A Tranquil Escape in the Heart of Niseko’s Scenic Countryside, Where Nature and Luxury Meet
Surrounded by the silent majesty of Hokkaido’s forests and the snow-capped peaks of Mount Yōtei, Shiguchi is not just a retreat — it’s a living art experience. Part luxury stay, part private museum, this countryside sanctuary blends centuries-old Japanese homes with contemporary sculpture, slow living, and alpine serenity.
Five restored kominka farmhouses sit across the property, each one unique — rooted in history and curated with museum-quality works by Japanese artists. Nature hums in the background, seasons shape every moment, and quietude takes the lead.
Highlight: A winter morning in your cedar hinoki bath, snowflakes falling softly outside, and only the sound of wind through trees.
