"Touted as Japan's first full-scale spa and wellness retreat, Aman Niseko represents a new evolution of the brand's philosophy: blending architectural harmony, cultural authenticity, and holistic rejuvenation in one breathtaking destination. If Aman Tokyo introduced guests to urban serenity and Amanemu celebrated the spirit of Ise Shima's natural hot springs, Aman Niseko will bring it all together in a sanctuary dedicated entirely to wellness, isolation, and design-led tranquility."
"As with every Aman property, design lies at the heart of the experience. The late Kerry Hill Architects, who also shaped Aman Tokyo, Amanemu, and Aman Kyoto, were commissioned to conceptualize the project. Their approach pays homage to the ryokan, the traditional Japanese inn that has defined hospitality for centuries. The architecture is deliberately subtle, merging the resort into the mountain's natural contours rather than dominating them."
"Timber, stone, and glass form the foundation of the design palette - materials chosen for their quiet dignity and ability to frame the landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows invite sweeping views of Hokkaido's forests, snowfields, and distant peaks, creating a meditative dialogue between indoors and outdoors. Each of the 30 guest suites will feature private Furo bathtubs and in-room onsen facilities, offering an intimate retreat within a retreat."
Aman Niseko will open in 2027 on the slopes of Mount Moiwa in Hokkaido as Aman's fourth Japanese property. The resort is conceived as Japan's first full-scale spa and wellness retreat, uniting architectural harmony, cultural authenticity, and holistic rejuvenation. Design is rooted in ryokan tradition and was conceptualized by the late Kerry Hill Architects, who previously worked on other Aman properties. The architecture will merge with the mountain contours using timber, stone, and glass, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing forests and snowfields. Thirty guest suites will include private Furo bathtubs and in-room onsen facilities, offering secluded, design-led tranquility.
