Shakotan Peninsula Cliff House

This dramatic cliff-edge home commands one of the most spectacular positions on Hokkaido's coastline. Floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides captures panoramic views of the Sea of Japan, with nothing between you and the horizon.

The cantilevered deck extends over the water, providing the sensation of floating above the sea. A private path descends from the property to a secluded cove with some of the clearest water in Japan — perfect for summer swimming and snorkeling.

The sunsets from this property are legendary, with the sun setting directly over the sea in brilliant displays of color. The interior is designed to maximize the views from every room, with clean modern finishes that complement rather than compete with the natural setting.
