Chalet Zekkei

About this villa

One of the most incredible stays in Japan’s ski-destination Niseko, located at the lower end of Hirafu Village, the six-bedroom Zekkei is a spectacular three-level chalet that affords outstanding views of Japan’s Mount Yotei. With an exterior that has the feel of a log cabin retreat, the interior is spacious with inspiring big-window views. Glamorous design touches add real style elements too. The open-plan living and dining space on the three-level chalet’s main floor has a standout lounge area with a high vaulted ceiling and big floor-to-ceiling windows with wooden frames and wood ceilings that create a warmly natural look. A marble fireplace, heated timber floor, 40″ flatscreen TV, and big sofa seating create a cozy atmosphere while the room feels like floating in the air and is part of the scenery outdoors. A balcony with a barbecue looks out over the vast forest landscape. The living area leads to a fully-equipped kitchen with bar-stool seating around a kitchen island and a beautiful Siberian elm dining table. Room configurations are king-size and single, and a children’s room with four bunk beds and a single bed so that Zekkei can accommodate up to 15 guests, with each room h
