Tanoshii Chalet has been well-loved by visitors to Niseko for decades in both summer and winter after it was built by the original developer as holiday accommodation for mostly Japanese clientele. Soon after the rest of the skiing world discovered Niseko, this little log cabin was quickly snapped up by a family who fell in love with ski holidays here and decided to purchase the chalet, renovate and extend it to create their very own piece of paradise.

The renovations included two things that a quintessential log cabin in the Japanese mountains needs: a fireplace and a Japanese-style bath. Beautiful constructed out of timber, this is one of the few traditional baths in this style in the village – most others are made of concrete or stone and there’s something about bathing in this circular timber bath out on the terrace that makes it extra special.

The rest of the house is much like a simple log cabin you may find anywhere else around the world, but certainly with some added creature comforts – a new kitchen with island bench, modern bathroom (and an extra Japanese “kit” bathroom) plus a flat-screen TV and gas fireplace.  The downstairs is dedicated to living and dining with lovely homely Japanese design touches, while upstairs are the three bedrooms.

Tanoshii Chalet
Location

SETTING / ATMOSPHERE

Tanoshii Chalet is located in the peaceful hamlet of Izumikyo in East Hirafu, a longish walk or a short shuttle ride from the bustling centre of town. This is mostly quiet residential streets with just a scattering of restaurants and great views of Mt Yotei and the ski hill from most parts of the area.

LIFTS / TRANSPORT

There is a stop for the free village shuttle bus right across the road from your front door, bringing every lift and amenity in the village within a 5-10-minute drive. The shuttle runs from 8am till the end of the day or night’s skiing and you can use it for skiing or getting to shops/restaurants etc.

RESTAURANTS / BARS

Half a dozen great restaurants are scattered around this quiet corner of town, including some of Niseko’s best hidden gem restaurants. There is one bar about 5-10 minutes walk away, and 15 minutes into the heart of the village and there is more après than you will be able to visit in 10 trips!
