First opened by Nisade in December 2012, Glasshouse is an elegantly appointed five- bedroom designer home, superbly positioned in the highly sought-after Niseko-Hirafu village location, which offers sweeping, uninterrupted views of the beautiful Mt Yotei.

Architecturally designed to a superb standard, and spread over more than 270m2, Glasshouse has a huge upstairs open-plan living space warmed by the ‘floating’ fireplace, and can sleep up to 12, with five bedrooms, including a kids’ bunk room, and four bathrooms.

Glasshouse’s seamlessly integrated technology includes a large plasma LCD television supplied with international cable, and an additional TV and DVD player in the kids room. There’s also surround sound audio with a connection for your iPod, and complimentary wi-fi throughout. Even the toilets have heated seats.

You can also relax inside a traditional wooden bath tub, or slip on the traditional Japanese robe provided and head out for a soak in the Glasshouse’s outdoor Jacuzzi.

Along with a maid service every other day, a private concierge service provides a drop- off and collection service at the main Family Ace chairlift, so you can effortlessly enjoy the world’s deepest, fluffiest powder snow.
