Who We Are

Founded in 2006 Holiday Niseko is owned and operated by Ashley Nicholls and Perrin Chalke who have built the company from the ground up. They began managing just 5 properties in the lower Hirafu Village with the primary market being powder hungry Australian skiers and snowboarders who had just discovered the regions incredible snow. At this time the pair did everything from taking bookings to making beds. Now they employ 10 full time staff, 50 seasonal staff, manage 56 properties and branched into real estate and property development.

We love Hokkaido

Although originally drawn here for the snow, the outdoor pursuits the island offers during the warmer months have helped keep us here. This means we can provide helpful advice through out the year whether you are here to golf, cycle, fish, hike or simply enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
