Gouka Chalet is a remarkable four-bedroom chalet at the centre of Hirafu Village, Niseko. It is an excellent accommodation choice for families or groups of friends, offering two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and two guestrooms with a shared bathroom, all with lovely views. A charming lounge, cosy fireplace, modern entertainment facilities, well-equipped kitchen and a large dining table make the perfect base at the end of an active day. During winter months, nearby Mount Yotei and Annupuri offer ski slopes for all levels of ability. Thermal spas (onsens) are also within walking distance of the chalet. As per local government of Kutchan, failure to separate garbage correctly is subject to a JPY 5,000 penalty fee per day. Please be advised that we allow children in the chalet, but will be counted as one adult.

Gouka Chalet is located in Hirafu’s middle village, a short walk from some its best eateries, including Rin Japanese Restaurant and Niseko’s Yummy Pizza – excellent choices when all that outside activity has you reaching for some necessary carbs. Don’t let heavy snowfall deter you from having a good time. Many of Hirafu’s pavements are heated which means you’ll be able to reach your destination ‘slip and slide’-free. There’s an excellent range of evening entertainment venues in the village, from the quirky Bar Gyu with its exceptional range of rare Japanese whiskies, to live music and late-night DJ sets at Wild Bill’s. After a long day in the great outdoors, there’s no better way to relax than by visiting one of the many thermal spas or ‘onsen’. Gouka Chalet is close to Hotel Hirafutei Onsen and Hotel Alpen Onsen – both renowned for their beautiful facilities and excellent rejuvenation treatments.
