Miru Residences Hakuba

Miru Residences Hakuba is a new apartment development located adjacent to the Happo-one ski lift in Hakuba, Nagano. Positioned for both slope access and village convenience, the project combines a rare ski-in, ski-out location with contemporary Japanese design, mountain views, and the operational credibility of the Miru Collection hospitality brand.

Miru Residences Hakuba brings together vital qualities that are increasingly difficult to find in a single project: genuine ski-in, ski-out access, a central village setting, and a design concept rooted in the landscape of Hakuba itself.

Located beside the Happo-one lift area and near the Hakuba Olympic ski jump, the development is positioned for both owner enjoyment and guest convenience. Residents can access the slopes directly from the hotel, while Hakuba Village’s restaurants, cafés and services are close at hand.

For buyers looking at Hakuba’s next wave of resort property, Miru Residences Hakuba stands out for its location, architectural identity, and hospitality-led approach.

• Ski-in, ski-out access beside the Happo-one lift
• Central Hakuba location near restaurants, shops and village amenities
• Fully furnished residences with large picture windows
• Managed by Miru Collection, operator of boutique hotels and lodges
• Strong lifestyle and rental appeal in one of Japan’s leading alpine markets
• Only 3 hours from Tokyo by train and bus

Miru Residences Hakuba sits directly beside the Happo-one lift area. That means true slope-side convenience for owners and guests, while still being moments from Hakuba’s restaurants, cafés and village amenities. Happo-one is one of Hakuba Valley’s most established and best-known ski areas, offering a 1,070m vertical drop, 11m annual snowfall, and 1998 Olympic terrain best suited for intermediate-to-advanced skiers. It features excellent, steep grooming and long, wide runs. The resort is known for spectacular Japanese Alps views, lively base villages, and some of the best powder snow in Japan. 

It’s also frequently described as the valley’s largest and most central resort, which is a big part of why slope-side real estate here is so tightly held—and why improvements to base-area access matter. With the new gondola planned for 2027, the Happo-one base is set to become even more efficient for daily mountain access. 

Ski-in, ski-out homes in the Hakuba Valley are exceptionally limited, particularly in central, walkable locations like this.

Design inspired by Hakuba
The architecture is shaped by Hakuba’s ridgelines and forest textures, with a contemporary Japanese aesthetic that feels grounded in place. Large picture windows are a defining feature, framing the landscape across the seasons.

Fully furnished, guest-ready interiors

• Fully furnished, fully appointed residences
• Large picture windows with mountain and forest outlooks
• Premium appliances, heating and air-conditioning
• Practical layouts suited to both owner use and guest stays

Shared spaces designed for mountain living
The building includes a welcoming lobby and lounge, reception, a dedicated ski room, and a grab-and-go refreshment area—supporting a more serviced alpine residence experience.

With prices starting from around 80m JPY, Miru Residences Hakuba offers a compelling entry point for a slope-side address in central Hakuba. A varied unit mix creates attractive options for a wide range of buyers—from young couples looking for an easy, lock-up-and-leave base, through to families wanting more space and flexibility—while the location and fully managed model are designed to support strong guest demand throughout the year.

Unit types (from):

• Studios: 34 sqm
• 1-bedroom: 58 sqm
• 2-bedroom: 69 sqm
• 3-bedroom: 94 sqm

Designed with rental flexibility in mind

The 2- and 3-bedroom residences are dual key, allowing the space to be configured for different group sizes. This added versatility should increase year-round occupancy by widening the range of stays the residences can accommodate, depending on demand at different times of the year.

What supports rental appeal

• Happo-one base-area location with true ski-in, ski-out access
• Central Hakuba convenience for dining, services and après
• Fully furnished, guest-ready specification
• Fully managed operations for hands-off ownership
• A unit mix suited to couples, friends and family groups year-round

Hakuba is one of Japan’s most recognised alpine destinations, known for reliable winter snow, dramatic scenery and a growing year-round tourism profile. In the green season, it becomes a highland base for hiking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, widening its appeal beyond the ski months.

With easy access from Tokyo (around 3 hours by train and bus) and limited supply of prime, lift-adjacent property, interest from both lifestyle buyers and investors has accelerated in recent years—particularly for well-located, professionally managed residences.

Miru Residences Hakuba is backed by a team with development, asset management and hospitality experience in Japan and internationally. The project involves The SHC Group and Ecclesia Asset Management, alongside Miru Collection as the operating brand—bringing a hospitality-led approach to owner and guest experience. SHC Group are behind the highly regarded Miru Kyoto and Miru Niseko and Ecclesia Asset Management brought projects like the Wander Tokyo (now the Four Points Flex Shibuya) and the Far East Village Honmachi and Namba. 

Miru Collection operates boutique hospitality properties in destinations including Niseko, Kyoto and Amami, with additional expansion underway. This operational background is a key part of the project’s fully managed positioning.
