AN IDYLLIC SETTING

Located in the charming village of Hirafu with majestic Mount Yotei in the near distance, Niseko-Kyo is beguiling from the moment of arrival. Here, you'll find some of the finest powder on the planet and as the property has direct access to the Ace Family Lift, Niseko-Kyo’s ski-in ski-out approach offers the convenience of having the destination's famed winter sports right at your doorstep.

SUPER NATURAL

Inspired to create a property which is a destination in itself, Niseko-Kyo's design philosophy draws from nature and the Japanese philosophy of Ukiyo.

As such, nature was an intuitive choice for inspiration. To this end, materials such as timber, marble, limestone and quartz were favoured in the interiors. These were deftly deployed to create a sanctuary befitting its natural surroundings while allowing a seamless transition between the interior's refined textures and the landscape beyond.

An integral component was evoking the ethereal expression of Komorebi, the hypnotic dance of shadow and light between the trees when sunrays filters through. By using light as an architectural medium against timber and stone, the mood changes according to the time of day and season.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT

As time seems to slow down at the Niseko Kyo, the second part of the design philosophy was to capture the spirit of Ukiyo. Ukiyo is a concept of living in the moment, being free and finding respite from the challenges of life. To this end, warm, neutral hues create intimacy in the space while luxurious touches lend decadence to help celebrate life.

Chief of these luxurious touches is a private natural onsen for peaceful soul-restoring moments. Every residence is also fully furnished with the finest amenities, so that residents may pack light yet be reassured that all their needs are met. Selected units feature a dual-key and triple-key system that allows greater flexibility for owners.
