Set in Kutchan, this ski chalet is a short drive from Niseko Mountain Resort Grand Hirafu and close to Niseko-Shakotan-Otarukaigan Quasi-National Park. The property sits about 7 km from Kutchan town center and puts the slopes minutes away.

Expect creature comforts like a 42-inch flat-screen TV with satellite, private bathrooms with bathtub or shower and bidet, a desk and separate sitting area, plus a welcoming lobby fireplace.

Relax at the full-service spa with massages, store gear in ski storage, or hop the ski shuttle (surcharge) to the lifts. Onsite perks include complimentary Wi-Fi, bicycle rentals, a barbecue area, laundry facilities, free self parking and a 24-hour roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge).

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and rooms include a desk and phone for remote work or planning your next run.

An onsite restaurant serves local cuisine so you can taste regional flavors without leaving the property, and the barbecue area is great for casual evenings after a day on the mountain.
