandstone sculptures. The property has access to road water and road sewer services. It is fully furnished and equipped with a fireplace, garage, elevator, and is located in a resort area with access to golf, skiing, and outdoor recreation.

The chalet is located on a quiet road in the lower Hirafu area, offering privacy while being a short walk from the village center, bus stops, restaurants, and bars. The Yukoro onsen is also within walking distance. Note: the sale price is listed in USD, with the JPY figure provided for reference only.
