Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve - Being Inspired by Kachou Fuugetsu


NISEKO, JAPAN – 19 October 2020 – Inspired by Kachou Fuugetsu that encourages self-discovery through the transient beauty of nature and wellbeing, Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve underpins this ancient Japanese philosophy through indigenous tactile aesthetics and unique sensory experiences. Debuting on 15 December 2020, the premier resort will curate exclusive all-season mountain adventures, immersive journeys, sublime gastronomy and restorative wellness therapies that appreciate the ever-changing beauty of nature where no two experiences can ever be the same.

Translating literally to “Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon”, Kachou Fuugetsu represents the importance of experiencing the beauty of each changing season and the fleeting beauty of nature. Appreciating those differences at that moment is the start to a self-discovery path with a feeling of wholeness and sense of freedom while focusing on the present moment.

The evolving seasons at Niseko Village, an internationally acclaimed alpine destination in Hokkaido, Japan, invites an exploration of its timeless beauty all-year round through its vast ski terrains, outdoor pursuits, wellness therapies and PURE nature park activities.

Higashiyama Reservists, a team of select experts curated as guides for Reserve guests, will possess insider knowledge of the local environment, trails and natural wonders that make Niseko such a remarkable destination.
