Known for its Japanese flair, exquisite hospitality and world-class dining, Hirafu Village has developed a stellar reputation for outdoor pursuits while drawing in an increasingly international crowd.
And speaking of flair, we can’t think of a more glamorous place to experience Hirafu’s winter or summer than the stunning five-bedroom Seshu Chalet.
Sustainably designed using natural building materials, Seshu Chalet dazzles with stylish interiors. Set across three floors, this is a vast yet delightfully cosy home to return to after spending a day hiking, skiing, playing golf – or indeed taking part in any of Hirafu’s other endless nature activities.
Seshu Chalet has two spacious master bedrooms and two identical guest rooms, each appointed with split king-size beds, chic designer furniture and sumptuous ensuite bathrooms. The fifth bedroom can be set up with twin beds, or as a charming Japanese-style tatami room, with access to a separate toilet and shower.
Meals are a social affair at Seshu Chalet, gathered around the contemporary, open-plan kitchen or dining space that can easily seat twelve people. For some fresh air, you can enjoy barbecues on the extensive first-floor terrace during summertime or impromptu alfresco dining with a view.
The chalet’s three lounge areas are particularly cosy in the evening, thanks to their tasteful, soft lighting, while the modern fireplace’s warm and relaxing glow serves as an ongoing invitation for sharing each other’s outdoor adventure tales.
With its gorgeous design, excellent amenities and central location, Seshu Chalet represents mountain living at its swankiest – whatever the season may be.

The Neighborhood
Located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido and with a peek of the active volcano of Mount Yotei – a smaller version of Mount Fuji – Hirafu, one of Niseko’s four separate but interconnected ski resorts, is blessed with some of the driest, lightest and most abundant snow on Earth.
Despite an average yearly snowfall of 15 metres, Hirafu also enjoys comfortable summers. Its untamed volcanic landscape, excellent hiking trails and increasing reputation as a wellness haven, make it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts all year-round.
Seshu Chalet is conveniently located on a quiet edge of Hirafu’s middle village, close to many of its most popular restaurants and entertainment venues. It is a mere ten-minute walk from the Grand Hirafu Ski Gondola.
An on-call driver will be happy to drive you to and from the gondola and any other locations within Hirafu village. There are also free shuttle buses that will take you to any of the other Niseko resorts.
