Niseko is one of Asia’s best-known ski destinations, famous for its powder snow and its views of Mount Yotei. Snowville CK Village is a new-build community of 29 homes set among snowfields and forest. A short drive from Niseko’s resorts, it is an affordable luxury vacation home.

Each home is a 2-storey, three-bedroom, two-bathroom house, with a kitchen and living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light and frame the views of the surrounding landscape, and the finishes are sleek but cosy. It’s designed for families and groups who want a comfortable base in Hokkaido’s snow country.
