In our latest short video, we take you on a whirlwind tour of three spectacular properties in Niseko and Hirafu that show just how far (or high) your budget can stretch.

 

## Aki Onsen Villa – Six-Star Luxury Living

First up is the incredible [Aki Onsen Villa](https://uchijapan.com/properties/aki-niseko-onsen-villa-a) in Niseko. This is less a private home and more your own boutique hotel at the foot of the mountains. Think: private chefs, personal butlers, a chauffeur on call, and your very own onsen to soak in after a powder day.

**Price:** ¥1.625 billion

## Yamakei Residences – Penthouse with a View

Next, we step into [Yamakei Residences](https://uchijapan.com/properties/yamakei-yotei-penthouse-private-onsen) – a 355m² penthouse tucked away in lower Hirafu. With sweeping floor-to-ceiling views of Mount Yotei, an indoor-outdoor onsen and sauna, a private elevator, media room, oversized dining table, and generous terraces, this is luxury mountain living at its finest.

**Price:** ¥1.2 billion

## Raiko Place – Discreet Forest Retreat

Finally, for those who prefer their luxury low-key, there’s [Raiko Place](https://uchijapan.com/properties/raiko-place), a world-class five-bedroom home hidden among Hirafu’s forests. A suspended fireplace, Japanese hinoki bath, home gym, media room, and uninterrupted mountain views make this more than a home – it’s a retreat.

**Price:** ¥999 million

## Which Would You Choose?

From six-star service to penthouse panoramas and discreet alpine hideaways, these properties highlight the incredible range of options at the ¥1 billion mark.
