Shiguchi

Shiguchi offers 5 meticulously renovated kominkas, spacious Japanese old houses built by Aizu master craftsmen, on a mountain ridge within a privately owned estate in the heart of the Niseko’s countryside. Each understated villa features its own private open-air onsen and elegant interiors decorated with antique and modern ceramics, ink paintings and sculptures from the private collection of Shouya Grigg. Neither a conventional hotel, nor a traditional ryokan, Shiguchi combines both modern comfort with traditional service, showcasing impeccable art, crafts, and centuries-old architecture nestled within Niseko’s extraordinary nature. For dining, guests can enjoy the adjacent Somoza restaurant and art center, a large, restored kominka where there is a curated range of personalized cultural and culinary experiences such as celebrating the time-honored Japanese tea ceremony in their contemporary tea room. Guests can also enjoy other activities such as ikebana (flower arranging) and fine art photography, wilderness hiking, and wellness therapies.
