Hanazono, Kutchan, Nisekoシグチ

Shiguchi

SHIGUCHI is a set of five villas in three 150-year-old farmhouses from Aizu, dismantled and rebuilt with nail-free joinery in a wooded valley in Hanazono, outside Niseko, by the photographer and hotelier Shouya Grigg. Each villa has its own spring-fed bath, kitchen and pieces from Grigg's art collection, and meals are taken next door at Somoza, a restored farmhouse gallery and restaurant.

Q&A

Tell us your dates and our team in Japan books it for you, at the hotel’s own rate. We ask for the room we would choose and look after everything else with the hotel on your behalf: your preferences and requests, any special arrangement, from a celebration to a car from the station, and whatever you need before and during your stay. The price and cancellation terms are confirmed with you first.
