YU Kiroro Luxury Ski-in / Ski-out Residences in the Heart of Hokkaido’s Powder Snow A year-round luxury retreat surrounded by nature
YU Kiroro, a luxury alpine residence valued at over THB 4 billion, is located within Kiroro Resort in Hokkaido, Japan, and developed by Property Perfect Public Company Limited. The project was completed in December 2019 and began residence operations with full residences services in 2020. Today, all units have been fully sold to private owners.
YU Kiroro stands out with its Ski-in / Ski-out Residences concept, allowing guests to step directly from the property onto the ski slopes. The residence seamlessly blends comfort with the alpine lifestyle, appealing to both travelers and investors across Asia who seek a premium winter escape while also enjoying the region’s vibrant summer outdoor experiences.
Hokkaido is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest ski destinations, renowned for its legendary powder snow—exceptionally light and soft snow that attracts skiers from around the globe. Visitors from Asia, particularly from Singapore, Hong Kong, and Thailand, frequently travel to Japan for skiing thanks to its accessibility and more convenient travel time compared to European ski resorts.
YU Kiroro is located approximately 90 minutes from New Chitose Airport, and provides convenient access to major destinations across Hokkaido—about 45 minutes from Niseko, 60 minutes from Sapporo, and just 30 minutes from the charming canal city of Otaru.
Set on approximately 6,440 sqm. of land, the residence features 108 spacious units, ranging from one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom suites to exclusive penthouses, with living spaces from 62 to 267 square meters. Each residence is thoughtfully designed with generous living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and dining spaces, making it ideal for families, groups of friends, or multi-generational stays. Guests can cook in-suite, gather for après-ski moments, or enjoy a cozy meal together such as the signature YU Pack sukiyaki set served at the dining table within the suite.
Hokkaido Alpine Design Inspired by Nature
The design of YU Kiroro draws inspiration from the concept of “Hokkaido Alpine”, reflecting the natural beauty that greets visitors upon arrival in Kiroro—lush forests, mountains, natural stone, and wildlife. These impressions are thoughtfully combined with Japanese craftsmanship and the locality of Hokkaido, creating a distinctive architectural identity that is warm, elegant, and harmonious with the surrounding environment.
The building itself follows the guiding philosophy “All of Kiroro is Yours”, ensuring that every part of the residence embraces the surrounding natural landscape. Large windows throughout the property offer panoramic 360-degree views of the mountains and forests from both public areas and guest residences. Natural wood interiors and warm tones create a welcoming atmosphere—especially comforting for guests returning from a day on the slopes, evoking the feeling of coming home to a private alpine retreat.
The exterior architecture reflects classic Alpine design, carefully integrated with the mountain landscape while also engineered to withstand Kiroro’s heavy winter snowfall. The building base features masonry stone retaining walls to support deep snow accumulation, while the façade blends stone, metal, and wood-grain concrete cladding, creating a durable exterior that remains timeless and resilient against the elements.
Lobby Inspired by Kiroro’s Natural Landscape
The lobby space reflects the surrounding valley landscape of Kiroro, which is embraced by mountains. Expansive glass walls frame the scenery, while sculpted clay walls inside the lobby feature flowing textures inspired by snow and wind patterns.
These walls are crafted using the traditional Japanese plastering technique “Sakan”, an ancient craftsmanship method that uses natural materials such as earth and plant fibers. Lighting installations—specially designed to resemble abstract cloud forms—add a modern artistic touch to the space.
Interior elements also celebrate Hokkaido’s natural environment:
wooden trunks form reception counters, carpets and stools reflect wildlife motifs, and stacked firewood is reimagined as sculptural coffee tables. Each piece of handcrafted furniture contributes to a warm and lively atmosphere.
Premium Facilities for a Complete Alpine Experience
YU Kiroro offers a full range of premium facilities designed for relaxation and comfort, including indoor and outdoor onsen, as well as private onsen rooms for guests seeking greater privacy. Additional amenities include a fitness center, a professional Ski Valet service for storing and preparing ski equipment, and the cozy YUKI Lounge, an ideal place to unwind after a day on the slopes.
Guests can also enjoy dining at Yukashi Alpine Bistro, an all-day dining restaurant featuring dishes crafted from locally sourced Hokkaido ingredients. With creative culinary techniques and seasonal inspirations, the restaurant offers a warm and memorable alpine dining experience.
Exclusive Penthouse with Private Onsen
For the ultimate luxury retreat, YU Kiroro presents its four-bedroom penthouse with private onsen, offering one of the most exclusive alpine living experiences in Hokkaido. The penthouse is crafted using rich natural materials such as wood, marble, cowhide, and handcrafted stucco, complemented by custom wooden furniture that preserves the beauty of natural textures while ensuring modern comfort.
The expansive kitchen, dining, and living areas are surrounded by breathtaking panoramic mountain views and feature a rustic alpine fireplace that enhances the cozy atmosphere. On the balcony, a private onsen allows guests to soak in warm mineral waters while overlooking snow-covered mountains.
The master bedroom showcases refined craftsmanship, with a striking headboard artwork created on Japanese paper adorned with gold and silver leaf, symbolizing the beauty of Hokkaido’s powder snow—nature’s gift to the region.
With its unique blend of world-class powder snow, pristine natural surroundings, and refined luxury hospitality, YU Kiroro stands as one of Hokkaido’s most distinctive destinations—offering unforgettable experiences from the magical snow season of winter to the refreshing alpine beauty of summer.
