ALPINE LUXURY
A sanctuary of bespoke alpine luxury, this Ritz-Carlton Reserve makes its home in Japan’s premier powder snow destination of Niseko Village.
The first ‘Reserve’ label property in Japan, Higashiyama Niseko Village has the most enchanting setting up in the mountains. In the winter, guests are invited to explore the area’s 2,000-plus acres of ski-able terrain, perfectly groomed slopes and backcountry trails. Come summer, Niseko’s rich green forests and lush landscapes play host to keen golfers, cyclists and hikers. After a long day of adventure, you can kick back in front of a crackling fireplace in the Ume Lounge at the heart of the resort, or indulge in some pampering at the Spa Chasi La Sothys. Its private, natural spring water onsens are perfect for sinking into after a day out on the slopes.
DINING EXPERIENCE
Inspired by the beauty of these natural surroundings, the 50 rooms and suites showcase a blend of classic and contemporary aesthetics, with pretty cherry blossom motifs and floor-to-ceilings windows that frame scene-stealing views of Mount Yotei and Niseko Annupuri. Local, seasonal ingredients are the driving force behind the dining experience at Higashiyama Niseko’s two restaurants, with its chefs heading to nearby farms each day to select produce.
