For
Friends and family planning a February Hokkaido trip
Worth noticing
The chalet estimate is about USD 2,500 per person; hotel guests book independently, and the private chef is not confirmed.

Field notes

Michel frames the week as a group birthday trip, not a ski trip: guests can choose snow sports, onsens, ramen, or simply staying in. The chalet estimate is explicitly provisional and depends on dates, the final property, and headcount; guests choosing a nearby hotel or apartment book independently. The page also flags that Rakuichi Soba has only twelve seats and requires advance booking.
