Overview

In literature, many adventures involving princesses unfold in the forest, where they all find their happily ever after. It's easy to understand why when you step into Yanagi House, a magnificent palace nestled in the heart of Yotei Village's woodland. The expansive living space on the second floor will leave you breathless, offering stunning views of Mt. Yotei on one side and Mt. Niseko Annupuri on the other. Every aspect of this home exudes elegance as if it were curated by a museum expert who borrowed exquisite art pieces for temporary display. Step onto the deck that spans the length of the house, where you can practice yoga at sunrise and cozy up with a blanket to enjoy sunsets accompanied by a glass of wine. And for little princes and princesses, the woods behind the house provide ample safe space to build snowmen or explore for hares.
