About.

Ukiyo is a boutique collection of premium alpine apartments offering a contemporary take on luxury living in the snowy village of Akakura Onsen.

Designed with comfort, style, and functionality in mind, Ukiyo features two levels of spacious, beautifully appointed residences—perfect for couples, families, or groups seeking an elevated mountain experience.

Perched just above Akakura’s main street, Ukiyo offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Step outside and you’re moments from the village’s best restaurants, bars, and izakayas. A short stroll connects you to ski lifts, soothing hot springs (onsen), rental shops, and the shuttle bus stop—everything you need for a seamless mountain escape.

  • Ukiyo was born from a shared dream between two couples brought together by a love of snow, travel, and timeless experiences in nature.

    Over years of exploring alpine destinations around the world, we found ourselves returning to one special place—Akakura Onsen.

    There’s a magic here: the deep snow, the quiet beauty of the Japanese Alps, the mix of tradition and adventure. We wanted to create something that captured that feeling—a space that feels both refined and welcoming, both a retreat and a basecamp.

    Ukiyo is that dream realized: a place to slow down, connect, and enjoy the moment. We’re excited to share it with you.
