The heart of the village is Niseko Village's main pulse where paved intimate walkways are flanked by contemporary shopping and dining concepts with seamless ski-in, ski-out access between mountain adventures and indoor diversions, day and night. Inspired by traditional Japanese machiya architecture with its unmistakable sliding screens, wooden lattice façades and walkways lit by lanterns, the modern and the traditional are seamlessly interwoven to evoke a genteel lifestyle imbued with elegance and heritage.
