Kozue

Nature, design and leisure come together beautifully at Kozue, a riverside aparthotel. A 3-minute drive from the Ace Family Lift, Kozue is within walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shops in Hirafu. In winter, the boutique property makes mountain life effortless with on-site ski storage and a helpful concierge.

Each suite is designed to bring the outside in, with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the natural views. Inside, natural materials and warm, modern touches create a welcoming atmosphere across 1- to 3-bedroom layouts. The 2-bedroom suites even come with private patios—perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes.

With its blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty, Kozue offers an exceptional alpine experience for families, couples, and groups alike.
