Higashiyama Niseko Village, Japan
Higashiyama Niseko Village, the newest resort in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve portfolio, has opened in the country’s northernmost island of Hokkaido. The YTL Hotels-owned resort, positioned at the base of Mount Niseko Annupuri in the heart of Niseko Village, is an integrated all-season alpine resort. The resort is set within the Niseko United ski area that offers 886ha of skiable terrain and access to extensive backcountry skiing. The area also has an international ski school, chairlifts and gondolas, a dining and retail venue, an outdoor activity park and two golf courses.
Higashiyama Niseko Village features 50 guestrooms and suites appointed with refined amenities. Guests can expect cuisine that mirrors the seasons with locally sourced produce at Yukibana, or quintessential dining experiences at Sushi Nagi that observes the omakase tradition. Customised cocktails, single malts and local brews may be savoured at Ume Lounge, with an array of Izakaya-style dishes. Wellness seekers can indulge in tailored treatments at the bespoke spa, work up a sweat at the fitness centre, or enjoy a soak in the mineral-rich waters of Niseko’s natural underground hot springs at the traditional Japanese onsen.
