“Five traditional wooden farmhouses known as kominkas on a mountain ridge in Niseko countryside. Rooms feature a blend of modern artwork, antique furniture, ceramics and wood-burning stoves, plus there are terrace bathtubs with hot spring onsen water and valley views. A calm stay immersed in nature.”

Shiguchi
Five spacious villas are named after the universal elements of Chi (fire), Sui (water), Ka (fire), Fu (wind), and Ku (void). Spanning two or three levels, they have up to three bedrooms, with interiors fusing impressive kominka timberwork with antique furniture, high-tech kitchens, ceramics, and art (in my room, Chi, this ranged from a framed Henry Moore to Grigg’s monochrome forest photography on washi paper screens). Best of all are terrace bathtubs crafted from rocks or hinoki cypress wood, filled with hot spring onsen water—plus haiku-inspiring valley views...
