Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve will offer four inspiring journeys for guests to explore the beautiful Japanese mountains.
Designed by the hotel’s dedicated team of personal guides, known as Higashiyama Reservists, each experience aims to encourage self-discovery. The Higashiyama Reservist Summer Experiences will feature the following:
- The Majestic Mount Yotei Hike – Early birds can catch the sunrise as the group departs at 6.30am via shuttle, arriving at Mount Yotei’s base and preparing to hike up the majestic mountain. Recharge with energising on the go breakfast and lunch boxes as special moments are captured on the resort GoPro. Reservists will lead guests on an adventurous hike that promises amazing views across the valley and pleasant encounters with varieties of flora, fauna and local wildlife.
- The Full-Day Lake Toya E-Bike Adventure – Set off on two wheels towards Lake Toya with a chef-prepared lunch box and discover an ostrich farm, a farmer’s market and the delights of Makkari Town with memories captured on GoPro. Although most famed for its ski season, Niseko is equally beautiful, if not more so during the summer. Quiet roads, mild temperatures and attractive landscapes make for a perfect e-biking adventure.
- The Scenic Mount Annupuri E-Bike Ride – Traverse on the Niseko Panorama Line, one of the famous winding roads in Hokkaido that threads through Niseko’s peaks to enjoy the mountain nature. Visit the beautiful Shinsen-numa (marsh) located 2,546ft above sea level nicknamed “Where God and Mountain Hermits Live”, Kanrosui Spring Water, Niseko Green Farm and indulge in dairy treats at Milk Kobo.
- The Half-Day Niseko Leisure Ride – For all ages with intermediate fitness levels, you can enjoy a leisurely 3-4 hour cycling tour and visit the famous Wakimizu no Sato tofu shop, feed ostriches, marvel at the farmer’s market offering an abundance of fresh produce before choosing your favourite confections at Milk Kobo. From ice cream to the fresh drinkable yoghurt served in their iconic bottles this visit will delight the young and young-at-heart.
