Luxury Villas in Japan – Ski Chalets, Onsen Retreats & Alpine Escapes

See Japan at its purest - where nature, stillness, and beauty meet. It is a treat to witness the country’s untouched raw hideaways. 5 Star Villa Holidays features luxury villas in Japan at exquisite locations – Niseku & Hirafu. You wake up in Hirafu, and snow’s already falling. Everything’s quiet. The 5-bedroom Hirafu Chalet has heated floors, long windows, and that kind of stillness that gets under your skin. You step into the onsen tub, water steaming against the frost outside, and suddenly you're not thinking about anything.

In the summer, you might be further south, maybe Yamabiko Hillside. Crickets in the trees. Mountain air. You eat dinner on the deck. Our luxury villa rentals in Japan make you feel like everything in the world is enough.

Then there’s Mount Yotei View Lodge. Four bedrooms, full glass façade, forest all around. You don’t need much here. Maybe a fire. Maybe some jazz. Maybe just silence.

These places aren’t trying to be “luxury.” They are just 5 star vacation rentals in Japan. Because the walls breathe. The wood smells like a mountain. The rooms don’t fight the landscape - they let it in.

Vacation Rentals in Japan Elevated with World-Class Service

Ski Days, Your Way:

From the moment you arrive, your villa feels like a true alpine base - ski-in, ski-out ease, boot warmers ready, gear in place, and soft snow right outside.

Soak in Stillness:

Private onsen are more than an amenity - they’re a moment. Settle into warm mineral water as the mountains glow outside and quietly surround you.

Details That Anticipate:

Before you even ask, it’s arranged. From grocery pre-stocking to ski passes and child care, our team ensures everything just happens - flawlessly.

Dine How You Like:

Whether a chef prepares sushi in your kitchen or we secure a table at Niseko’s hidden gems, dining feels personal, effortless, and exactly what you crave.

Luxury, Unscripted:

Interiors blend thoughtful design with mountain calm - soft linen, timber beams, snowy views, and spaces that invite slow mornings and quiet evenings.

Year-Round Hideaways:

Our vacation rentals in Japan welcome every season. After winter, find summer trails, quiet lakes, and light-filled spaces for family, rest, or solitude.

Your Time, Perfected:

Our concierge doesn’t follow scripts - they follow your schedule, pace and orders. From arrival to farewell, you’re in experienced hands that work quietly behind the scenes.

Explore Luxury Villa Rentals in Japan by Experience, Stay Type, and Occasion

Set the Scene – Choose the villa in Japan as per your desired experience

Niseko is our prime destination as it’s Japan’s mountain sanctuary. At 5 Star Villa Holidays, our luxury villas in Niseko combine world-class snowfall and intimate design. Each stay is tailored around your rhythm, whether carving fresh powder or retiring to a private onsen view.

Imagine stepping outside your lodge onto crisp snow that stretches toward Mt. Yōtei. From our luxury Ski Chalet , panoramic slopes roll before you through study windows, fire-lit interiors invite warmth and stillness, and outdoor dining awaits under soft blankets of snow. These are luxury villas in Japan redefined.

Choose the Journey – Define the purpose of your vacation in Japan

  • Ski-Focused Stays: Opt for ski-in, ski-out convenience in the heart of Hirafu Village. You’re steps from the lifts, yet far from crowds.
  • Alpine Retreats with Onsen: After the slopes, soak steaming volcanic waters in a private onsen, as views of tree-lined runs glint in winter light.
