Shion Overview

Shion is the perfect place for soaking up Niseko’s unparalleled natural beauty to the fullest. Built in serene Yotei no Sato, this irresistibly modern chalet takes pride of place on an elevated bluff. From this scenic elevation, the chalet provides mesmerising views of Niseko’s most famous resident: the majestic Mount Yotei. While the setting is deliciously tranquil, it’s also just moments from Hirafu’s ski slopes and dining scene.

The chalet itself wows guests with its contemporary design and sleek furnishings. Standout features include a well-designed ski room and a beautiful gas fireplace – the perfect combo for avid skiers looking to make the most of Niseko’s epic powder while also relaxing to the max. The sleeping arrangements in this four-bedroom chalet offer great versatility. Besides two classic ensuite bedrooms, the chalet also features a bunk room sleeping four guests and a traditional Japanese tatami room with futon mattresses. Whichever room you choose, get ready for a peaceful night’s rest surrounded by nature – the name of the chalet literally means “sounds of the forest.

Shion Living

Shion offers an effortlessly modern take on the classic ski chalet. Boasting just the kind of sloped roof you’d expect from a traditional ski lodge, Shion elevates things with a fresh minimalist polish. Featuring enviably endless windows and minimalist contemporary décor, Shion provides a chic modern stay surrounded by pristine nature and stunning views in both directions: looking out to the Hirafu ski slopes on one side and gazing out to mighty Mount Yotei on the other.

Living Room

In a stroke of design genius, the living areas are located on the chalet’s upper floor. This means guests get to enjoy stunning views of Mount Yotei while relaxing by the fireplace or enjoying meals gathered around the dining table. A plush grey sofa offers ample space to sit back and relax, with a gas fireplace providing ambiance on cold winter nights. If you feel like vegging out after a long day on the slopes, a smart TV mounted on the wall offers the perfect opportunity for bingeing on your favourite shows or catching up on the latest movies.

Dining Room

The dining area is incorporated into the spacious upper floor living room. The dining table is positioned before glass doors which slide open to the balcony. This allows guests to dine while admiring views of Mount Yotei. During the warmer months, you can also enjoy your meals out on the balcony. Behind the dining area you will discover the chalet’s sleek designer kitchen which offers all the amenities needed for preparing meals, snacks and beverages, including a coffee maker and rice cooker.

Location

Shion is located in Yotei no Sato, an enclave of high-end chalets and local homes located just beyond the bustling heart of Hirafu ski village in Niseko, Japan. This is a peaceful setting where you’ll be surrounded by Hokkaido’s pristine nature and local residents going about their daily lives. The village shuttle doesn’t stop in this neighbourhood (the nearest stop is about 700 metres away), but if you’re renting a car or arranging a driver, the ski lifts and restaurants of central Hirafu are just five minutes away. If you’re looking for more variety, the ski slopes of Hanazono are also just a 10-minute drive away. Hanazono is also home to the buzzed-about Park Hyatt resort.

    Shion is an excellent chalet located in the tranquil East Hirafu, perfect for accommodating a large family with a capacity of up to 12 people! The living room window provides a sneak peek of the ski slope, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere around the fireplace. Despite being just a 5-minute drive from Middle Hirafu, I’d recommend considering a car rental for added convenience during your stay.

    Shion is the total package! Incredible setting, amazing views, super comfortable living areas with heaps of space, high quality furniture, fittings and building materials. Just remember to rent a vehicle as it’s a quiet neighbourhood on the outskirts of Hirafu.
