KOUZAN WOODS

Kouzan Woods is an elegant pair of chalets nestled amid Hokkaido’s stunning landscape. The chalets exude style and effortless elegance, bringing together the cosy feel of Scandinavian living and the beauty of Japanese minimalism. Built over two floors, each chalet is framed by extensive windows, allowing guests to admire as Niseko’s famous powder covers the ground. And speaking of powder – though the chalets are hidden away from the crowds, they are also just a quick drive from Niseko Village, the most exclusive of Niseko’s ski resorts. Besides world class skiing and endless powder, the resort offers access to five star dining at the Hilton and Ritz Carlton Reserve resorts. From their enviable setting to their premium furnishings, Kouzan Woods offers the perfect homebase for sampling Niseko’s finest offerings.

Sleeps: 6 guests (6 max)

Kouzan Woods fuses Japanese minimalism with cosy Scandinavian influences to a stunning effect. The exterior feels like a modern update on the classic Scandinavian cottage with full wall windows injecting sleek modern style. The interiors echo the effortless grace of the architecture with light filled spaces adorned with bespoke furniture in a subtle colour palette. With all three bedrooms housed downstairs and the living areas taking up the entire upper floor, it’s easy to mingle and socialise but also to enjoy some me-time when needed.

Living Room

Two whole walls of the upper floor living areas are taken up by stunning gable windows. This allows the space to be flooded with natural light during the day and also ensures idyllic views of the surrounding forest. Close to one statement window, the lounge area features an elegant white sofa and two matching armchairs arranged around a coffee table and an ottoman. There is also a huge flatscreen TV to keep the whole group entertained on the nights when you prefer to stay in.

Dining Room

The dining area is positioned right behind the lounge area. Here, up to eight guests can gather around a long timber dining table watching as the snow falls outside those beautiful gable windows. A sleek island counter flanked by bar stools separates the fully equipped kitchen from the living areas. Thanks to the open floor plan, the whole upper floor is perfect for socialising after a day spent exploring Niseko’s wintery wonders.

Each of the Kouzan Woods chalets features three bedrooms. These are calm and soothing sanctuaries rendered in light timber and pure white, creating the perfect backdrop for restorative sleep. All three rooms are located on the ground floor. While there are no ensuite bathrooms, there are two bathrooms located on the same floor. One of them features a luxuriant Japanese bath – perfect for soaking those sore muscles after a day spent on the slopes.

Kouzan Woods consists of two standalone chalets that are identical in their design and layout. Each chalet is built over two floors. The ground floor houses all three bedrooms. The open-plan living and dining areas are located upstairs.
