Kitadori is a modern escape into nature amidst the snow-laden landscape of Niseko, Hokkaido. It is part of the Escarpment Estate and has been designed to incorporate a closed indoor living style surrounded by surreal panoramas.
With views across the misty peak of Mt. Yotei, Kitadori is a lesson in quintessential minimalistic living with contemporary indoor spaces including five bedrooms, lounge and media room. Centrally heated to combat the icy temperatures in the northernmost island of Japan, Kitadori will prove to be a restful and relaxed holiday amidst serene surroundings.
Guests have the luxury of five bedrooms in total at Kitadori of which two are furnished with king-sized beds while two accommodate twin bunk-beds with double-size mattresses. The master bedrooms have glass walls with spellbinding views; comfortable bedding and cosy blankets are found in each bedroom. The fifth bedroom has a single bed and bath. The house can easily accommodate 10 adults and four children accompanied by a nanny.
The bathrooms are as exquisite as the bedrooms since some are designed with stunning, charcoal grey spa bathtubs for two and walk-in showers. Modern amenities accompany all the bedrooms.
The unsuspecting façade of Kitadori is perfect for guests who wish to unplug and escape the monotony of everyday life. As the weather in Niseko varies from moderately warm to extreme cold, the outdoors may as well be piled with powdery, white snow or flush with the spring bloom. Guests can relish the breathtaking views of Mt. Yotei, said to be a replica of the great Fujisan or Mt. Fuji. For as far as the eyes can see, you will witness lush forests or the autumnal forest land sporting warm fall colours.
Kitadori has been designed with ample common areas that can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. The lounge features an entire glass wall overlooking the mesmerising Niseko scenery. It is furnished with a massive sofa and lounge chairs, cove lighting for a warm ambiance and a spectacular fireplace.
The same space is shared by a modern kitchen complete with a breakfast bar with wooden stools and a dining area featuring a dark-wood dining table. The state of the art kitchen is ready for use with a coffee machine, in-built oven, cooktop and other useful amenities. The wooden cabinets and granite countertop add to the contemporary and calming ambiance of this area for a relaxing time.
Adjacent to the kids’ room there is a contemporary media room furnished with a sectional sofa and an Apple TV with English view-on-demand TV equipped with free wifi. The natural wood bookcase and the grey stone walls exude a quintessential Japanese vibe allowing you to experience Japan’s cutting edge, contemporary architecture and design.
The self-contained Kitadori House is perfect for a family getaway where you have the entire villa to yourself to do as you please. From the modern kitchen to the garage and ski storage, everything is accessible to guests. A lot of the services offered by the management are available upon request such as car rentals, ski passes, breakfast packs and airport transfers.
