This vacation home on Japan?s northernmost island of Hokkaido sits on a bluff with a view of Mt. Yotei (also called Ezo Fuji for its resemblance to Mt.

Its name, The Clearwater, is derived from the pure snowmelt from Mt. Yotei that flows in the river below.

There are two master bedrooms, each with its own view of either Mt. Yotei or Mt. Annupuri.
