"An alpine sanctuary in Niseko with 100 spacious rooms—28 suites include private onsen—spread across multiple buildings overlooking the Annupuri range. The spa sits beside a stream amid birch trees and includes a pool and a tattoo-friendly onsen; rooms offer deep soaking tubs, large storage for winter gear, and convertible sofas for families. Onsite services include ski valet and a First Tracks program, while summer programming runs from golf and zip-lining to cultural excursions to the National Ainu Museum." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H.
