Our Story
Lodge 401 is a Family Place
Hi there! We’re your 401 family – Zoey, Rhys, and Ramona.
Our paths couldn’t have been more different: Zoey, a Taiwanese engineer with a love for thoughtful quality design, and Rhys, an Australian chef whose passion for food and hospitality runs deep.
The chase for perfect powder snow has carried us across the globe, and in 2018, it led us to meet each other in Annupuri. We are just like you, two snow lovers brought together by powder days and the magic of Niseko.
Lodge 401 was born from the spirit of adventure. It’s a blend of cozy atmosphere, thoughtful design, and high-quality service, infused with the warmth of good food, good company, and a deep love for this incredible mountain.
Lodge 401 is family-owned, and every stay is cared for like our own. From first contact to final farewell, you become part of our growing family of powderhounds. Arrive as a stranger, leave as a friend.
Hospitality, Sustainability & Community
At Lodge 401, our service is warm and down-to-earth. We strive to provide a kind of genuine hospitality that’s hard to come by these days.
We’re dedicated to sustainable practices, responsible tourism, and uplifting and supporting our local community. We feel incredibly lucky to call this beautiful country home and are honored to be part of Annupuri’s amazing community.
