Welcome centre transfers
Enju takes its name from the native Japanese hardwood routinely used as the centre post in traditional Japanese straw matting tatami rooms. The timber has been used extensively throughout the chalet, visible in furniture, railings, stairs and posts. A staircase of enju and walnut rises through the centre of the home, allowing in natural light throughout its three levels.
Enju is part of developer West Canada Homes’ elite stable and reflects their trademark quality, style and space – all 365 square metres of it. Built over three levels, the chalet features oak, alder and spruce as well as its namesake enju. The basement media room has a state-of-the-art entertainment system including complimentary high-speed internet and Netflix.
Enju is lavishly serviced with all bedrooms having their own en suites. In addition, there are two extra toilets – one on the middle level and one on the top level – and a family Japanese-style onsen bath which can fit four people, on the basement level, perfect for relaxing after a day on the slopes. There is also a stand-alone laundry on this level. The expansive living area is located on the top level and flows open-plan style from kitchen through to dining and lounge with its welcoming log fireplace. The kitchen also opens to a wide balcony – perfect!

Enju
Location
SETTING / ATMOSPHERE
Enju is situated pretty much right in the centre of Hirafu Village, just below the central traffic lights that mark the village crossroads. Just a short walk down from this busy intersection there is hidden slip road that ducks up to a secluded street full of huge luxury chalets, where you will find Enju.
LIFTS / TRANSPORT
Enju is within five minutes’ walking distance of the ski lifts, but more importantly only two minutes from the free shuttle bus. But with the option to garage a car, all transport issues are taken care of.
RESTAURANTS / BARS
The nearby après-ski temptations of Hirafu can prove irresistible! Just a short walk downhill is the Fridge Door Bar, Ebisutei Restaurant, and Restaurant Yo. Only a short walk up the hill is Niseko Pizza, TNSC Cheese Fondue and Crepery, Dragon Restaurant and Wine Bar and Niseko Cellars. And that’s just within the first 100m!
