AYA Niseko - Grand Opening Celebrations

On the evening of December 13th, VIPs, local dignitaries, artists, and business partners alike gathered to witness the official AYA Niseko Grand Opening Ceremony; later celebrating the proceedings at the hotel's own exclusive Opening Party.

Attendees toasted the traditional kagami-wari (or Sake Ceremony) before enjoying the opulent charm and hospitality of AYA Niseko and its inaugural function.

After the resounding success of our opening ceremony, we are delighted today to welcome AYA Niseko's first guests.

Sitting near the base of the Annupuri mountain range and surrounded by sweeping National Park forest, visitors to Niseko are now able to experience a truly unrivalled Hokkaido experience—in luxury, comfort, and with the warmest of welcomes.

We would like to thank all those who are already booked to stay with us, and look forward to providing the highest level of service to all of our guests.
