Contact exclusive agent
A forested ridge. A private compound feel. Only two.
Set on a final undeveloped ridge of Japan’s most sought-after ski destination.
Why now — the pattern
Aman is anchoring Moiwa’s ultra-luxury cycle
In Niseko, it’s predictable: global brands commit → infrastructure follows → values accelerate. Hilton. Park Hyatt. Aman next.
If you know, you move early.
Before the big brands land, early private owners set the benchmark. This is Moiwa’s moment—and now yours.

Neighbours & network
Share the neighborhood with tech’s quiet titans—just down the road.
A discreet winter circle: low-profile, serious, no-press.
If you’re here, you’re already in the room.
The opportunity — only two
Unlike anything else in Niseko
Architectural scale, forest privacy, lasting significance—where most inventory is engineered for yield, these are engineered for legacy. In a market of subdivisions and compact builds, Niseko Mori Lodge offers architectural scale, forest privacy, and lasting significance.

Discover Vision
Experience
Designed for solitude, celebration, and snowfall

Dual fireplaces, 18-seat dining, party room to terrace with outdoor fire.

Location — between Moiwa & Annupuri
Secluded sanctuary. Seamless access.
Seamless Route 66 access: 3 min to Moiwa, 6 min to Niseko Village, 12 min to Hirafu. Night skiing in view, while Michelin-level dining awaits minutes away.
Access
Seamless connections to New Chitose Airport through JAL/ANA codeshares, complemented by seasonal routes from Southeast Asia. Reach Niseko Mori Chalets in roughly two hours from the airport, with future developments promising even swifter access. A new highway could trim 20% from the journey, while the Shinkansen links Tokyo to Kutchan in 4 hours and Sapporo to Kutchan in half an hour.
Design & craft
Modern alpine, informed by Japanese temple geometry
Where Swiss forms meet Japanese materiality.
Dramatic pitched roofs · honest timber & stone · custom metalwork · high-performance envelope · heated floors · bespoke cabinetry.
