Tokubetsu is built above the Escarpment Estate on the cliff edge of Lower Hirafu Village. The chalet features large floor-to-ceiling windows to allow for sunlight to flood the interior with warmth and natural light, as well as offer a front row seat to watch the local birds in the silver birch tree tops just beyond the glass.
The slick modern styling combined with the unparalleled views make this 148sqm chalet a perfect retreat for a family vacation or a group of close friends. Broadband internet is included and a private garage means guests can accommodate a vehicle. The ground-level bedrooms share a bathroom, with full bath and separate toilet. The top-level bedroom has an ensuite and separate toilet to also service the living areas.
The sleek, minimalist-style black and white kitchen with gleaming appliances flows through to expansive living areas with fireplace, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors opening to an expansive balcony from which to enjoy the winter panorama. A separate laundry is located on the ground floor level.

Location
SETTING / ATMOSPHERE
Tokubetsu’s location on the edge of the main village bluff ensures peace and quiet with unobstructed views of Mt Yotei and the valley below. Though serene and scenic, it’s also not too far from the central village action.
LIFTS / TRANSPORT
The chalet is a healthy walk up to reach the ski lifts and convenience stores, but the shuttle bus, with a stop only 3 minutes’ walk away, offers an excellent alternative for those wanting to wave their energy for the slopes. The inclusion of a garage means guests can accommodate a hire vehicle if desired.
RESTAURANTS / BARS
Tokubetsu sits at the bottom of Lower Hirafu, with some cool local izakayas hidden in the local neighbourhood. If you prefer more variety, hop on the shuttle to explore all the options available in Middle and Upper Hirafu.
