SHIGUCHI

Old wooden farmhouses were dismantled, carried to a quiet valley outside Niseko, and rebuilt without a single nail, the hand-carved beams locked together the way they were centuries ago. The five cottages at this design hotel each carry a Japanese elemental name and house pieces from the owner's personal art collection, private onsen baths, and curated libraries. A wood-lined spa, mountain-view restaurant, and Hokkaido wines round it out. One Michelin Key.
