HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE?

THANK YOU FOR READING POWDERLIFE

Launched in 2007, Powderlife was Niseko's first English-language magazine. At the time there was very little information for visitors online or on the ground, so we aimed to be a guide that bridged the cultural gap. Now we distribute the magazine around the world in three languages to promote the region. If you've picked up this magazine in Niseko, please take it home as a souvenir to remember your trip and to show friends and family. If you've come across it overseas or are reading online, we hope to see you here soon!

TAG YOUR NISEKO PHOTOS #POWDERLIFE AND WE’LL FEATURE THE BEST ON OUR ACCOUNT

Niseko’s powder season… it’s no secret. It’s 70 to 100 days every year when it snows almost every day. And not just any snow – literally the finest quality, grade-A powder on earth. It’s a cliche but Niseko is a Disneyesque “winter wonderland” from December to February.

However, in this issue of Powderlife we’ve included more content on the other seasons that aren’t as well known. It starts with spring in March, which is much quieter and warmer than peak winter. Beginners, families and skiers who don’t need waist-deep powder every day rave about March and April – read more about this in our article on “the real peak season”.

Then there’s the tranquil green season with European and North American-style outdoor lifestyle opportunities and wellness retreats. And that’s before we even start to talk about the magical colours and culinary delights of autumn and the harvest season.

S ome of the world’s wealthiest people are already in on these secrets and have built second homes here to retreat to throughout the year. Take a look through a couple of these in the Real Estate Guide section of this magazine. Otherwise the best way to keep up with everything going on in Niseko year round is to follow us at @powderlife.

關於二世古的粉雪季雖然已經眾所皆知，每年有長達 70至100天 幾乎日日飄雪的日子，已經翩然來到。更何況，二世古的雪可不是 普通的雪——而是地球上最頂級、最細膩的粉雪。或許，長年強打 粉雪，聽起來覺得是老生常談，但每年從十二月到隔年二月，二世 古確實宛如迪士尼童話中的冬季仙境。

本期POWDERLIFE，我們特別介紹常常被大家忽略的二世古四 季風采。相較寒冬的旺季，春天不僅遊客稀少，天氣也較為溫暖。 一般遊客、家庭團體，以及不執著於深及腰際粉雪的滑雪愛好者， 都對三四月的時節讚不絕口——更多精彩內容，請繼續閱讀本期 「真正的高峰季節」專題報導。

除此之外，綠意盎然的夏季時節，二世古搖身一變，成為歐美風格 的戶外生活體驗與身心靈度假選擇。至於秋季，更是一個洋溢著 魔幻色彩與豐收美饌的季節。其實，世界各地的財富菁英們早已 洞悉二世古四季之美，紛紛在此建造第二居所，隨時享受度假生 活。本期雜誌的房地產指南專欄，也為您精選介紹幾處精品物件。

EXPLORE

There’s plenty more to Niseko than powder. Make sure you take a day off the slopes to discover some of the other treasures hidden beneath the snow and in other parts of Hokkaido.

EARN YOUR TURNS

While Niseko is known for its pillowy, lift-accessed powder snow, there are plenty of serious descents for those who are willing to do the hard yards. American photographer Karim Iliya nears the peak of Mt Yotei before riding into the crater and then back down the outside.

二世古以其便捷的纜車接駁與柔軟粉雪聞 名。當然，對於想要進階挑戰自我的玩家來 說，這裡也有許多令人心跳加速的險峻雪 道。圖為歐洲單板滑雪好手Alex Savu攀 登羊蹄山峰頂，準備穿越火山口，再從外側 滑降。

傳統文化方面，二世古地區也分佈著數十座充滿韻味的神社，其中以距離比羅夫纜車 站步行可達的山田神社最具特色，精緻可愛。歡迎在Instagram @powderlife 分享您的美照！。

There aren’t many perfectly clear days in Niseko in winter but when there is make sure you keep an eye on Mt Yotei at sunset as it turns orange and pink.

THE REAL PEAK SEASON

SKIP THE CROWDS, BEAT THE BANK AND BASK IN THE SPRING SUNSHINE

There are two peak seasons in Niseko – one when the world books out every apartment and restaurant in the resort between Christmas and New Year and much of the “powder season”. And another when the clouds part, the crowds depart, and a whole new sky-blue and white world opens up.

Yes, Niseko is synonymous with powder snow, and yes, powder snow is one of the most wondrous things on earth. But for people who think powder season is the only season worth coming to Niseko for, there are a few things you must know.

First, there are often powder days in March, and every few years we’ll even get a powder day in April. As the average temperature is warmer than December to February, the powder may not be as light and dry as Niseko folklore promises, but the upside is you’ll get many more fresh tracks because there are fewer people to share it with.

M ore sunny days also means alpine-style skiing opportunities accompanied by unique Japanese volcanic landscape views. Above-the-treeline skiing comes to the fore, with colder temperatures at higher altitude keeping the 4-5m base in pristine condition, especially when immaculately groomed. It’s arguably better than any resort

in the world for much of their winters. For ski touring, the Niseko backcountry is your oyster.

A s for cold, hard economics... a Niseko holiday is far more affordable when supply and demand work in your favour. Fewer people means cheaper accommodation, lift tickets and rentals. Meanwhile you can usually book even the most popular restaurants at short notice.

But the number one reason why spring is the real peak season is that the daily snow clouds peter out, opening up the mountains. This is the ideal time to hike to the peak of Niseko United, take selfies at the summit marker monument and inside the peak hut, and marvel at the view of magnificent Mt Yotei while enjoying a 360-degree panorama taking in surrounding mountain ranges, the Sea of Japan, and the Pacific Ocean all at once. This is the real “peak season” and makes for memories that you will never forget.

STORY K RISTIAN LUND

PHOTO GLEN CLAYDON

真冬がピークシーズンと思われがちのニセコ。 実は春の息吹を感じられるシーズン終盤も、 十二分にニセコの魅力を堪能できる。

二世古有兩個旺季：一個在聖誕與新年之間，亦即粉雪高峰期，但滑雪場的客 房及餐廳往往被搶訂一空；另一個，則在雪雲散開，人潮褪去，朗日青天下的 白色世界敞開之時。

「粉雪」素來是二世古的代名詞，輕柔細軟，不絕地撩動世人的心。然而，若 您認為粉雪季就是唯一到訪二世古的最佳時間，則不妨細閱下去。

踏入春季，三月的二世古，粉雪日子仍屢見不鮮。而每隔幾年，四月仍會迎來 新鮮粉雪。這段期間，由於平均氣溫比十二月至二月稍高，因此粉雪可能不如 傳說中輕盈，但莫大好處是雪坡上人數銳減，可享受積滿厚厚鮮雪的雪道機 會則更大。

此外，天朗氣清的日子變多，亦意味著您有更多機會一邊享受高山滑雪，一邊 欣賞日本獨特的火山群美景。腳踏雪板，居高臨下馳騁於樹線之上，是何等

暢快的體驗。高海拔地區氣温較低，深達四、五米的積雪絲滑鬆軟，處處等您 留痕。二世古的春天，雪況可謂更勝世界各地滑雪場的冬天。對滑雪愛好者來 說，這裡是讓身心盡情放飛的世外桃源。

談到花費，春季滑雪也可助您省下不少旅費。旅客驟減，連帶住宿、纜車票及 房價都變更划算。即使最後關頭才預訂人氣餐廳，往往也能輕易成事。

最後一點，春季之所以是真正的旺季，更是因為雪雲的陰霾豁然散開，為壯闊 的山脈美景拉開幃幕。這個時間，就是登上二世古聯合滑雪場山峰的絕佳時 機。您可在山頂紀念碑和山頂小屋內自拍一番，同時放眼羊蹄山的雄偉英姿， 並將眾山環抱、日本海和太平洋各據一方的360度全景盡收眼底，讓您驚嘆 「會當凌絕頂，一覽眾山小」的氣魄。如此真正的旺季體驗，定必創造永生難 忘的回憶。

RESORT NEWS

SNOW MACHINE WARMS UP SPRING

Niseko Village will host the biggest music festival seen in the resort to date this March for Snow Machine. Over four days and three nights from 11-14 March, Snow Machine will crank up the volume and the spring-time vibe on the main stage at the base of Niseko Village, with satellite stages on the slopes of other resorts. The festival originated in Hakuba in 2020, and established an event in New Zealand’s ski mecca Queenstown in 2022, before setting their sights on Niseko this year.

二世古村將於明年（2025）三月迎來規模空前的 音樂盛事—— Snow Machine音樂節。

從3月11日至14日，為期四天三夜的狂歡將在二 世古舞台熱情展開，其他度假區的雪道上也將設 置小型舞台。這項始於 2020 年白馬村的音樂 節，繼2022年在紐西蘭皇后鎮成功擴展後，今年 首度移師北海道二世古。

PARK HYATT ROLLS OUT THE RED CARPET FOR NISEKO FILM FEST

Just as the season starts to wind down at the end of March, a touch of Hollywood comes to town with the Niseko Film Festival.

The best 18 films submitted are played on both indoor and outdoor screens at Park Hyatt’s Events Village, with $5,000 in cash shared among the top three films.

RHYTHM RAIL JAM X GAMES VIBE

It’s like Hirafu is hosting a mini X Games when a little slope on the edge of the village is transformed into a pumping amphitheatre for the Rhythm Rail Jam. Thousands of spectators line the hillside to witness more than 50 local and international riders jump, spin and slide onto a series of cold, hard rails embedded in the slope, earning points for style, creativity and a number of other criteria. With a live DJ and MC, taiko drum performance and food and drinks trucks, it’s an evening not to be missed in early March.

Follow @rhythmjapan and @powderlife for details.

當比羅夫村邊緣的小斜坡搖身一變成為Rhythm Rail Jam滑雪極限競技場，遊客彷彿置身一場迷你極限運 動賽事現場。數千名觀眾齊聚山坡，見證超過50位本 地及國際好手在埋設於雪坡的鋼管上一展身手，以跳 躍、旋轉、滑行等動作，角逐風格、創意等多項評分。

現場DJ、主持人、和太鼓表演，以及美食飲品攤位，共 同營造三月初不容錯過的狂歡夜。

SNAP A SELFIE WITH OUR HOKKAIDO BLUE BEAR

While Hokkaido’s brown bears should all be hibernating right now, this friendly blue giant is ready and waiting for a selfie every day this winter on the slopes of Niseko Village. Created by renowned Malaysian-based artist Frank Woo, the ursine snowboarder is joined by a skiing bear near the bottom of the Village Express gondola, a Hokkaido long-tailed tit on the beginner slopes, and a Hokkaido red fox in the Niseko-yo restaurant village.

A PERFECT MOMENT FOR JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL

Hanazono is the only ski resort in Japan where you can experience the new limited-edition Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet Scotch whisky in an official on-snow bar this winter. When après calls, ski down to the base of Hanazono and enjoy a taste of this new rare blend of Scotch whisky in Hanazono’s experiential Ice Chalet pop-up bar. Then head inside Park Hyatt Niseko to pick up your bottle, provided with a skiwear-inspired package created in collaboration with Perfect Moment.

花園度假村是日本唯一能嘗試到Johnnie Walker藍牌「冰雪小屋」的度假區。滑至花 園度假村山腳，在雪道旁的冰吧享受Johnnie Walker頂級威士忌。隨後可前往二世古花園柏 悅酒店購買限量版酒款，其專屬酒袋由冬季時 尚品牌Perfect Moment設計，可作為斜背包使 用。

CHAMPAGNE POWDER DOWN, FIRST-CLASS GONDOLA BACK UP

The most exciting news on the slopes of Niseko this year is the opening of Grand Hirafu’s luxurious new 10-person gondola. Complete with heated seats, the new gondola offers a much warmer, more comfortable, and faster ride up than the charming but rickety old “Center 4” chair it replaces. Every cabin comes with Wi-Fi onboard so you can update your social media feeds in real time. In the future, two special cabins with limited-edition glass floors will be in operation, offering a unique perspective of the mountain.

今年二世古最令人期待的滑雪設施，莫過於格蘭 比羅夫滑雪場 (Grand Hirafu) 全新豪華10人 纜車。配備暖氣座椅的新纜車，徹底改變了舊型 「Center 4」纜車簡樸搖晃的乘坐體驗，提供更 溫暖、舒適、快速的上山服務。

每個車廂都配備 Wi-Fi，其中兩個車廂更特別設 計了玻璃透視地板，讓您能欣賞腳下滑雪者的 英姿。

FOLLOW THE BEAT FOR A SWEET POTATO TREAT

Keep an eye out – and more importantly an ear – for Tatsu’s smoking yaki imo (roasted sweet potato) truck on the streets of Hirafu. These quirky little trucks with wood-fired ovens in the back can be found circling neighbourhoods all over Japan, blaring a droning “yaaakiiii-iiiiimoooo” song through megaphones to draw customers out of their homes. Tatsu’s point of difference is that he’s modernised the song, getting friends to make rap and reggae versions that are so catchy visitors can’t help but dance in the street as he passes! Not to mention the potatoes are delicious.

在比羅夫街頭，留意聆聽Tatsu的烤地瓜車。這種獨特的木材 燒烤小貨車在日本隨處可見，通常播放着「やきいも～」（烤 地瓜）的傳統叫賣聲。老闆Tatsu特別請朋友創作了嘻哈和雷 鬼版本的叫賣歌，朗朗上口，常常讓遊客不禁駐足起舞！重點 是，他的烤地瓜確實美味無比。

STREET FOOD ADDS

ANOTHER LAYER OF CHARACTER TO NISEKO’S DINING SCENE

While Niseko is known as having the biggest and best restaurant scene of any ski resort in Japan, it now has a vibrant street food scene to match. Since COVID the number of outlets has increased 10-fold. There are now more than 100 cute and colourful little roadside stalls along the street and in dedicated “food truck villages” adding plenty of character and vibrance to the Hirafu streetscape. They’re invariably delicious as the owner/ operators specialise in one type of cuisine, perfecting it like true Japanese master chefs.

Take a snap of your favourites and tag it @powderlife –we’ll share it on our feeds.

二世古不僅擁有日本滑雪勝地中最豐富的餐廳選擇，如今更發 展出充滿活力的街頭美食文化。自疫情以來，攤位數量增長了 十倍。目前在街道兩旁和特設的「美食餐車城」中，有超過百個 色彩繽紛的小攤位，為比羅夫街景增添不少魅力。這些老闆大 多專注於一種料理，秉持日本職人精神精益求精，美味可期。 歡迎將您最愛的美食照片標記 @powderlife，我們很樂意在 社群平台分享。

NISEKO-YO EXPANDS UP THE MOUNTAIN

Niseko Village’s world of dining and entertainment – Niseko-yo – expands this year with several new restaurants. The one we’re most excited about is Valhalla (pictured left), named after the Nordic “Hall of the Gods” and the highest venue in Niseko at 1,130m elevation. Keep an eye out for it as you descend from the Niseko Village Gondola. Back at village level there are several exciting new outlets in the Japanese Edoera-style dining and entertainment village, including a live seafood restaurant, a tonkatsu restaurant, and a high-end café and wine bar operated by Hilton Niseko Village. Guests staying at Niseko Village are spoiled for choice, while people staying in Hirafu can catch the free bus from the Welcome Centre.

二世古村的美食娛樂版圖今年再度擴大，新增多家餐廳，其中包括海拔1000米處翻新的Lookout Café滑雪後酒吧。從二世 古村纜車下山時，您必定能一眼認出。在山腳下的江戶時代風格二世古餐飲村，也新開了幾家令人期待的餐廳，包括現撈海鮮 料理、炸豬排專門店，以及由二世谷希爾頓酒店經營的高級咖啡酒吧。對住在二世古村的賓客來說選擇豐富，而比羅夫的住客 也可搭乘遊客中心的免費巴士來品味。

HACKWORTH’S HANAZONO

ONE MAN’S VISION, A LASTING LEGACY

When Colin Hackworth stumbled upon Hanazono during a ski trip with friends in 2003 he discovered a hidden gem. His imagination lit up and his visionary legacy began.

PLANNED CONNECTING GONDOLA TO MT WEISS

MT WEISS

NISEKO HANAZONO RESORT

It was here, amidst untouched powder and simple charm, that Colin saw something that no one had before – a future where Hanazono could evolve to become a global beacon of premier powder skiing. “Hanazono had something special, something that couldn’t be replicated,” he says. “Pristine powder snow, in unbelievable quantities.”

At that time Hanazono was merely an extension of Grand Hirafu, just three lifts connecting the resorts and a demountable building at the base housing a makeshift lunch shack. It was barely a ski resort. But Hackworth – who dedicated his life to skiing, working in resorts across the world throughout his 45-year career – saw an underutilised powder paradise that was literally a blank canvas. “This was a huge part of the appeal,” he says. “We could start from scratch without having to fix any mistakes from before us.”

Fast forward two decades and Hanazono is now arguably the jewel in the crown of the Niseko United ski resort, underpinned by the marque ski-in/ski-out Park Hyatt Niseko hotel. This is further enhanced by plans to connect a “peak-to-peak”-style gondola to the adjacent Weiss Mountain that resort-owner PCPD has acquired.

This profound transformation can be traced directly to Hackworth’s vision and leadership. It could be said that this vision has been one of the most significant catalysts for the evolution of Niseko into its present day status amongst the world’s premier ski resorts. Hackworth’s impact on Hanazono, and the greater Niseko region, has not only reshaped the resort but has also set a new standard for what a Japanese ski destination can be.

For those who know Hanazono, the story of its transformation is synonymous with Colin Hackworth’s name and his ever-present brightblue Hanazono branded ski outfit. His visionary leadership has not only created a world-class resort but has also established a legacy that will define ski resort development in Japan for decades to come.

With Hackworth this year stepping aside from his role as president and passing the baton on to the next generation of Hanazono custodians, it’s with enormous gratitude that we take a moment to recognise his contribution to the region and his standing as one of the founding fathers of modern Niseko.

2003年，Colin Hackworth 偕好友來日滑雪，偶然之下發現花 園（Hanazono）這片世外桃源。眼前的世界讓他靈光一閃，鑄 下往後一段傳奇的開端。

原封未動的粉雪，簡樸純淨的四野，在Hackworth眼中，這裡 有著前所未有的機遇——一片極具潛力發展成全球頂級粉雪 滑雪場的天地，就在跟前。「『花園』擁有獨一無二的特色，而 這些特色是無法在別處複製的。」 Hackworth說：「這裡的新 鮮粉雪，多得令人難以置信。」

當時，花園滑雪場只是格蘭比羅夫滑雪場(Grand ＨＩＲＡＦ Ｕ) 的延伸。兩個滑雪場之間，僅以三部電梯連接，山麓也只有 一間臨時午餐館。這樣的組合，根本難以稱得上是滑雪場。然 而，Hackworth卻看到一個未來的粉雪天堂。他認為，花園滑 雪場是一幅潔白無瑕的畫布。「這是吸引我的一大主因。」他 說：「我們可以由零開始，省卻糾正錯誤的功夫。」

二十年過去，現在的花園滑雪場稱得上「二世古聯合滑雪場」 的重鎮之寶，主打滑雪進出的奢華酒店二世古花園柏悅酒店 （Park Hyatt Niseko）也落戶於此，便是一大佐證。滑雪 場正計劃將「峰對峰」式纜車連接到滑雪場擁有者盈大地產 (PCPD) 所收購的毗鄰Mt. Weiss，令花園滑雪場勢將如虎添 翼。

花園滑雪場的大革新，可歸功於Hackworth的高瞻遠觸與領 導才能。其獨到眼光，是讓二世古發展成為當今世界頂尖滑雪 勝地的要素之一。Hackworth對花園滑雪場區域及整個二世 古地區的影響舉足輕重，不僅為滑雪場刷新面貌，更為日本滑 雪勝地奠下新標準。

如果您去過或聽過花園滑雪場，它的蛻變故事正是Colin Hackworth及其經典花園滑雪場藍色滑雪服的代名詞。他的 遠大目光，不僅成就一個世界級滑雪場的誕生，更為日本滑雪 場未來數十載的發展樹立典範。

Hackworth 今年辭去總裁一職，將接力棒交予新一代「花園」 傳人。我們藉此衷心感激他對二世古的深遠貢獻，並向這位現 代二世古之父致以最崇高敬意。

NISEKO JAZZ FESTIVAL HITS

Acclaimed musicians from across Japan lit up the al fresco courtyard of the Setsu Niseko hotel this summer to give life to a new summer event, the Niseko Jazz Festival. The stellar lineup showcased the genre’s full spectrum, from classic to contemporary. The inaugural event set a high bar for future festivals and promises to become a beloved summer tradition in Niseko. Details at nisekojazzfestival.com.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF MOUNTAIN LIGHTS

The summer evenings of Hanazono Ski Resort are illuminated by a meander of gently shimmering fibre-optic plumes of light, accompanied by an ethereal soundtrack floating through the air. It’s a totally unique and serenely surreal atmosphere brought to life by internationally renowned light artist Bruce Munro, whose creations have been described as “art you feel, rather than art you view”. A must feel Niseko summer experience – details at mountain-lights.com

花園滑雪場的夏夜被光纖燈帶點綴得流光溢彩，伴隨著空 中迴盪的空靈樂音，營造出超凡脫俗的氛圍。這片獨特而寧 靜的夢幻景觀出自國際知名光影藝術家 Bruce Munro 之 手，其作品被譽為「山之光：用心感受的藝術，而非僅供觀賞 的藝術」。這是二世古夏季不容錯過的體驗——詳情請見 mountain-lights.com。

JOLLY

FOX INTERNATIONAL: THE “US OPEN OF NISEKO” KEEPS FANS COMING BACK

Kenton Williams and Xu Yang, teamed up to take out the third annual Jolly Fox International in July.

Coined the “US Open of Niseko”, the Jolly Fox Niseko franchise was spawned out of the peak of COVID lockdowns in 2020 as locals used the opportunity to socialise on the wide-open fairways. It uses an innovative tournament format with a focus on fun, but at the same time, serious competition.

Two-person teams are made up of a fox (a low handicapper) and a mouse (a high handicapper). The unique random handicap pairing system means teams cannot rely solely on the skills of one golfer. Together they compete in a 54-hole tournament across three different round formats – Best Ball, Scramble and Alternate Shot. Hole-in-one and putting mini-competitions with prizes up for grabs are embedded along the way. A gala dinner at the prestigious Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono caps off the festivities.

BOOM TOWN FROM FARMLAND TO POWDER POSTER CHILD

STORY K RISTIAN LUND ARCHIVAL PHOTOS COURTESY OF HIDETOSHI SATO

Check out the Hirafu lift lines in the 1970s. Now let us tell you this is nothing compared to the 1980s. ニセコへの脚光。 それは、 １９８０年代に遡る。そのきっかけを 作ったのは、

If you think Niseko is popular now, the 1980s were the golden age of skiing in Japan, and Niseko was bursting at the seams. The domestic ski industry was exploding, with new resorts opening across the country. About 100 were built in Hokkaido alone between 1960 and 1980. It was a ski boom unlike any before it. Local Japanese residents say the lift lines and the number of skiers on the slopes surpassed even today’s peak season crowds.

N iseko was originally founded on the hospitality of locals in the 1960s when seven farming families in Hirafu Village opened their homes to host competitive and recreational skiers. They provided lodging, meals, and warm Hokkaido hospitality after long, cold days spent skiing the slopes

that are the foundation of today’s world-famous international ski resort. Hotels, ryokans, and pensions followed in the 1970s and 1980s as the resort village grew in line with the popularity of skiing.

Interestingly, there were very few foreigners in those decades, as Japan wasn’t yet a mainstream tourism destination. The wider ski world also hadn’t discovered the quality and quantity of Japan’s snow. That all began to change in the 1990s, slowly at first with a small number of intrepid skiers and snowboarders, but gaining momentum with the evolution of powder-specific skis and snowboards, and international visitors starting to discover this powder frontier. By the early 2000s, significant

11 FEBRUARY, 1973: LOOKING UP GRAND HIRAFU FROM THE OLD KOGEN HOTEL – ABOUT WHERE MUWA NISEKO HOTEL STANDS NOW. THE LIFT ON THE FAR RIGHT IS WHERE THE HIRAFU GONDOLA IS TODAY

numbers of Australian skiers were making their way to Niseko. Purely by word of mouth, visitor numbers doubled year after year, as Aussies returned home with stories of a magical winter wonderland where it snowed almost every day, the food was incredible, the people were polite and hospitable, and you could recuperate in a hot spring at the end of the day. It had all the ingredients of a skiing paradise, and within a few years word spread across Asia.

It’s incredible to think that what started as a small community of farmers welcoming skiers into their homes has evolved into one of the world’s premier ski destinations. Visitors now come from across the globe for the powder but stay for the unique blend of culture, adventure, and hospitality. While the faces and nationalities may have changed, the essence of Niseko continues to captivate skiers and snowboarders, generation after generation.

LOOKING OVER HIRAFU VILLAGE FROM NIKABE COURSE – 1969 & 2024

如果您認為二世古現在已人氣爆燈，那1980 年代便稱得上是日本滑雪的黃金時代，那時候 二世古的發展亦如日方中。其時日本國內滑雪 業呈爆炸式增長，全國各地都有新滑雪場開 幕。1960年至1980年間，單在北海道就有多 達約100 個滑雪場。這場滑雪熱潮盛況空前， 日本人甚至說，纜車和雪坡上的人潮，比現在 的旺季有過之而無不及。

1960年代，二世古因當地人熱情待客而開 始發展起來。當時比羅夫村內七個農戶敞開 家門，親切接待一眾來參與競技或旅遊的滑 雪者。農戶們為在雪坡上飽受冰寒一天的滑 雪者提供住宿、膳食以及北國的熱切款待， 為二世古日後成為知名國際滑雪場奠定基 礎。1970至1980年代，隨著滑雪度假村擴大 及滑雪普及，一眾酒店、日式旅館及膳宿旅館 如雨後春筍冒起。

有趣的是，在那幾十年間，因為當時日本還未 成為主流旅遊勝地，因此外國面孔在二世古 並不常見，而日本的雪質之高、數量之多，亦仍 未被世界認識。1990年代，情況開始出現變 化。起初，勇於踏足二世古的滑雪者仍寥寥可

數，但隨著粉雪專用滑雪板興起，二世古開始 為人所熟悉，甚至開始吸引海外旅客的目光。 2000年代初，大量澳洲滑雪者到訪二世古。 憑著口碑，二世古的旅客人數每年以倍計攀 升。滑雪度假後興奮回國的澳洲人，與親朋好 友分享二世古幾乎天天下雪、美食讓人垂涎三 尺、日本人有禮切親，以及每天滑雪後享用温 泉的經歷。這個地方，可謂將滑雪天堂的重要 元素全部齊集一身。於是短短幾年間，「二世 古」的名堂便響遍整個亞洲。

由當初單純款待滑雪者的小農社區，躍身成為 當今全球頂尖滑雪勝地，如此巨大蛻變實在 讓人驚嘆。現在，全球旅客無不衝著「粉雪」 前來二世古，同時因著這裡的獨有文化、戶外 體驗與日式款待而樂不思蜀。隨著年代變遷， 二世古已人面全非，旅客國藉也與當年不盡相 同，但其非凡魅力仍依舊讓它成為一代又一代 滑雪者心馳神往的白色世界。

NISEKO’S SECRET BACKCOUNTRY MUD ONSEN

Each year in Powderlife we introduce one of Niseko’s onsen hot spring baths you must experience, but we’ve never introduced one like this before… this is an onsen that is not on Google Maps, and in fact you will need to hire a backcountry ski guide to find it.

It’s an onsen where there is no entry fee. There are no change rooms, no showers, no relaxation room with vending machines and massage chairs. There is also no separation between men’s and women’s baths… actually, there is only one bath, and it is the largest and most spectacular rotenburo (open air bath) in Niseko.

Reaching this secret onsen is no simple task. Accessible only by snowshoes or backcountry ski touring equipment, this onsen experience is not for the faint of heart. But for those willing to make the effort, the reward is an unforgettable soak in Mother Nature’s most spectacular hot tub.

The onsen is a large, open-air pool bubbling with 40C+ water and natural gases, the pungent odour of egg-smelling sulphur released from the earth filling the air. The floor of the pool is made of thick, mineral-rich mud that is said to have skin-beautifying properties. You can scoop up the warm paste and apply it all over your body as a natural mud pack.

The water temperature can vary, with some areas pleasantly warm while others bubble with intense heat from geothermal activity below. The pond is about 50m in

diameter, and the bottom falls away the further you venture in. We tried to find out for this article but we couldn’t verify the depth and no one was willing to dive down to find out!

After you leave, the sulphur smell clings to your skin, you’re warm to the core, and the peaceful solitude of the backcountry surrounds you. This isn’t a manicured onsen experience – it’s nature’s version of luxury, and it’s worth every step of the journey.

每年，Powderlife都會介紹一處不容錯過的二世古溫泉，但這次登場的 主角可謂聞所未聞.....就算用Google地圖也無法定位。只有跟著野外滑 雪導遊，方能找到這片秘境。

這個隱世溫泉雖然不設入場費，卻也沒有更衣室、淋浴、自動售貨機或 設按摩椅的休息室，甚至沒有男、女湯之分。現場只得一個浴池，也是二 世古最大、最壯觀的露天風呂。

要前往溫泉並非易事，必須穿上雪鞋或野外滑雪裝備才能成事，怕麻煩 的人聽到這裡可能已打退堂鼓。但若您願意勞動筋骨，當可享受最佳回 報——在極致壯觀的天然熱水浴中，享受畢生難忘的温泉體驗。

秘境溫泉其實是個大型露天浴池，攝氏40度以上的水蘊含天然氣，空 氣中則彌漫著泥土釋放的強烈硫磺味。浴池底部是富含礦物質的厚厚泥 漿，據說具有美容功效。您可以舀起溫熱泥漿，塗抹全身，享受全天然泥 漿面膜。

泉水溫度或因位置而有所不同，有些部分温暖宜人，有些部分則因地熱 活動的高溫而沸騰。温泉直徑約50米，越往內走，水位越深。為了取材， 我們曾嘗試探索温泉的最深深度，但答案暫時仍是個謎。

泡完温泉後，硫磺的氣味會附在皮膚上一段時間。熱泥漿簇擁著身體， 讓人由肌膚暖入心。放眼山岳環抱，孤寂的氛圍，令心靈頃刻得以澄 靜。這非一般的温泉體驗，是大自然為您精心準備的奢華享受，讓您攀 山涉水前來的每一步，都滿載意義。

PRIVATE GEISHA PERFORMANCES IN YOUR ACCOMMODATION

The word geisha is composed of two Japanese characters: “芸” (gei), meaning “art,” and “ 者” (sha), meaning “person” or “practitioner”. So, geisha translates to “person of the arts” or “artist”. It refers to people trained in traditional Japanese performing arts, such as dance, music, and tea ceremony, who entertain guests with their skills. There used to be 300 geisha in Hokkaido, however now there are only about 10 genuine geisha remaining. Visitors to Niseko can have a genuine geisha perform in their accommodation.

NUPURIAN NISEKO HONEY SKIN CARE RANGE

Dry skin, thanks to the cold, moisture-sapping ski resort air, is the most common complaint at Smooth Niseko Beauty Salon. This gave salon owner Kasumi Sakashita a golden idea – to create a range of a natural skincare products born from the local environment for visitors. The key ingredient in Nupurian’s products – including moisture milk, glow serum and soap – is honey made by bees feasting on acacia and other flowers in the Niseko hillsides in spring. Honey is an excellent natural humectant, attracting moisture and helping retain it. Try it out with a treatment at Smooth in Upper Hirafu above Jam Bar (smoothniseko.com).

For the past decade, Kiyoe Hosokawa has been weaving together the grassroots of the Niseko art scene. This year she opened a new gallery in the historic onsen and warehouse precinct in Niseko Town.

Kiyoe-san says she sees the newly refurbished space as a platform for Hokkaido artists to reach an international audience. “It can sometimes be difficult for Hokkaido artists to compete in large commercial galleries,” Kiyoe-san says. “I see Niseko as an important bridge between Japan and the world, so I am happy to help introduce Hokkaido art to a new audience.”

S he says unlike on the mainland, Hokkaido art is relatively young, and artists are experimenting with new techniques and materials more so than traditional Japanese art. Works often express the mood of the landscape, using natural materials and muted tones.

T he gallery features paintings, calligraphy, photography, sculptures, textile art and more. Exhibiting artists range from internationally acclaimed “Japanese Living Treasures” through to exciting upcoming talents from Hokkaido. It’s located opposite the charming old Niseko Train Station.

她更指出，與日本本州相比，北海道的藝術歷史相 對年輕，相較於傳統日本藝術，這裡的藝術家更願 意嘗試新的技法與媒材。北海道的藝術作品往往 呈現出獨特的地域風景意境，善用自然素材與溫 和色調來表達創作理念。

SUISAN

While Niseko is known for its buzzing international ski resort atmosphere, just minutes from the slopes is Niseko’s only traditional Japanese ryokan inn, Raku Suisan. Staying in a ryokan is a deeply immersive cultural experience that combines relaxation, refined hospitality, and the elegance of traditional Japanese living. WHERE TIME, NATURE AND THE SENSES

Raku Suisan, Shin Nihonkai Ferry Authent Hotels

Ryokan are usually located in scenic areas like hot spring towns in the mountains or by the sea, offering city-weary Japanese folk respite from daily life. For international visitors, Raku Suisan offers an opportunity to play in the powder snow during the day, before retreating to relax and recuperate for the next in traditional Japanese style.

Raku Suisan has just 18 suites hidden away across different corners of the 2-hectare property. Every suite enjoys uninterrupted views of Mt Yotei, and is equipped with a kakenagashi (continuously flowing) private onsen bath to soothe away any muscle aches and pains.

J apan places immense value on the preparation, presentation and enjoyment of food. There is deep respect for seasonal ingredients and the artistry of cooking. Meals are an opportunity to appreciate balance and

harmony as much as sustenance.

A t Raku Suisan, dinner and breakfast are included in the lodging rate, and are an integral part of the holistic experience. While ryokan usually only have one dining space, Raku Suisan boasts three signature restaurants: Irifune, offering Japanese kaiseki style dining; teppanyaki restaurant Kaioh; and Hokkaido-influenced French restaurant, Yukiai-Tei. The style and selection of restaurants allow guests to dine according to the mood of the day, and appreciate the best of Hokkaido produce from land and sea.

Raku Suisan was founded by Shin Nihonkai (Sea of Japan) Ferry company and infuses Hokkaido’s seafaring history into its guest experience and interior design. Curated artworks and historical artefacts tell the stories of Japan’s maritime history and the Kitamaebune (Northern Sea Route ships).

HOKKAIDO’S HÜTTE CULTURE

A Tradition of Wilderness and Community

STORY A ARON JAMIESON

PHOTOS ROB THOMSON

Hokkaido, Japan’s wildest island, is known for its breathtaking landscapes— expansive forests, rugged mountains, and tranquil lakes. Amid this wilderness lies a unique tradition: the island’s rustic hut culture, or “yama no ie” (mountain houses) and “hyutte” (huts).

Rooted in a deep connection with nature, these huts embody the spirit of Hokkaido’s outdoor life and the region’s closeknit communities. Hut culture in Hokkaido originated in the early 20th century as simple shelters for hunters, fishermen, and foresters who sought refuge from the island’s often harsh weather.

Over time, these shelters evolved into more permanent structures used by mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts as bases for exploring Hokkaido’s remote, wild areas. Influenced by European alpine hütte traditions, Japanese mountaineers began building and expanding these huts to aid in safe exploration, though they remained basic and rustic.

Unlike the commercialised lodges common in other parts of the world, Hokkaido’s mountain huts are unassuming and community-driven. Most are maintained by local mountaineering clubs, universities, or local villages rather than private businesses or government agencies. These huts are often free or inexpensive, reflecting their role as communal resources. In contrast to huts elsewhere in Japan, which tend to be privately owned, Hokkaido’s huts are open to

the public out of goodwill, maintained by volunteers who view them as part of a shared cultural heritage.

What makes Hokkaido’s huts special is not only their setting amongst some of the most stunning landscapes on the island, but also the culture surrounding them. These huts are more than just places to stay; they are cherished symbols of local pride and community. Guests are expected to follow a unique and unspoken code of etiquette, grounded in Japanese values of respect and cleanliness. Before leaving, visitors sweep floors, carry out their trash, and restock wood supplies—demonstrating gratitude for the shelter and the people who maintain it.

D ays based in Hokkaido’s huts are spent hiking, skiing, or enjoying the quiet beauty of the island’s natural wonder. Evenings bring communal meals and conversations, turning strangers into friends. For foreign visitors, experiencing this hut culture means embracing a tradition where nature and community come first.

北海道作為日本最原始的島嶼，以其令人屏息的自然景觀聞名——廣闊

的森林、崎嶇的山脈和寧靜的湖泊。在這片荒野中，孕育著一項獨特的 傳統：島上質樸的山屋文化，當地稱之為「山之家」和「山小屋」。

這些山屋植根於與大自然的深厚連結，體現了北海道戶外生活的精神與 當地緊密的社群關係。北海道的山屋文化可追溯至二十世紀初期，最初 的功能僅是獵人、漁夫和林務人員避寒的簡易庇護所。

隨著時間推移，這些庇護所逐漸發展成為登山者和戶外愛好者探索北 海道偏遠野地的基地。受到歐洲阿爾卑斯山傳統的影響，日本登山者開 始建造並擴建這些山屋，以確保探險安全，但依然保持著簡樸的本質。

有別於世界各地常見的商業化山莊，北海道的山屋樸實無華，由社群驅 動。大多數山屋由當地登山俱樂部、大學或村莊社區維護，而非私人企 業或政府機構經營。這些山屋通常免費或收費低廉，反映其作為公共資 源的角色。與日本其他地區多為私人擁有的山屋不同，北海道的山屋基 於善意對外開放，由眾多視其為共同文化遺產的志願者一起用心地維 護著。

北海道山屋的特別之處，不僅在於它們座落在島上最壯麗的自然景觀 之中，更在於圍繞著它們的文化。這些山屋不僅是過夜之處，更是當地 引以為傲的社群象徵。訪客需要遵守一套獨特且不成文的禮儀：這些 禮儀源自日本人重視『尊重』與『整潔』的原則。離開前，訪客會打掃地 板、帶走垃圾、補充木柴供應——以此表達對庇護所及維護者的感謝 之意。

在北海道山屋度過的日子，可以登山、滑雪，或享受島上自然奇觀的寧 靜之美。夜晚時分，共享餐點並與陌生人交談成為朋友。對外國遊客而 言，體驗這種山屋生活意味著擁抱一個將自然與社群置於首位的傳統， 以及無與倫比的文化體驗。

ASAHIDAKE

The Summit of the Playground of the Gods

Standing at the summit of the mighty Daisetsuzan Mountain Range in central Hokkaido is Asahidake – the highest peak on the island and the crowning jewel of the mountains the indigenous Ainu people named Kamui Mintara – The Playground of the Gods.

It’s typically the first place in Japan where snow settles each autumn, and the last from where it melts in early summer. Its status as the island’s highest peak draws nature and adventure seekers year round more than any other mountain in Hokkaido – to hike in spring and summer, view the autumn colours in fall, and to ski and snowboard in winter. Nestled at the base of the gondola station there is just a handful of places to stay, each with its own individual charm and unique onsen experience.

Billowing fumaroles near the peak blast out a super-hot, toxic, sulphuric gas. A constant cloud rising from these fissures in the mountain is a reminder that the volcanic heart of these mountains is still very much alive.

Skiing Asahidake is a special experience and the anticipation builds as you approach by car through the flat farmlands of Higashikawa. Typically, the peak is hidden from view by inclement weather but this towering mountain still holds a foreboding presence. The drive from the foot of the range climbs almost 1km in elevation up winding, snow-covered mountain roads to the 1,100m ropeway base station. Here you gear up, buy your tickets, and wait for the next cable car – around every 20 minutes in winter. You, and up to 100 others, cram into the cabin for the 10-minute, standing-room only ride up. The view of the enchanted snowcovered forests on the way up is nothing short of breathtaking.

The ropeway terminates at 1,600m where you will likely be welcomed with icy gales and wind chill regularly pushing below -20 degrees Celsius. With the weather changing quickly at this altitude, a sunny day can turn to an impenetrable whiteout in a matter of minutes. It’s cold, windy and wild, and some would say not all that welcoming. Asahidake is not a ski resort, there’s no ski patrol and just a couple of groomed trails that help make the return to the cable car possible.

That’s what makes this place so special. It’s wild; it’s the pinnacle of Hokkaido.

Then there’s the powder. The consistent cold temperatures help to create ultra-dry snow, a variety almost unique to this high-altitude Hokkaido peak. Flakes don’t clump together like goose feathers as often as they do in Niseko. I can remember several days in Asahidake, riding through the trees enveloped in what was more like a magical vapour than perfect snow. The driest and deepest days of my life have been here and I’m sure many others would say the same.

PHOTO KENGO TAKAYAMA

For a few days every winter the weather may stabilise enough to attempt a hike to the 2,291m summit. This ski-touring route traverses an alien landscape of white, passing the fumaroles with yellow sulphur spewing forth from roaring, rocky vents. The route beyond to the wind-lashed peak can be icy and treacherous, but standing atop this iconic mountain with the rest of the world below you is literally the peak of skiing in Hokkaido.

聳立在北海道中部大雪山脈之頂的旭岳，是這座島嶼中 最高的峰頂，也是原住民愛奴族稱之為「眾神遊玩的庭園」 （Kamui Mintara）的山脈中最璀璨的明珠。

每年秋季，旭岳都是日本第一個迎來白雪的地方，也是 初夏時節最後一個融雪的所在。作為北海道最高峰的地 位，使它比島上任何其他山峰都更吸引著嚮往自然與冒險 的人們在四季造訪——春夏登山健行、秋賞紅葉、冬季滑 雪。這裡住宿選擇雖然不多，但每一處都擁有壯麗的露天 溫泉。

接近峰頂處，噴氣孔噴發出高溫的有毒硫磺氣體。從山體

裂縫中持續升起的雲霧，提醒著人們這座火山的心臟依 然充滿活力。

在旭岳滑雪是一種獨一無二的體驗。在準備下滑之前， 你需要經歷一系列步驟，每個步驟都令人期待感，且逐 漸堆疊。首先需從海拔接近零的山腳開車到海拔1,100 米的纜車站。在這裡準備裝備、購票，然後等待在冬季 期間每20分鐘一班的纜車。你將與多達100位其他遊 客一同擠進纜車廂，站著度過10分鐘的路程。沿途可 見覆蓋著白雪的森林美景，令人屏息。

纜車終點站位於海拔1,600米處，你可能會遇到冰冷的 強風，體感溫度經常低於零下20度。在這樣的高度，天 氣瞬息萬變，晴空萬里可能在幾分鐘內轉為白茫茫一片。

這裡寒冷、多風且氣候狂野，有人會說這裡並不十分友 善。這裡沒有滑雪巡邏員，只有幾條壓過雪的雪道讓滑 雪者可以順利返回纜車站。

正是這些特點使這個地方如此特別。它是野性的；是北 海道山脈的脊樑。

另外最不能忽略的當然還有這裡的『粉雪』。持續地低 溫造就了超乾燥的雪質，這幾乎是這個北海道高海拔 山峰獨有的特色，雪花不像二世谷 那樣經常凝結成團。我記得在旭岳 的幾天裡，穿梭在樹林間，被包圍 在更像是魔幻霧氣而非完美雪花 的環境中。我這輩子經歷過最乾燥、 最深的粉雪就在這裡，相信很多人 也會有同感。

每年冬季都會有幾天天氣穩定到足 以嘗試攀登2,291米的峰頂。這條 滑雪登山路線經過噴氣孔，穿越一 片彷彿外星般的景觀：白雪覆蓋的 地表上，黃色的硫磺從轟鳴的岩石 裂縫中噴出。通往受風浪衝擊的峰 頂的路途可能結冰且危險，但站在 這座標誌性山峰之頂峰，俯瞰腳下 世界的體驗，確實是北海道滑雪的 最高境界。

Located within the private and luxurious HakuVillas, guests are taken on a j ourney through the very best of Hokkaido produce. Enjoy seafood from the bountiful oceans surrounding the north of Japan, local vegetables from the fertile soils at the base of Mt Yotei and the highlight of the menu, the exclusively sourced, Shiraoi A4 wagyu beef.

The HakuSteak course menu combines these world class ingredients and infuses them with influences from Shanghai to London to the Mediterranean. T he restaurant’s most famous dish, the HakuSteak, is a generous portion of A4 wagyu, seasoned with truffle, pepper and Himalayan salt, finished in a Josper charcoal oven. Imported from Barcelona, the oven engulfs the steak in flames of over 600C and creates a crisp, Chicago-style charcoal layer on the outside, while leaving the interior soft and buttery.

Dining at HakuSteak is by reservation only – contact us by phone, email or via website. Available to only a small number of groups each night.

For reservations, 3 days advance booking is required.

NISEKO BION WOOD-FIRED ITALIAN & STEAK

INCREDIBLE WOOD-FIRED & CHARCOAL ITALIAN BY JAPANESE CHEF

I talian restaurant NisekoBion is headed by European-trained chef Naoki Matsuoka. NisekoBion is located in LodgeTONY Niseko, nestled alongside the forest of Izumikyo in East Hirafu. It has been an overwhelming favourite on the Niseko dining scene since opening in 2017.

C hef Matsuoka was born and raised in Chitose, and has worked at restaurants in Singapore and Tokyo. Before that he trained for many years in France and Italy. He has been running "Ristorante e Caffe Nao" in Chitose City for more than 20 years, but has always kept an eye on the world-class international ski resort of Niseko. Thanks to the support of loyal fans who continue to be impressed by Matsuoka-san’s Italian style featuring only local Hokkaido produce that can n ever be tasted anywhere else, he decided to open a restaurant in Niseko.

Chef Matsuoka's speciality is meat grilled over wood fire and charcoal. Carefully selected Hokkaido Kuroge Wagyu beef, venison from female deer, and porchetta pork are baked soft and juicy over charcoal, while taking advantage of the smoke flavour of the firewood. His more than a quarter of a century of experience guarantees the perfect taste.

Chef Matsuoka's cooking style at NisekoBion is different from the orthodox Italian, and Japanese taste is abundantly incorporated. Hokkaido Kuroge Wagyu beef is served with mountain wasabi, oma tuna i s served with Hokkaido sea urchin, and matcha tiramisu is served in a square, wooden masu sake cup at the end of the course. Chef Matsuoka knows Hokkaido and is sure to use only the best local seasonal i ngredients. Therefore, at NisekoBion, there is no a la carte menu, only course meals because he pays close attention to sourcing the best ingredients that can be purchased at specific times. In addition to French and Italian wines, we also offer a lineup of rare Hokkaido wines such as Domaine Takahiko and Norakura.

NISEKO . WINTER 2025

EDITOR’S NOTE

After a decade of condominium-lead resort development we appear to be in the midst of a slow turn towards lower density land and villa development. There are still hotel and condo projects underway and in planning, but several have stalled as post-COVID costs far surpass pre-COVID pricing. One agent says, “The condo market isn’t dead, it’s just treading water.” Another expects a lag to continue in the short term before price expectations realign with construction costs, along with a new generation of Niseko converts buying in.

A s the rich and famous from Asia continue to invest heavily in Niseko, European and North American-style year-round villa lifestyle aspirations appear to be playing into purchase decisions. Awareness of Niseko’s four seasons and temperate summers are driving more people towards this unique, sophisticated year-round Hokkaido resort.

Meanwhile, ever more savvy Japanese buyers and developers are taking notice of Niseko as one of “the” investment and international resort lifestyle opportunities in the country, with plenty of examples of serious Japanese development and investment taking place.

Powderlife has been Niseko’s only independent real estate news source since 2007. Stay up to date with the latest news affecting the Niseko market, and property listings from the leading agents at Powderlife.com.

STORY KRISTIAN LUND

PHOTOS AARON JAMIESON

Niseko’s most spectacular homes these days are built on the most naturally spectacular sites.

There’s no shortage of wild, alpine landscape across Niseko where one can find their own unique slice of paradise. Yet this villa, straddling a cliff and overlooking a mountain stream and forested hillside, is literally right in the middle of Niseko’s resort hub, Hirafu – walking distance to the best restaurants and minutes’ drive from the ski lifts. It goes without saying that sites such as this in Hirafu are exceedingly rare.

The property is the first to be developed in boutique, master-planned estate, Corniche. Looking out into the forest on the eastern border of Middle Hirafu, the estate has plots for just four grand residences along a private, heated avenue with underground power and green space.

Designed by prominent Niseko architect Riccardo Tossani, the estate’s roadway is at village level, but the completed and future villas are cantilevered into a cliff face where the land falls away. This results in just one or two storeys visible above street level, but a total height of up to 22m.

Tossani says it also results in soaring, 6m-high ceilings. “The height zoning allows multiple floors with double-height ceilings and dramatic void spaces,” he says. “Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows enable celebration of light and space –a rare feature in Japan and hallmark of true luxury and commodious living. Abundant use of stone, timber and darker tones integrated with soft, indirect illumination complements the everchanging quality of light and alpine beauty of Niseko’s four distinct seasons.”

Tossani says inspiration came from the old-growth silver-birch forest, the drama of the cliff-edge setting and the breathtaking views. “The quiet of the forest and charm of its burbling stream demanded planning that ensured privacy for the villa’s onsen, stunning views as well as direct access to the river valley below,” Tossani says.

The 580sqm residence has four en suite bedrooms, entertainment rooms, home theatre,

自然の静寂と 雄大さに溶け込む、その大空間と意匠。

private outdoor hot-spring bath, coldwater spring-fed plunge pool, sauna, gym, wine cellar and elevator. Sustainability credentials include onsen heat exchange, natural spring well and a Tesla Powerwall.

The villa is owned by Masayuki Yamakawa, a plastic surgeon and cofounder of publicly listed stem cell therapy company, CellSource. Also a keen skier, cyclist and champion triathlete, he visits Niseko year-round to ski, cycle and gather with family and friends. His favourite parts of the home are both outdoors and overlooking the stream – the sunken

balcony conversation pit with its outdoor gas fireplace and the rotenburo onsen (natural hot spring) bath.

在二世古廣闊的高山景觀中，要尋找屬於自己獨 特的一片天地並不困難。然而，這座跨立在懸崖 之上，俯瞰山溪和林木蔥鬱山坡的別墅，卻恰恰 位於二世古度假村比羅夫的核心位置——步行 可達最棒的餐廳，開車數分鐘即可抵達滑雪纜車 站。毋庸置疑，比羅夫如此地段真正可以說是『 彌足珍貴』。

這座住宅是精品規劃社區Corniche的首座建案。 社區坐落於中段比羅夫東側的原始森林之畔，沿 著一條配備地下電力設施、綠意盎然的私人加熱 道路，規劃著五座豪華住宅地塊。

這座由二世古著名建築師Riccardo Tossani設計 的社區，其道路與村落齊平，但已完工和未來的別 墅則懸臂式地懸掛在懸崖表面。這樣的設計使得 街道層面僅見一至二層樓高，但實際總高度可達 22米或五層樓。

Tossani表示，這樣的設計也創造出令人驚嘆的6 米挑高天花板。「高度分區讓我們能打造多個樓層， 配備雙層挑高和戲劇性的中空設計，」他說。

「落地窗的設計讓光線與空間得以充分展現——這 在日本是罕見的特色，也是真正奢華舒適生活的標 誌。大量運用石材、木材和深色調，結合柔和的間

接照明，與二世古四季分明的高山美景和不斷變換 的光影相得益彰。」

Tossani指出，設計靈感來自原生白樺樹林、懸崖 邊際的戲劇性地貌，以及令人屏息的羊蹄山景致。

「森林的寧靜與潺潺溪流的魅力，促使我們在規劃 時特別注重別墅溫泉的隱私性，同時確保壯麗的 景觀視野，以及直達下方河谷的通道。」

這座佔地580平方米的豪華別墅設有四間套房臥 室，多個娛樂空間，私人影院，戶外溫泉浴池，天 然冷泉池，桑拿房，健身房，酒窖以及電梯。在環保 設計方面，別墅採用溫泉熱能交換系統，自然湧泉，

以及特斯拉儲能牆配合太陽能充電系統。

別墅主人山川雅之是一位整形外科醫生，同時也 是上市幹細胞治療公司CellSource的共同創辦人。

作為一位熱衷滑雪的運動愛好者和鐵人三項冠軍 得主，他全年各個時期都會到二世古來滑雪、騎 乘單車，並與親朋好友相聚。在這座別墅中，他最 鍾愛的是配有戶外燃氣壁爐、可以俯瞰溪流的下 沉式露台談話空間，以及同樣景觀絕佳的露天溫 泉浴池。

LO VILLAS

族のための「つながり」が建物として具現化。

Connecting Family in Nature’s Embrace

Enveloped by forest on a ridge above the Shiribetsu River, Lo Villas rest in austere magnificence.

A powerful and stark concrete exterior presents a bold, captivating facade, softened by the all-encompassing forest. Meanwhile the interior is characterised by expansive glass panes, visually connecting open spaces and drawing the four seasons inside.

This commanding residence is another Makoto Nakayama Architects’ creation embedded into Niseko’s growing landscape of luxury architectural homes. The 1,500sqm, dual-villa complex is made up of a main building with seven bedrooms and two onsen, and a guest premises with four bedrooms and one onsen.

Designed as a retreat for a large extended family to spend time together in Niseko’s natural surrounds, it’s a peaceful contrast to bustling city life. The motivation to create this unique family home in Niseko was driven by a love of the winter ski season that saw the family returning ever-more frequently and in growing numbers. This has been coupled with the discovery of Niseko’s green season, where the villas have become a regular summer retreat for extended stays.

on a traditional courtyard house concept. Expansive glass walls connect the many unique spaces, while still allowing privacy and separation. As you enter the home, a voluminous genkan atrium provides glimpses into the living and dining areas across the entire ground level.

The interconnectivity of spaces is a deliberate feature of the home, says the family. “We wanted to have wide, open spaces in our common areas with large windows, almost as if the whole bottom floor was one large room,” they say. “This way everyone feels connected even if they aren’t in the same room.”

Nakayama-san says he put a lot of thought into achieving this connectedness, with particular attention to the family patriarch’s central cigar room – a private retreat albeit with 270-degree glass walls providing views into the main living areas and across the exterior deck to the forest. “He said he would spend a lot of time there, so I wanted to make sure it enjoyed interesting aspects to the other main living areas of the house,” Nakayama-san says.

The main villa in particular welcomes nature inside, with the expansive deck providing a beautiful summer outdoor living area. The interior spaces wrap around open-air water and garden features, which become snow sculptures shaped by nature in winter.

坐落於尻別川河畔山脊之上，被蔥鬱林木環抱的 Lo Villas別墅，展現出一份靜謐的典雅。

建築外觀以簡潔有力的混凝土打造，呈現出大膽 而迷人的立面，被周圍的森林柔和點綴。室內設計 則以寬闊的落地玻璃為特色，將開放空間自然連結， 讓四季風光全數引入室內，嘆為觀止。

這座氣勢非凡的建築是中山建築設計事務所在二 世古豪華建築群中的又一力作。整個雙別墅建築 群總面積達1,500平方米，主樓配備七間臥室和 兩個溫泉池，附屬的賓客別墅則設有四間臥室和

一個溫泉池。

作為一處供大家族共聚的度假居所，這裡與香港 繁忙的都市生活形成寧靜的對比，讓闔家沉浸於二 世古的自然環境之中。促使他們在二世古打造這座 獨特家園的契機，源於一家人對冬季滑雪的熱愛， 促使他們攜家帶眷、越發頻繁地造訪此地。隨後他 們更發現了二世古的夏季魅力，使這座別墅群也成 為了他們夏季延住的理想棲所。

家族成員在設計過程中與首席建築師中山真琴密 切合作，共同將傳統合院的概念加以創新演繹。寬 闊的玻璃幕牆將各個獨特空間巧妙連結，同時又 保持了適度的隱私與區隔。甫一入門，挑高的玄關 中庭就呈現出整個一樓客廳和餐廳區的開闊景致。

家族成員們認為空間的互聯互通是這座宅邸的精 心設計。「我們希望公共區域能擁有寬敞開放的 空間，配以大面落地窗，讓整個一樓宛如一個大 房間」他們說道。「這樣即便家人不在同一個空間，

依然能感受到彼此的存在。」

中山建築師表示，他在實現這種連通性上傾注了大 量心思，特別是在設計家族父親的雪茄室時。這 個私人空間雖是一處靜謐天地，但其270度環繞 式玻璃牆可將主要起居空間盡收眼底，更可透過 外部陽台遠眺森林景致。「他提到會在這裡度過 許多時光，因此我特別注重讓這個空間與房子其 他主要生活區域形成有趣的視覺互動，」中山建 築師解釋道。

中山建築師還著重營造室內空間與周遭自然美景 的和諧共融。主別墅尤其善於將自然引入室內，寬 闊的陽台在夏季提供了絕佳的戶外生活空間。室內 空間環繞著露天水景與庭園設計，到了冬季，這些 景觀元素更會化身為天然雕琢的雪之藝術。

Hilltop provides one of the rarest of luxuries in today’s world – your own discreet sanctuary, where nobody can find you unless you want them to.

This unique Niseko estate offers total privacy, where towering oak (水楢) and ash (アオダモ) trees provide natural walls between neighbours and the outside world. A s the name suggests, Hilltop is

situated on elevated land guaranteeing uninterrupted and permanently protected views of Mt Yotei, amidst an ancient woodland, rich with the sounds and aromas of a living, breathing alpine forest. The komorebi effect — the dance of sunlight filtering through leaves — truly captures the essence of life at Hilltop.

Planned in collaboration with worldrenowned Hokkaido architect Sou Fujimoto (藤本 壮介), Hilltop’s architecture is inspired by nature. The estate’s unique topography,

featuring two hills and mature trees, is thoughtfully designed to provide complete privacy from neighbouring properties.

Hilltop aims to preserve Niseko’s unique four-seasons environment – an ecology that co-exists with humanity, undisturbed by modern life. This is a place where skiing, dining, hiking and forest bathing all end with a private onsen in the comfort of your own home.

Hilltop is more than just a property development - it’s a gathering place for

Each plot is thoughtfully master planned to harmonize with the landscape, guided by the principle of responsible stewardship to protect this ancient woodland and ensure its balance for future generations. At Hilltop, every

JAPANESE QUALITY HOMES FOR UNDER $350K

M ODERN JAPANESE HOMES BUILT WITH NATURAL MATERIALS

Tsuchiya Kensetsu uses the traditional Japanese building method “zairai koho”, where the framework of a house is built with pillars and beams, fitted together with joints and without the need for screws or nails. Their team of skilled Japanese carpenters bring generations of experience and craftsmanship to ensure that each home they build is not only beautiful, but also built to last for generations.

Natural Materials for a Healthy Home

The allure of solid wood homes is unmatched from the moment you step inside and breathe in the aroma of the timber. Their natural beauty seamlessly complements the environment, and they offer durability that stands the test of time. As a natural material, it is free from any synthetic or chemical additives, providing a healthy living space for your family. The foundation timber we use is hiba wood that is over 1,000 years old. We never use any plywood or laminated timber, which is bonded together using glue and synthetic resins like polyurethane and phenolformaldehyde.

The Warmth of Solid Wood

Solid wood has a sense of warmth. This isn’t just about appearance, but also about the way it feels to the touch. Because solid wood contains a lot of air inside it has insulating effects, allowing you to feel warm even in winter. You may have

experienced the sensation of walking on cold plywood flooring – the glued layers of wood in plywood don’t have gaps, making them feel deeply cold as they adjust to the surrounding temperature.

Natural Humidity Control

One of the features of solid wood is its ability to regulate humidity. In nature, trees need to adapt to their environment. On humid days they absorb moisture, and on dry days they release it. Solid wood in homes acts the same way, helping maintain a natural balance. This makes it warmer in winter, more comfortable in summer, and also improves the air quality inside your home.

Experience Building in Hokkaido

When building a home in Hokkaido, it’s crucial to choose a construction company familiar with the region’s unique climatic conditions. Tsuchiya Kensetsu excels in designing and implementing foundations

Boutique Company, Personalised Service

WHERE THE SHINKANSEN AND HIGHWAY ROUTES PASS THROUGH NISEKO

A 4-hour bullet train trip from Tokyo to Niseko and a highway passing through the region are getting closer. Japan Railways is in the process of connecting its shinkansen (bullet train) network from Tokyo to Sapporo via Kutchan, which is just 10 minutes drive from Niseko’s main resort hub Hirafu.

Current scheduling sees the completion date between 2031 and 2035.

M eanwhile NEXCO (Nippon Expressway Company) is building a highway network that will connect Kutchan with Otaru and Sapporo. Planning is underway for a Kutchan to Niseko Town leg, with possible extension beyond that through Rankoshi to ultimately connect with Hakodate on the southern tip of Hokkaido.

T he map shows where the shinkansen and highway routes pass through Kutchan and Niseko. The only shinkansen stop will be in Kutchan Town. Meanwhile the highway is confirmed to have one exit just to the west of the station, with planning underway for another near Hirafu where Route 5 and Route 343 meet; and another near Niseko Town.

The new highway loosely tracks the current Route 5 from Sapporo through Otaru and Yoichi, entering Kutchan through the forest and farmland between the train station and Hanazono. Current plans then show it passing west of the town centre across farmland between Route 5 and the Shiribetsu River before the Hirafu interchange. It then follows a fairly straight line to Niseko Town, in parallel but slighty west of the current Route 5.

The shinkansen meanwhile tracks straight from Kutchan Station through the farmland behind Max Value, before entering a tunnel between Takasago and the river. From there it runs to the west of Route 5 to about Arishima, where it crosses under Route 5. It then goes under View Plaza, and continues south west away from Route 5 (which veers north-west towards Konbu and Rankoshi) and under mountains towards Kuromatsunai and then towards the coast to the south near Oshamambe.

從東京搭乘新幹線列車前往北海道二世古的交通 即將有突破性改善，預計車程將縮短至四小時，加 上一條新建高速公路也將橫貫該地區。日本鐵道正 積極推動東京至札幌的新幹線路線延伸工程，列車 將停靠倶知安站，距離二世古的度假勝地比羅夫僅 十分鐘車程。根據現行規劃時程表，這項重大工程 預計將於2031年至2035年間完工。

同時，日本高速公路公司NEXCO也正在建設連接 倶知安、小樽和札幌的高速公路網。目前正規劃從 倶知安延伸至二世古町的路段，未來更可能經由蘭

越町延伸至北海道南端的函館市。

上圖顯示了新幹線和高速公路將如何穿越倶知安 與二世古地區。新幹線將只在倶知安町設置一個停 靠站。至於高速公路，目前已確定在車站西側設置 一個出口，另外在比羅夫的國道5號線和343號線 交會處也正規劃增設出口；二世古町附近也將設置 另一個出口。

這條新高速公路大致沿著目前的國道5號線，從札 幌經過小樽和余市，穿越倶知安車站與花園之間

的森林和農田地帶。現行規劃顯示，該路段將繞過 市中心的農田地區，從國道5號線和尻別川之間穿 過，最終抵達比羅夫交流道。

新幹線的路線則從倶知安站直接穿越Max Value 超市後方的農田，隨後進入橫跨高砂地區和河流 之間的隧道。列車將在國道5號線西側運行，直達 有島附近，屆時將穿越國道5號線下方。列車隨後 穿過View Plaza，繼續向西南方前進，偏離國道5 號線。列車將穿越山脈，經過黑松內，最終抵達南 邊靠近長萬部的海岸地區。

NISEKO GRAND HIRAFU

Hirafu is the beating heart of Niseko – a bustling, old-meets-new, East-meets-West resort village unlike anywhere else in the world. This is where Niseko’s first lift was built, and the village has grown around this base over the past 60 years to what you see today. It’s the unofficial hub of the resort and home to the most dining and nightlife, and the widest variety of accommodation.

Niseko Grand Hirafu has a 10-passenger gondola and an 8-passenger gondola that feed intermediate and advanced skiers two-thirds of the way up the mountain. From here, traverse to other lifts and up towards the peak, or head straight down with access to dozens of long, groomed trails and plenty of ungroomed tree runs back to base. Beginners are well catered for with gently sloping family runs at either side of the resort.

Hanazono is situated on the northeast side of Mt. Niseko Annupuri and enjoys an extended season of powder snow. Hana #1, Japan’s most luxurious 6-seater hooded chairlift with heated seats, offers unmatched comfort. The 10-person gondola, crafted by Italy’s Pininfarina, features expansive 360° windows for breathtaking views and provides the perfect opportunity to experience the magic of night skiing.

Immerse yourself in the splendor of Niseko’s largest Christmas tree light-up and the seasonal gondola illuminations. The highlight of the winter night sky is the breathtaking display of fireworks. An enchanting and uniquely beautiful night awaits you here. Indulge in a world-class resort experience with a diverse range of off-piste activities, luxurious stays at our resort hotel, and convenient ski-in/ski-out dining and shopping options.
