First look
Aman’s fourth address in Japan is its first built for the snow. Aman Niseko will sit high on Mount Moiwa, above the powder fields that made Niseko a fixture on every serious skier’s list, on a nature-reserve site the brand says will be the only development on the mountain. It’s drawn by Kerry Hill Architects, the late Kerry Hill’s studio behind Aman Tokyo, Amanemu and Aman Kyoto, so the design pedigree is the same one that defined Aman’s Japanese run.
On paper it’s small and deliberate: 30 guest suites and 31 branded residences, indoor and outdoor onsen, and design notes that reach toward Hokkaido’s indigenous Ainu traditions rather than the usual alpine-lodge clichés. A year-round resort, not just a ski property, hiking and rafting in the warmer months.
We haven’t stayed, and 2030 is a long runway, so dates can move. What we’ll be watching for: whether ski access lives up to the Moiwa setting, how the onsen culture is handled at this scale, and whether the residences crowd the experience. We’ll find out when we visit.
Before it opens
When does Aman Niseko open?
Aman Niseko is expected to open in 2030, per Aman’s official site. Some earlier trade reports cited 2027, but the current brand guidance is 2030, and a date this far out can still shift.
How many rooms will Aman Niseko have, and what will it be like?
It’s planned with 30 guest suites plus 31 branded residences on Mount Moiwa in Hokkaido, with indoor and outdoor onsen and Kerry Hill Architects’ design. It’s Aman’s first ski-focused resort in Japan, built as a year-round mountain retreat.
