Located in the peaceful Yamada area, Annapurna Lodge occupies a convenient position along the back road connecting Hirafu and Kutchan. The property enjoys impressive, unobstructed views of Mt Yotei, while remaining less than a six-minute drive (approximately 3.1 km) from Hirafu. Kutchan Station, supermarkets, and other everyday amenities are also within easy driving distance.
Created in collaboration with a team of Japanese architects, Annapurna is a distinctive contemporary residence designed specifically for its Hokkaido setting.

Location
One of Annapurna’s key advantages is its balance between accessibility and privacy. Hirafu, with its internationally renowned ski slopes, restaurants, cafés, and resort facilities, is approximately 3.1 km away.
In the opposite direction, Kutchan provides convenient access to the train station, supermarkets, shops, and essential everyday services, generally within a 6–8 minute drive.
Despite being positioned between these two major hubs, Annapurna occupies a quiet and peaceful setting with open surroundings, excellent privacy, and uninterrupted mountain scenery.
Architecture & Interior
Annapurna combines contemporary architectural design with the warmth and character of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. A carefully considered palette of timber, steel, and concrete creates a clean, minimalist aesthetic without compromising the welcoming atmosphere expected from a mountain retreat.
The open-plan main living level forms the heart of the residence, providing a generous space for entertaining, dining, or simply unwinding after a day in the mountains. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing allows abundant natural light into the interior while framing the spectacular panorama of Mt Yotei.
Designed with families in mind, the residence provides two well-separated bedroom areas. The master bedroom is located upstairs, while the family bedroom occupies the ground floor. Each level benefits from its own living space, providing both privacy and flexibility for families and guests.
On the lower level, a generously sized wooden-edged bath offers a relaxing Japanese-inspired bathing experience. The master level includes a private shower room with a double vanity. Tatami areas, shoji detailing, and custom Hokkaido woodwork introduce traditional Japanese character while complementing the property’s contemporary architecture.
Summary
Annapurna Lodge is a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom mountain residence that brings together modern architecture, premium amenities, and refined Japanese design elements.
With its exceptional Mt Yotei views, convenient access to both Hirafu and Kutchan, intelligent winter-focused architecture, and beautifully crafted interiors, the property provides a sophisticated yet comfortable base from which to enjoy Niseko throughout the seasons.
Whether used as a private alpine retreat or a premium holiday residence, Annapurna offers an appealing combination of design, comfort, privacy, and location in one of Hokkaido’s most internationally recognised resort destinations.
