Description
Kinokawa Overview
Kinokawa is a thing of beauty. This chalet oozes elegance, but also feels incredibly warm and inviting – a rare combination that makes this chalet all the more winning. Kinokawa pulls out all the stops to make guests feel at ease. The living areas with their sky-high ceiling are stunning and all five bedrooms are adjoined by an ensuite bathroom – a rare find in a chalet this large. When you’re not busy making use of one of the three(!) lounge areas, why not steal away for a soak in the beautiful Japanese bath? Surrounded by full wall windows looking out to the forest (don’t worry, you can close the blinds if you’re shy), it makes for the most tranquil soak. These are just some of the ways Kinokawa will wow you and trust us – the chalet’s even better in person. Check out the pricing for Kinokawa here.

Kinokawa Living
Kinokawa is the perfect chalet to retreat to in the heart of winter. The chalet’s living areas offer endless opportunity to gather up and have fun as a group – or steal away when you need a little quiet time. The double (or is it triple?) height ceiling makes the living areas feel majestic, and the beautifully placed windows help bring the winter wonderland in. This chalet was designed for maximum comfort, with plush living areas, all ensuite bedrooms, and that luxe Japanese bath all ensuring a seamless stay in the pow capital of the world.
Living Room
Kinokawa offers oodles of space to kick back, relax, and soak in the views and ambiance. The main living area is positioned on the ground floor, with an open floor plan and a double height ceiling introducing an incredible sense of space. This lofty space features two seating areas. One is a beautiful arrangement of sofas, ottomans, and armchairs positioned before the statement windows. The other is a more relaxed nook where you can all gather up on the large grey sofa and binge on your favourite movies. If those two options are not enough, there’s also a third seating area upstairs. It’s a relaxed lounge area with a sofa and work desk – a great spot for clearing out the old inbox.
Dining Room
The dining area benefits from the same sensational setup as the living room: sky high ceilings and beautiful windows looking out to the forest. The glass topped dining table is surrounded by elegant high back chairs. Behind the dining area is the chalet’s sleek open plan kitchen where you’ll find all the appliances and cutlery you’ll need during your stay.
Kinokawa Bedrooms
Kinokawa features five bedrooms. The bedrooms are elegantly styled using light neutral tones, with unique textiles and artwork bringing a unique twist into each space.

Location
Kinokawa is located in Niseko, Japan. This chalet is part of the Country Resort estate, a relaxed community of chalets located just outside the Grand Hirafu ski resort. The peaceful estate is surrounded by forest yet also ensures easy access to everything Niseko has to offer. Hirafu’s ski lifts and restaurants are just a five-minute drive away, and it only takes 10-15 minutes to reach Niseko Village as well.
Niseko Travel Guide
Niseko has fast emerged as the premiere ski destination in Asia. Known for offering the best powder on the planet, Niseko is made up of four interconnecting ski resorts located at the imposing Mount Annupuri. What was once the stomping ground of powder hounds travelling on a budget has been transformed into an enclave of luxury ski chalets and condos, with vibrant dining and nightlife paired with serene onsen hot springs and endless natural beauty.
