Tour DAY 1
Living with Art in Niseko
Art-Stay - A Unique Fusion of the Indigenous and the Modern
Niseko Gastronomy
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 Art-Stay
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.
