Named after the beautiful birchwood it overlooks, this brand new three-bedroom chalet has a peaceful and private setting in Soga, a few minutes from Niseko Village Ski Resort, Hokkaido. Featuring stylish and modern interiors in blonde wood, green-facing large windows, spacious bedrooms and elegant open-plan living areas, Birchwood is a great choice for families and friends looking to explore the Niseko region. Winter sports enthusiasts will find idyllic ski conditions and a plethora of fresh powder, while those visiting in the warmer months can enjoy stunning mountain scenery, atmospheric outdoor thermal springs and a host of outdoor pursuits. As per local government of Kutchan, failure to separate garbage correctly is subject to a JPY 5,000 penalty fee per day. Please be advised that we allow children in the chalet, but will be counted as one adult.

Birchwood is located on the edge of a forest, a short drive from upmarket Niseko Village Ski Resort, and cosmopolitan Hirafu Village. In summer, a car is recommended as public transport is more limited. In winter, we have a complimentary driver service in the morning and afternoon from 8AM to 6PM (for local journeys to and from Niseko Village and Hirafu Village). We can also help to arrange for a car and driver if needed (subject to extra cost).
