Here, in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Hirafu Village, you will find this custom-built snow house, which is tastefully styled in glass, concrete and steel. It is perched atop a steep woodland escarpment, with floor-to-ceiling windows ensuring breathtaking views of the Hokkaido landscape and Mt Yotei. The spacious and fully equipped kitchen makes cooking a joy, but if you would prefer to treat yourself, Niseko's most famous restaurants are only a short walk away. The floating fireplace in the lounge area will keep you warm and cosy.

The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and is furnished with a double bed that you can choose to convert into two single beds. Looking out of the large glass windows, you see lovely views of the wintry snow or verdant fields in summer. They also allow plenty of light to filter in, which illuminates the room. You’ll find the other four spacious bedrooms are also on the lower level of the chalet. Three of these have double beds that can be converted into large single beds.

The fourth bedroom has a bunk bed with a plasma TV and DVD player to keep the children entertained. Boasting Japanese architectural finesse, including an original, handmade Japanese cypress outdoor hot tub as well as an indoor Japanese hinoki wood spa, Glasshouse is perfectly set for your group of friends or family to make the most out of a memorable stay to the powdery haven of Niseko.

Nestled in the highly sought-after Niseko-Hirafu village, Glasshouse was voted one of Japan's top 200 homes in 2009, and nominated for the World Ski Awards in 2014 and 2015. It was designed by Hikohito Konishi, recipient of the prestigious international Barbara Cappochin Prize 2009 in Italy.
