Byakko has a solid pedigree as one of the West Canada Homes-built stable of ski residences in Niseko. As befitting their standards, it boasts en suites to all four bedrooms, king-split beds, beautifully appointed furnishings and oodles of space. The expansive windows and balconies offer guests delightful views of snowy treed landscapes, the ski slopes – especially at nights with the runs lit up – and wonderful Mt Yotei.

Tasteful touches of Japanese décor, including the distinctive features inspired by the local Ainu people of Hokkaido, add the perfect finish to the high-end appointments, including an impressive stone fireplace. A media room is generously equipped with wall-mounted plasma TV screen with Netflix. Each bedroom is provided with its own en suite so no one has to share, with an additional toilet and washroom on the ground level and another toilet on the middle level.

The sleekly appointed open-plan kitchen and dining room on the middle level leads onto a balcony which runs the length and width of the building – a perfect additional snowy refrigerator when guests arrive! The lounge and dining areas comfortably cater for eight guests. Full laundry facilities and good storage for skis and snowboards are located on the ground level.

Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Byakko sits in the quiet and leafy Izumikyo 1 district just outside the main Hirafu Village but still with ready access to everything you need. It’s surrounded by forests and fields so it’s a great place for kids to play.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

The village shuttle bus service stops nearby, offering easy access to the ski slopes. The in-house garage gives the option of additional transport for those guests with an international driving license wanting to make use of the four-wheel drive vehicle which comes with the property rental.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

Hirafu Village’s convenience stores, world-renowned restaurants (including some with Michelin stars) bars and other attractions are readily accessible with the shuttle bus stop so close. If you’re feeling hardy, you can also reach the village on foot in about 10 minutes or so.
