Our Home in the Japanese Alps.
Each season we open up our Hakuba lodge, KT Villa, to friends and friends of friends. Pick an open window on the calendar or join an upcoming trip to enjoy deep snow, mountain air, and cozy nights by the fire.
Location & Setting
Right Between Hakuba 47 & Goryu
KT Villa sits in quiet Kamishiro forest about 1 kilometer from Hakuba 47 and 2 kilometers from Hakuba Goryu— two of the best interconnected ski resorts in Japan. Winter temperatures regularly dip between 0°C and -15°C, bringing legendary Nagano powder snow right to the doorstep.
