Setsu In Living Area with Wooden Floor | Hanazono

The North Hills is a prestigious neighbourhood in the Hanazono area; home to grand holiday homes and secluded residences, and Setsu-in is the new kid on the block. With a solid square concrete facade, Setsu-in looks deceptively simple from the street. But don’t be fooled – the house is really U-shaped, bending around a private courtyard hidden from the street and looking out towards the acres of pristine forest.

Setsu-in chooses horizontal over vertical, with rooms spread across the ground floor with vaulted ceilings reaching up to 5 metres in places. Floor-to-ceiling windows are carefully arranged to make the most of the forest scenery behind the house, while cleverly hiding the residents from curious neighbours. There is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with all the trimmings.

There are three bedrooms sleeping six guests, and a loft space that can sleep two additional guests in futon bedding (extra charges apply). The master bedroom has its own en suite bathroom with bath and shower, while the remaining bedrooms share a bathroom with shower. The property’s rental includes a 4WD van with to help you get around, and from Setsu-in both Kutchan Town and Hirafu Village are a short 15-minute drive away.

LOFT

Up a small flight of stairs above the ski lockers, there is an open loft that makes use of Setsu-In’s slanted ceilings. This is a fun though low-ceilinged space, and when you stay with 7 or 8 guests, those additional guests will sleep in this loft space on futon bedding. It’s a great space for kids, with a touch of privacy and adventure to enjoy. Windows look out towards the courtyard and the rest of the building, and the shared bathroom is just down the stairs.

Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Setsu-in is in the North Hills district of Hanazono, a short 2-minute drive from the Hanazono ski resort. It’s a quiet residential area with holiday chalets and homes sparsely spread throughout quiet roads and forest. Set off the main road, with huge windows facing out into the forest, Setsu-in offers the ultimate snow retreat.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

The lifts at Hanazono are a short two-minute drive away, and or walkable if you want exercise. From Hanazono, there are regular free shuttles to and from Hirafu. This can come in handy if the top lifts aren’t running and you can’t ski across.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

The grand Park Hyatt Hotel is set to open right at the base of Hanazono, and with it will bring several restaurants and bars. Otherwise there aren’t any other F&B establishments in Hanazono itself. However you are 10 minutes drive from the main local town, Kutchan, which has a vibrant and truly Japanese restaurant and bar scene. The property also provides one complimentary shopping trip to Kutchan Town so you can stock up on groceries.
