North American family travelers looking to take their ski trip international this year should put Niseko, Japan, at the top of the list. Located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, families can enjoy world-class skiing and cozy stays in luxury accommodations, all while embracing traditional Japanese culture and cuisine.
As peak ski season quickly approaches in December and January, allow The Luxe Nomad to take away the stressful planning of a family trip. Named Asia Pacific’s largest luxury vacation rental management company, The Luxe Nomad spans more than 1,400 rooms (villas and chalets) across the region, including top-notch services at the touch of guests’ fingertips like chauffeured transportation, concierge support and winter butlers (at select properties).
Find which property suits your family best:
Starting at a five-night stay minimum, this five-bedroom chalet is perfect for multigen travel. The space accommodates up to 12 guests, offering uninterrupted views of Mount Yotei, a private indoor-outdoor natural onsen, gym, chef’s kitchen, butler service and two chauffeured vehicles.
Just steps from the gondola, this ultra-luxury chalet includes four bedrooms, a private natural onsen, sauna, cold plunge, rooftop sky terraces, ski room and butler service. The chalet’s panoramic mountain views mean guests will never want to leave their cozy confines and embrace outside’s cold.
