Where you stay
You will stay at The Miru Niseko in beautiful Lodge 10, with twin-share rooms for all guests. The tatami room will become our morning yoga and movement space, while the open-plan lounge and dining area gives us plenty of room to relax together after skiing.
Located a short drive from the slopes and the famous onsens of the Annupuri area, the lodge offers a peaceful base to enjoy both the skiing and slower side of Niseko life.
Breakfast: The chalet kitchen is stocked with fresh bread, and Hokkaido sourced bacon, eggs, fruit, Yogurt — and I’ll add extras based on your preferences.
Lunch: We’ll stop at my favourite mountain cafés each day — so bring a little pocket money and a big appetite!
Dinner: All dinners are included and thoughtfully planned: Omakase courses, izakaya nights, and private-chef evenings shared in our cozy chalet.

Good to know
Small group sizes allow plenty of individual feedback, and groups will be matched to ensure everyone is skiing with others of a similar ability level.
Applications are open, and I’ll work with each applicant to make sure the group is a good fit.
Niseko’s onsens are world-class, especially in the Annupuri area just 10 minutes from our chalet. I’ll guide you through Japanese onsen etiquette and introduce you to my favourite local hot springs.
If you need ski rental, I can help you source equipment that suits your ability level and the conditions for the week. 2027 rental prices have not yet been released by the stores.
Booking conditions:
Minimum participant numbers apply; the operator may adjust the program, offer an alternative or cancel if these are not met.
