Powder Loft Garden Residence 2 — Exclusive One-Bedroom Retreat in Upper Hirafu

Introducing the brand-new Garden Residence at Powder Loft, a beautifully appointed one-bedroom home offering contemporary alpine living in the heart of Upper Hirafu. As one of only eight exclusive residences within the building, Powder Loft provides an exceptional sense of privacy and boutique luxury, with each residence benefiting from dedicated private lift access for secure, direct entry.

Designed by acclaimed architect Makoto Nakayama of Sapporo-based Nakayama Architects, the building reflects a refined Japanese minimalist aesthetic, combining timeless architecture with exceptional craftsmanship. The practice is internationally recognised for award-winning projects including Zaborin and Higo, and received global acclaim at the World Architecture Festival for its architectural excellence.

Positioned in an elevated setting above the village, this garden residence offers a peaceful alpine retreat with seamless indoor-outdoor living. A private terrace creates the perfect space to unwind after a day on the mountain, while Upper Hirafu's renowned restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and ski lifts are all within easy walking distance.

Scheduled for completion in July 2026 and ready for the 2026/27 winter season, this fully furnished residence presents an outstanding opportunity for a private holiday home or premium investment in one of Niseko's most desirable locations.
