Hakuchōzan, Japanese for “Swan Mountain”, was named after the fairytale Neuschwanstein or “New Swan” Castle in Bavaria where the owners of the property were engaged to be married. Flushed with love, the couple adopted the symbol of the swan, a literary metaphor for grace, beauty and enduring love, into their vision for the property.

Hakuchōzan was conceived out of a love for family, and the desire to create a destination where multiple generations of loved ones could build lifelong memories under one roof. Built for their aging parents, five children and extended family, the chalet was designed with communal spaces and private nooks where families could both socialize together and spend quiet time apart.

Nestled in the heart of Grand Hirafu Village in Hokkaido, Hakuchōzan delivers the most exquisite chalet experience in Niseko reminiscent of a bygone era of European graciousness. Experience new realms of luxury at the only ski chalet in the vicinity that provides you with your own team away from home to cater to your every need.

Combining the finest in architecture, functionality, and personalized service set within 486sqm of spacious luxury, Hakuchōzan is thoughtfully designed and beautifully furnished to accommodate multiple families; it is child-friendly and sympathetic to older generations.


Elegantly appointed and outfitted, Hakuchōzan can sleep up to 16 guests in seven spacious en-suite bedrooms, including one bedroom with 2 x 2-bed bunkbeds. All of the bedrooms are outfitted with the finest linens, pillows and duvets for your comfort, and finished to luxury specifications. The indulgent comfort of our Hakuchōzan chalet is perhaps best expressed in the large ensuite-guestrooms where thoughtful details abound.
