Once a traditional Japanese-style pension guesthouse, Chalet Murasaki is now a sprawling, rustic masterpiece that sits in one of the most incredible locations in Hirafu. There are eight total bedrooms across three floors, two of these make up a separate-entry unit that can be booked by itself: so you can book your stay in a six bedroom chalet, a two-bedroom apartment, or a whole eight bedroom configuration. As an ex-guesthouse this chalet is outfitted perfectly for communal, big-group ski-slope living with a massive ski storage room, a fully-stocked commercial kitchen and a host of cozy, inviting living areas and seating nooks peppered with board games, books and a delightful collection of decorative paraphernalia from vintage skis to Japanese scrolls.

As one of the largest and most luxurious ski-in ski-out properties in Niseko it commands 450sq m (or 4650 sq ft) of space over three floors. Sitting as it does at the bottom of the slopes Chalet Murasai treats its guests to first-hand views of the action on the slopes and the nearby tranquillity of a treed winter white snowscape. Expansive picture windows and lofty skylights frame scenes of skiers and the falling powder for which Niseko is famous.

Chalet Murasaki blends spacious, up-to-date Western fittings and finishes with key Japanese luxuries such as a bathroom of hinoki wood, famed for the forest-fresh scent it exudes. A separate media room is equipped with 55-in cable TV and Bose surround sound, high speed Wifi broadband, and an extensive library of books on Japan.

Chalet Murasaki
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Chalet Murasaki has one of the most sought-after positions in Hirafu Village at the very base of the Ace Family chairlift. It’s a peaceful outlook from the chalet, but step outside the front door and you’re in a bustling little heart of the village.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

Only 20 metres to the ski lifts, 150 metres to the closest store, no distance to the beginners’ slope, just 100 metres to the shuttle… need we say more? Should you choose to bring a car, there’s also parking on-site. Perfect!

RESTAURANTS / BARS

Chalet Murasaki is right alongside The Vale Niseko which has a restaurant serving meals and coffee at any time of the day. Also every restaurant, bar and store in Upper or Middle Hirafu is less than a 10 minute walk away. Rentals are right nearby, as is the starting point for several ski schools.
