Description

This cute log cabin could be straight out of the European or North America alps from the outside, but on the inside the design is sharp and modern. Half buried in snow in the winter, it’s a magical place to stay for those who want a traditional alpine experience, with all the comforts of home. Adding to its charm is that it’s located in quiet Hirafu Lower Village which is home to several of the area’s best semi-secret restaurants. Not only that, it’s just 50 metres from one of the best izakaya restaurants in the village (Rin – book early!).

Sleeps: 4 guests (6 max)

Although Nupuri Cottage looks brand new on the inside, it is in fact a renovated log cabin. Meticulously refurbished, it’s very neat, tidy and cosy on the inside, with all the modern features and fittings you need for a cosy stay in Niseko. Nupuri Cottage has one twin bedroom on the lower level, with an open loft upstairs that can sleep a couple or four kids/friends. In total the cottage sleeps four people + two extra guests at an extra charge.

This isn’t a huge place and might be cramped with six adults, but the clever design makes it feel more spacious than you’d expect. The kitchen along the back wall is situated next to a small dining table, with an adjoining lounge area. Eat, ski, chill, repeat – what more do you need!

The master bedroom on the ground floor doesn’t have an en suite, but the cottage’s one bathroom is located right next door and like the rest of the place, the bathroom is immaculate and modern with a shower, bath and bar heater to keep you warm on that dash from the shower to the towel.

Nupuri Cottage
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Nupuri Cottage is located in quiet and quaint Lower Hirafu Village – an idyllic Japanese ski resort setting. While Nupuri Cottage is low set, it enjoys glimpses up towards the ski fields for the early morning powder check, and up towards Mt Yotei out the back – cloud cover permitting!

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

It’s a pretty long walk up to the lifts but not impossible if you want to warm up your legs before you start. Luckily, the chalet is about half way between two free shuttle bus stops, each about a 50 metres away.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

Nupuri Cottage is located right near some of the great little Japanese restaurants hidden away in the lower village. It’s also within walking distance of several lower village bars, including the iconic “Fridge Door Bar”. Before 8.30pm you can catch the free shuttle to any restaurant/bar in the village. But stay out late and you might have a walk/slip/slide back down to the lower village later in the evening – all part of the fun!

    A very cosy cottage within Lower Hirafu, and away from the crowds. I would recommend Nupuri Cottage to others looking for a base for a nice ski vacation.
