Ranshima Beach in Yoichi, autumn 2025 !

by Kazu

One of the Cape of Shakotan Peninsula could be seen like a head of Gorilla or Turtle over the bay of Yoichi. Very few people were on the beach and our go-to cottage cafe "Wildeness Cafe" was closed after the crowded summer.    

We could not see the beautiful sunset in Yoichi Town on that day but I could see this wonderful sunrise and magic hour next day. Without any cloud in the sky in the east, the silhouette of the trees and buildings played up the blue and orange colors.  

 

Black Wood Grill in Miru 2025 !

Our last day in Niseko Hanazono in 2025 started with the breathtaking art work of clouds and Mt. Yotei. Hotel Nikko Niseko Style contributed to the landscape with its monochrome and simple design with orange lighting. 

The countenances of Mt. Yotei continued to change and the clouds passing by the peak of the mountain were also changing the shape. At first, like a cap, next white drape, the next scarf sticking to the neck.  

It seemed the menu of the in-house restaurant in Hotel Miru run by the hotel chain that also run accommodations in Singapore, Amami Island and Kyoto., was streamlined and did not have Wagyu Hamburger anymore.  

 

Hotel Park Hyatt allures affluent people !

With the reflection of the light from the silver metal plate of the base, the illumination made of optical fibers looked much brighter than the ones on the lawn of the slope.   

Different from the ones on the lawn that were like light-emitting jellyfish in the deep and dark ocean, the ones on the metallic plates were like what came from the other planet or galaxy.      

The illumination in Niseko Hanazono Area had increased and developed in the number and quality. Subtle, calm  but breathtaking attraction with the scenery of the nature in the darkness will continue to allure the tourists and citizens, I think.  

 

Brighter Illumination in fro of the Hotel !

Different from the optical fibers display on the hillside, the metal taste display was something like futuristic and scientific. The objects might have been custom made, ordered by Hotel Park Hyatt.  

The metal-taste optical fiber objects were set over the lawn and the whole unit of the objects were like space station in the stratosphere. They were new in the event "Mountain Lights".

The inside of the occupied hotel rooms could be seen from the objects on the ground. Many of the rooms in the hotel were lit up but no silhouette of guests could be seen. The light performance was so fascinating for the guests of the hotel and others.

The details of design of the hotel building seemed to have been well-designed and inspiring, making the most of the scenery of Mt. Yotei and the surroundings. The space of relaxation and luxury satisfy all the guests staying there. 

The shops in the hotel had so nice decoration and items on  the shelves. It seemed to be so hard to clean up the display and shelves. The prices of the items might be comparatively more expensive than other hotels in that area but they tickled conspicuous consumption.

The foyer had such huge window to see Mt.Yotei and Kutchan Town. The objects in the air were like ships in the air. I was wondering who had the right of final decision on the design of the interior and exterior. 

 

The Lounge in Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono !

Before the sunrise, I jogged up to the curious house on the slope. One of the male deer was roaring with its high tone voice as if it declared the start of the battle or the warning of the invader into their territory.

The silhouette of Mt. Yotei and its cap of cloud could be seen more clearly gradually. Two tall trees could be seen on the both side of the silhouette from this angle as if they were the gate to the sacred mountain. 

In the afternoon, we had so pretty and delicious cakes in the lounge of Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono. It was the first time for us to use this lounge but the atmosphere was so comfortable for us and the cakes were so impressive and inspiring.

 

The Fireworks for a few minutes !

by Kazu

The fireworks in front of Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono in 2025 were roaring the closing note. Only several minutes were given to express their beauty and trick but all the audience witnessed the performance filled them up with happiness and satisfaction. 

The trees beside the stage of the performance of the indigenous people in Hokkaido Ainu and the fireworks were also lit up to play up the fascinating shows and darkness of the mountain.

Several hours later, the first magic hour of the day started during my jogging around Hanazono Area early in the morning started and comfy winds also started to blow my hair.
