Niseko Highland Cottages

Niseko Highland Cottages is a cluster of five houses built in December 2018 on the outskirts of the Annupuri ski area in Niseko, Hokkaido. Four of the cottages (A, B, C and D) measure 90 square meters with three bedrooms each, while the fifth (Cottage E) is 83 square meters with two bedrooms. In the larger units, the third bedroom comes fitted with two sofa beds, giving an extra living space option for bigger groups or families.

Each cottage sits in a secluded spot with uninterrupted 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains, including a clear line to Mt Yotei. The setting is quiet, but it is not remote for the sake of it: a short drive brings guests to some of Niseko's well-regarded restaurants and to the lifts at both Annupuri and Niseko Village, making this a workable base for ski trips without giving up a sense of distance from the crowds.

Beyond winter, the area opens up to hiking, fishing, bicycling, rafting and onsen bathing, so the cottages function as a year-round retreat rather than a single-season rental. The property is reachable by phone at 0136-55-8796 or through its website, nhcottages.net, and the office keeps consistent hours from 9am to 5pm daily. The address is 186-14 Niseko, in the Niseko district of Hokkaido, placing it within the broader Niseko resort area but set apart from its busiest stretches.
