Yunosato Art House: A Well-Located Onsen-Ready Home Close to Resort and Towns
Located in the quiet Yunosato (Hot-Spring Village) area, this retreat is designed for seasonal comfort, natural beauty, and relaxed entertaining. This inviting private holiday home combines functional design with a cozy alpine-resort atmosphere in a great location close to the resort and towns.
Inside, relax in the light, warm kitchen-living space equipped with a functional wood-burning stove to help add to the cozy alpine atmosphere. Another special feature of the property is the relaxing natural onsen hot-spring area—imagine ending a day in the snow or hiking with a long soak in your own private onsen. Another unique feature is the covered terrace dedicated as a BBQ area—providing an ideal place for enjoying Hokkaido's fresh produce any time of year with friends and family, even in winter! Storage and practicality are also well covered: a spacious basement offers ample storage space for all your gear, tools, and an indoor wood supply area. While the basement’s ceiling height may not suit a bedroom, it’s ample for keeping belongings organized, dry, and out of sight.
The property features include being partially furnished, having an onsen, fireplace(s), and being situated in a resort area with access to golf, skiing, tennis, outdoor recreation, countryside/rural life, and mountain views. Property details confirm it was built in 1984, has a floor area ratio of 400%, a building coverage ratio of 70%, a water supply at the street, and a septic sewer system.
The area offers exceptional leisure opportunities. It is just 5 minutes from Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort—perfect for a spontaneous snow-day avoiding long travel time. It is 8 minutes from Niseko Annupuri International Ski Area, giving you access to its famed powder runs and wide network of ski trails & Niseko United all mountain—a major perk for winter sports lovers. Convenient access—with no traffic lights along the way from your house to the ski lifts—means smoother travel, sparing you winter-road hassles for a stress-free experience. A fascinating fact about the Niseko area is that it receives some of the heaviest and highest-quality powder snow in the world, often called 'Japow' by international skiers and snowboarders. The closest major landmark is the majestic Mount Yotei, an almost perfectly symmetrical volcano often referred to as the 'Mount Fuji of Hokkaido,' which provides a stunning backdrop to the region.
