MUWA NISEKO #501: A Ski-in, Ski-out Alpine Sanctuary with Protected Views
Perfectly positioned on the 5th floor of the award-winning MUWA NISEKO, Unit #501 offers a front-row seat to the changing seasons of Niseko. Spanning 90.49 square meters, this modern 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence is designed to maximize volume and luminosity, drawing the stunning alpine scenery deep into the living space. The layout features a sleek linear kitchen that opens to a dedicated dining area and a large, cozy living lounge anchored by wall-to-wall glazing. A defining architectural feature is the glass partition separating the master bedroom from the living area; when open, it allows natural light to flood the unit from multiple angles, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. For moments of rest, a retractable shade instantly transforms the master suite into a secluded, private sanctuary.
Both the living area and the primary bedroom open onto the unit's private 7.9 sqm balcony. Perched directly above the ski area, this is the ultimate vantage point to check snow conditions with your morning coffee or toast the evening skiers. The interior is defined by a sumptuous and moody palette, offering turnkey comfort. The master bathroom serves as a private spa, featuring a large signature soaking tub where you can open the sliding doors and look up to the changing weather over Mt. Annupuri. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with high-spec Miele appliances and a dedicated coffee station. The residence is fully appointed for immediate living with a sound bar system, dual washer/dryer, and secure owner storage concealed in the genkan for winter gear and skis.
MUWA NISEKO commands the premier position at the very top of Hirafu’s Upper Village, offering prime ski-in, ski-out access to the Grand Hirafu slopes via the building's private ski valet. Ownership here steps into a world of seamless alpine luxury, distinguished by a Michelin Key and voted "World’s Best New Ski Hotel 2024". The property is home to Michelin-pedigreed dining at HITO by TACUBO and the legendary Sukiyaki HIYAMA.

Yotei. Professional property management, concierge support, and comprehensive ski valet service ensure every day in Niseko is hassle-free.
The property is located in the Upper Hirafu area of Niseko, a world-renowned winter sports destination on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido. Interestingly, the area receives some of the heaviest and highest quality powder snow on Earth, often referred to as "Japow" by enthusiasts. The closest major landmark is the iconic and perfectly symmetrical volcanic peak, Mount Yotei, often called the "Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido," which provides a breathtaking backdrop visible from many points in the region.
