Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve · Japan
The Experience
Higashiyama Niseko Village is ski season turned down a notch. Set apart from the busier base areas, it feels cocooned in forest and snow, focused on refinement, quiet, and rest rather than après or spectacle.
This is where you stay when skiing is part of the trip, not the entire personality. Days unfold gently. Mornings are unhurried. Afternoons end in the onsen. Evenings are early and deeply satisfying.
The Highlight Reel
The Arrival: A noticeable shift from village energy to forest calm.
The Setting: Snow-covered woods and hushed surroundings that absorb sound beautifully.
The Standout: The onsen. Atmospheric, grounding, and quietly unforgettable.
The Details: Low-key architecture, cocooning rooms, and a tone that encourages sleep.
Why We Love It
The Quiet: Intentional, immersive, and rare during ski season.
The Setting: Forested, peaceful, and beautifully removed.
The Mood: Refined, calm, and uninterested in noise.
Ideal For
Couples seeking winter calm, families with school-aged kids who ski and do not need entertainment, and trips where rest matters as much as snow.
Mini Edit
Best for older children who ski and can appreciate quieter evenings and slower mornings.
