Niseko Alpine Developments (NISADE) was founded in 2005 by people with a striking vision. Inspired by the powdery wealth of Hirafu's ski fields, they launched several alpine properties offering the ultimate in alpine comfort. These exceptional developments paved the way for NISADE to become the largest fully integrated property specialist in Niseko, Hokkaido. NISADE has implemented new health & hygiene protocols throughout our properties & are committed to creating the safest, cleanest & most comfortable environment possible for your holiday stay.

Featuring 11 apartments with uncompromising attention to detail, The Freshwater combines the best of both Japanese and Western cultures to deliver true boutique luxury in a superb location. The Freshwater is located on the main street of Hirafu with a flat one-minute walk to the shuttle bus stop, and a six minute walk to the Family Run ski slope. Restaurants, bars, and convenience stores are all within a couple of minutes on foot. Offering beautifully designed spaces, The Freshwater‘s stone and timber facade captures the essence of the Niseko natural environment, reflecting the local beauty of the alpine trees, adjoining stream, and nearby mountains.

Set amidst the spectacular beauty of Northern Japan, at the foot of the majestic Mt. Yotei, Niseko is a resort destination beloved by ski fanatics and nature lovers around the world. The Niseko resort area is composed of four communities: Annupuri, Niseko, Hirafu, and Hanazono. Each community has a ski resort making up the Niseko United system and offering unique access to the legendary ski slopes of Mt. Annupuri. All four resorts use the same lift pass system, and have easily accessible backcountry terrain, making the Niseko resort area irresistible to skiers and snowboarders. Consistent fluffy powder snow year after year has given Niseko the reputation of world-class ski resort.
