dream itineraries
suited to stay in Grand Hirafu, which is among the buzziest towns in the
area. "It has more of that traditional ski-village feel." Gray also suggests
checking into the Skye Niseko hotel, a contemporary property with an
onsen and door-to-door ski access. "It's among the best, and up a bit closer
to the hill," she says. Otherwise, consider AYA Niseko, a ski-in/ski-out
property with incredible penthouses, and centrally located in the village,
with quick access to a wealth of restaurants. "People love the food, and
it's really fun to have ramen on the slopes," says Gray. Boyoso, located in
a log cabin under a gondola, is the best place for slopeside ramen, but
Gray also recommends two top-flight, reservations-required sushi spots:
Sushi Kato and Sushi Shin by Miyakawa, from three Michelin–starred
chef-founder Masaaki Miyakawa.
Skiing Niseko, the largest
resort on Hokkaido,
which is at the center of
Japan's ski boom.
