Odin Hills is a 16-hectare luxury village with sweeping views of Mount Yotei, close to Hanazono ski resort and the future Kutchan bullet train. This Japanese-European mountain retreat blends privacy, alpine luxury, and active living in a pristine forest setting.
Hanazono is one of the most strategic areas in Niseko. The Shinkansen, Japan’s fabled bullet train, started construction in Hokkaido in 2005 and will connect Niseko to the rest of Japan by 2030. The local station in Kutchan is a mere 5-minute drive from Odin Hills and the town is already teeming with new restaurant and shopping options driven by the explosive growth of the area. An even shorter 1-minute drive away from Odin Hills lies the newly-built Park Hyatt at the foot of the Niseko United ski domain. This includes over 50km of ski runs serviced by 38 lifts and ski grounds that are continuously expanding with upgrades to new modern equipment, new ski lifts and slopes. The Weiss resort is set to be connected to Hanazono, forming the largest ski domain within Niseko’s four resorts. And a further 2 minutes away, golf lovers will find the Hanazono Golf Club with an 18-hole, 7,003 yard championship course.
Conceived by the team behind the iconic Odin Place, Odin House and The Barn by Odin, Odin Hills is an exciting new development. Taking inspiration from the best-loved villages in the European Alps – St Moritz, Gstaad, Courchevel, Verbier – luxurious chalets and estates thoughtfully weave together for the perfect mix of active leisure family living with equal measures of natural quiet and tranquility.
With optimized panoramic views of Mount Yotei to the front and of protected forest and the Hanazono ski fields to the back, the masterplan draws from the tranquility and raw beauty of its environment to include accessibility to big nature, both within and outside of Odin Hills.
The design is reflective and respectful of the natural topography and provides a wonderful canvas for your family home to nestle within an environmentally responsible development.
The four-season design celebrates nature and curates a series of interconnected participatory adventure zones for non-motorized activities such as cross country skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, jogging, hiking or mountain biking.
Odin Hills provides a canvas for land owners to create the homes of their dreams. Whether a personal private retreat away from the daily stresses of work, an adventure seeker’s playful den of outdoor toys, or a warm gathering place for extended families, this is a rare opportunity to create a home for generations to enjoy in a place of inspiring beauty.
Land owners have two options. They can work with their own architects and interior designers to design a fully customised home following Odin Hills’ design guidelines. Or they can choose a pre-designed home from a program of four contemporary chalets developed by Odin Hills together with Pritzker-prize winning architect Shigeru Ban.
Celebrated for his pioneering use of materials and dedication to humanitarian efforts around the world, Shigeru Ban has created numerous innovative and iconic architectural designs, from residential, to commercial, institutional and cultural. For Odin Hills, Shigeru Ban Architects have created four modern luxury villas in total harmony with the natural surroundings of Hanazono.
