"Inspired by the natural beauty of its picturesque setting, this five-star hotel in Hokkaido surrounds guests in majestic mountain views from its rooms, on-site restaurants, traditional onsens and a luxury spa."

Visit Japan's top winter sports destination while enjoying luxurious accommodations and first-rate amenities at the Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. This five-star ski-in/ski-out hotel at the base of Mount Niseko Annupuri invites guests to learn about local culture, experience unique gastronomy and unwind with a soothing soak in the onsen. The resort was designed around the Japanese concept of Kachou Fuugetsu: discovering oneself through experiencing nature and appreciating the beauty of the changing seasons. Arishima Takeo Memorial Museum is eleven minutes away, and you will find two 18-hole golf courses within a ten-minute drive.

The 50 guest rooms and suites offer majestic views of Mount Niseko Annupuri or Mount Yotei and feature nature-inspired decor like cherry blossom motifs on the headboards and carpets that evoke the tranquil forest outside. The spacious bathrooms include locally produced wood-scented bath products to use in the rainforest shower and the separate oversized soaking tub. Guest rooms come with a comfortable sofa bed, a Nespresso machine and tea kettle and a mini-bar stocked with local refreshments. The spacious Higashiyama Suite offers two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes plus a dining area with seating for eight and a powder room off the living room.

Seasonal cuisine made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients awaits at the three on-site restaurants. Each morning, the aroma of bread and pastries fresh from the oven fills Yukibana, the hotel's all-day dining destination where you can take in sweeping views of the mountainous landscape through the window-lined walls. At Sushi Nagi, omakase-style meals celebrate the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine, while Ume Lounge invites guests to sip Japanese whiskies and local beers beside the cosy fireplace while watching the snowfall through large picture windows. In-room dining is also available 24 hours a day.

Natural thermal springs feed the hotel's traditional Japanese onsen, where you can enjoy a rejuvenating soak in mineral-rich waters. Spa Chasi La Sothys is a sanctuary of serenity, where you can relax with a full menu of spa treatments featuring locally-sourced ingredients like birch and lavender. From jogging on a treadmill while taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding area to staying centered with a yoga practice, the 24-hour fitness centre makes it easy to stay active during your visit.
