As far as enchanting, snow-dusted landscapes go, it doesn’t get much better than Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido – and a luxe ski-in, ski-out apartment is sure to fulfil your winter dreams. Modern interiors feature stunning timber touches, radiating warmth, perfect for a cosy family escape in a dreamy snow-capped wonderland.
Hokkaido has slopes to suit all, from hardcore powder enthusiasts to first-timers. Step out of the hotel and straight onto the slopes thanks to your two-day lift pass (and discounted rates for additional passes), hopping on the Gateway Express Gondola located less than 100 metres from the slope-side entrance to Yu Kiroro.
Recharge in your spacious apartment, where traditional alpine decor meets contemporary elegance, or try out the onsite facilities, including both indoor and outdoor onsens with a stone sauna to soothe your muscles, a dedicated lounge area where kids and families can unwind and Yukashi restaurant, home to inventive dishes featuring locally-sourced ingredients.
