Hakuba and Niseko are two of Japan’s premiere ski resorts. Hakuba, in the Nagano region of Japan, is located in the Japanese Alps and is one of the most popular international ski destinations in Japan because of the wide variety of terrain and ski areas available in the region. Niseko is located further north, in the Hokkaido region of Japan, and beloved because of its reputation for the fresh powdery snow that falls in abundance and the option for going off-piste.

One Chalets in Hakuba, offers the ultimate luxurious mountain chalet experience. Choose between the Phoenix One, a three-story villa hidden away in the Wadano forest, or the Happo One, which has stunning views of the Happo One Mountain. The chalets are the perfect balance of Western luxury and Japanese Zen simplicity. Each private chalet comes with your own private vehicle for getting around the mountain town, and trekking to the slopes each day, a private onsen, and access to a state-of-the-art gym. There’s no better place to escape the hustle and bustle of this Olympic ski destination. All the privacy of your own home, with all the convenience of a world-class hotel.

Loft Niseko in Hirafu Village has three private loft apartments and a penthouse to serve as the perfect home base for your Hokkaido ski vacation. All of the apartments have a breathtaking view of the famous Mt. Yotai from the large picture windows, and are furnished with clean, cool decor to provide peak relaxation after a long day of skiing in Japan’s number one ski resort. With nearly 15 meters of snow per season, it dwarfs Whistler, Chamonix, and Aspen, creating a longer and more reliable ski season. Even better, you can count on that fresh beautiful powder that all winter sports lovers crave. And with the option to go off-piste, you can truly have fun exploring the mountain. Loft Niseko provides a personal ski-valet to take you to and from the mountain each day, as well as an on-site concierge to help you book dining, acquire lift tickets, find onsen, and get to and from the airport. Everything is taken care of when you stay at Loft Niseko.
