The tour starts with a gastronomy experience overlooking Niseko’s symbol, Mt. Yoteizan. The culinary culture of Niseko is nurtured by the Shiribetsu River and beautiful mountains, Yoteizan to the East and Niseko Annupuri to the North, both of which are designated national parks. This is sacred land to the indigenous Ainu and is renowned for its clear and fresh water. The water nurtures not only fresh seafood but also helps in the cultivation of rice, fruit, and vegetables. This is a gastronomy experience dedicated to the guests, where one can taste the essence of Niseko. Enjoy the blessings of the Kamuy - gods of Ainu - during a lunch that fuses French and Japanese cuisine using delicious fresh local ingredients.
Accompanying this special lunch is a selection of local sake and wine, all of which perfectly reflect de terrior of Niseko.

Niseko is known for its exciting art scene and its amazing architectural designs. Its uniqueness stems from the delicate and serene traditional Japanese style as well as the spiritual beliefs of the Ainu people. Inspired by Moshir - the land of Ainu - artists and architects created a unique architecture that is not just aesthetically pleasing but also practical during the harsh winter.

A tour with one of the most prominent entrepreneurs of Niseko in this area, Shouya Grigg, will provide the fascinating story and the philosophy behind his creation. During this talk with this visionary artist, we aim to offer an insight into the fusion of local traditional culture and modern artistic practice.

Initially, it was Australian investment that put Niseko on the international map as one of the most beautiful and exciting resorts. Today, developers, funds, and individual investors from Southeast Asian countries, as well as well-established hotel operators such as the Hilton, Park Hyatt, Ritz Carlton, and Aman have seen the opportunity that Niseko offers and are now heavily investing in the area. Niseko is attracting much attention as one of the ‘hottest’ destinations in the world.
During this tour, we are delighted to be able to offer our guests a unique opportunity to explore the various business trends in Niseko by discussing opportunities with current operators who are based in the area.
Each area in Niseko - Hirafu, Hanazono and Niseko-cho- has its own unique character, and new developments in all the areas are underway as we speak. A harmonious coexistence with nature and sustainable tourism is the foundation of the tour’s philosophy. Please enjoy this rare opportunity to see Niseko in a new and exciting way, and join us in our mission to begin a new era of tourism.

To conclude the 2nd day of the tour, we have a special program which will help to learn more about Niseko and its business trends.
The theme of the forum is "The Next Big Thing in Niseko", and business owners and investors in Niseko will discuss the area’s appeal and its huge potential for future growth.
Following these insightful presentations, guests are welcome to engage in discussions regarding sustainable growth and high-end tourism, investment and more!
