Niseko is made up of four interconnected ski resorts: Grand Hirafu, Hanazono, Niseko Village and An’nupuri. Mount Yotei dominates the view from almost every corner; it’s often referred to as Yezo Fuji for its similarity to the more famous Japanese mountain.<\/p>\n

Sleep <\/strong><\/p>\n Traditional ryokans, Japanese inns, make for an incredible experience and you should certainly book a dinner in one of them but for pure luxury you can’t go past the many exceptional hotels and chalets.<\/p>\n Kimamaya by Odin<\/em><\/p>\n This design hotel would make a great place to come with friends and occupy all nine rooms. Set in the Hirafu village the Kimamaya is also home to The Barn bistro offering top quality French cuisine and an excellent wine list.<\/p>\n Kasara<\/em><\/p>\n Right in the heart of Niseko village these three-bedroom luxury townhouses are superbly outfitted with every indulgence including traditional Japanese wood baths, personal concierge, complimentary driver and lift tickets delivered to your door. The one-hour private ski instructor and guide on your first day is the icing on the snow cake.<\/p>\n Suiboko<\/em><\/p>\n Ten luxury lofts of one to five bedrooms make up this boutique establishment. Suiboko has an industrial style tempered with warm textures and touches of Japanese design. The views of Mount Yotei are simply stunning.<\/p>\n Eat<\/strong><\/p>\n There is no lack of dining options in Niseko with an inordinate number of Michelin starred chefs opening up shop in the resort. There’s everything to satisfy all cravings from French fine dining and top-notch sushi to perfect apr\u00e8s-ski comfort meals.<\/p>\n Maccarina<\/em><\/p>\n This is project by Michelin starred chef Hiroshi Nakamichi, one of Japan’s leading experts in French cuisine.

The mineral rich water comes direct from a mountain source right next door.<\/p>\n Prince Hotel<\/em><\/p>\n This onsen has a spectacular view of the mountain. The natural water here has a very high level of carbon dioxide making it an excellent post ski tonic to improve circulation.<\/p>\n Green Leaf Onsen<\/em><\/p>\n One of the few naturally formed onsens, Green Leaf is picturesque and serene. Snow falls onto the surrounding pine trees as your mind and body fully relax into the 40-degree water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Champagne powder.
