Yuki Ki Lodge

Yukiki Lodge – A Private Exclusive Forested Retreat in Happo

Tucked away in a peaceful forest setting behind the Happo Olympic Ski Jump Stadium, Yukiki Lodge is a beautifully crafted cedar post-and-beam chalet offering privacy, comfort, and authentic alpine charm. If you’re looking to escape the crowds while still being close to everything, this is your perfect Hakuba base.

Conveniently positioned just a 20-minute walk to Happo Village and approximately 15 minutes on foot to the nearest lift on the Nakiyama slope at Happo, the lodge strikes the ideal balance between accessibility and seclusion. Large double-glazed windows frame stunning forest views, bringing the beauty of the Japan Alps indoors. Whether you're relaxing by the fireplace after a ski day or watching fresh snow falling through the trees, every moment here feels calm, warm, and restorative. In addition to the wood-burning stove, the lodge is centrally heated throughout, with wall-mounted heating in every room to ensure consistent comfort during the winter months.

The two-storey, three-bedroom layout offers generous living spaces ideal for families or groups. The master bedroom is beautifully appointed with its own ensuite, featuring a spacious tiled bathroom, mirrored floor-to-ceiling cupboard space, and a dedicated shower area, creating a private and luxurious retreat within the home.

In total, the lodge offers three bathrooms, thoughtfully configured for both comfort and practicality. One bathroom includes a full-sized bath, separate shower, toilet and vanity, while the other two bathrooms each feature a shower, toilet and vanity. A built-in washing machine and dryer add further convenience, making longer stays easy and stress-free.

A fully equipped Western kitchen and spacious dining area make entertaining simple, while the inviting lounge creates the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day.

An expansive wrap-around deck extends across the front of the home and can be easily accessed from the lounge, master bedroom, and kitchen areas. From the deck, stairs lead down to the front yard and garden, creating a wonderful space for children to play while still being easily supervised from inside the house. A garden rope swing adds to the fun and can even be launched directly from the front deck, making it a favorite feature for families. During peak winter, heavy snowfall often blankets the deck completely, adding to the true alpine experience. Ample firewood is thoughtfully stored both on the deck and at the rear of the covered two-car port, allowing guests to easily keep the wood-burning stove stocked and the lodge warm and inviting throughout their stay.

Designed with winter living in mind, Yukiki Lodge also includes a dedicated ski storage and drying area, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, and the convenience of a covered two-car port. Guests enjoy personalized concierge service with regular linen changes, daily rubbish removal, and complimentary arrival and departure transfers, ensuring a seamless and relaxed stay from start to finish.

While guests can comfortably walk to Happo Village for shopping, restaurants and rental stores and lift access, as with most private chalets in Hakuba, having access to a rental car could be a good option. A rental vehicle could be a good idea as would allow you to easily explore all ten of the Hakuba Valley mountain resorts and fully experience everything the region has to offer.
