Foreign Capitals invested in Niseko Hanazono!


by Kazu 

It was a pity that the hot spring in Niseko/Kutchan Area was cheated by some visitors to my favorite "Goshiki Onsen" Hot Spring Spa bvy changing the flow of the hot spring in order to enjoy the top-quality hot spring Without payment in the darkness. 
But, in Niseko Hanazono Area, the development has been conducted with appropriate permissions of authorities and the future possibilities of the area seemed to be unlimited, striking a good balance between development and preserving the nature.

Mt. Yotei with white drapes!


by Kazu

Mt.Yotei exists there with white drapes of clouds and had observed the change around itself for centuries. Without the official permission, a certain development has been conducted by a constructor hired by a foreign capital and that turned out recently.
A hectic amount of money moved around this area and the visitors to there from overseas increased rapidly. 
There seemed to be more room for additional development at the foot of M. Niseko Annupri and adjacent area but I hope the total balance between tourism and preservation of the nature will be kept carefully.

The New Area to be Developed !


by Kazu

I am not sure if the area was developed by cutting and taking off the ground or embankment. Buildings to be make on these premises will have to be arranged to savor amply the landscape of Mt. Yotei or Mt. Niseko Annupri so caerfully. 
The rooms on the eastern side of Hotel Nikko Niseko Style should keep this fine view of Mt. Yotei. I don't know the plan of the development and allocation of the accommodations in these area but it must be tough to design the total comfortable space. 
The godsends to this area should be well-shared and well-maintained. Many foreign capitals and tourists swamped to this area but the original value of the region must be kept and respected, I think. What do you think about it ?

Comfy Stay in Hotel Nikko Niseko Style!


by Kazu

The lounge on the second floor of Hotel Nikko Niseko has such nice a space to have all inclusive meal before dinner after five o'clock. 
  
As the surrounding premises are still being developed for accommodations and villas that will compose "Hanazono Village", the temporary accommodations made of "Super-house" are on the backside of the hotel.
Arranging the design of the buildings in that area to share the landscape of Mt. Totei and Mt. Niseko Annupri may be tough and the total landscape of this area should be contemplated and well-planned not to reduce the value of Hanazono Area, I think.

Takahashi Ranch in Niseko Town !


by Kazu

This tractor had been actually used in Takahashi Ranch of Niseko Town, I think. Driving the tractor in this area for an hour might be intriguing but tough for hours. The workers in the ranch had done that before.  
From the relaxation space next to the hot spring spa in Hotel Nikko Niseko Style, this scenery could be seen on that day. The lifts were in service even in daytime.  Optical fibers illumination was not set on the field in front of Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono yet but soon the attractive events will be held.
Outdoor activities such as zip line and trees trekking are available in the adjacent area but speaking of rafting, the guests must be picked up by the shuttle bus from Hanazono Area.

Making Cheese in Takahashi Ranch !


by Kazu

Even on Saturday, the workers of the cheese factory were struggling to make top-quality cheese in the humid cell of the factory run by Takahashi Ranch. Their art works were displayed in the fridge and waiting for the time to mature completely. 
This is the appearance of the Italian restaurant "Mandriano" and its cheese factory. Every weekend, so many visitors and tourists swamp to the area and give the power to them.
Other than the restaurant and cheese factory, they have sweets shop that sells ice cream, yogurt, sausages cookies. A veggie shop sourced locally and a craft shop are on the same premises. Please try them and get the level of the culinary delights in the area.

Cheese Factory and Italian Restaurant Mandriano in Takahashi Ranch!


by Kazu

Our visits to Kutchan /Niseko Area have relieved us from daily stress and pressure so much and helped us recharge our butteries so nicely. As we have to respond to the unforeseeable accidents and disasters in our business, we can not be far from Sapporo City except for our hometown-visit.    
We made a point of having lunch in the Italian restaurant "Mandriano" run by Takahashi Ranch in Niseko Town. Otherwise, we have Dim Sum lunch in "China Kitchen" of hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono. 
Both of them provide us with so nice meal. In Mandriano, we usually have pizza quatro fromage and fried potato. Sometimes, carpaccio accompanies. As the ranch makes top-quality cheese like "Parmigiano Reggiano" and other kinds of cheese, the dishes are breath-taking and grabbing the stomachs of the visitors.
