Nikko Style Niseko HANAZONO Launches Limited-Time Anniversary Stay Plan

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 (Bernama) -- Nikko Style Niseko HANAZONO has marked its first anniversary with the launch of a limited-edition “Thank You Anniversary Stay”, an all-inclusive premium accommodation plan designed for small groups seeking an elevated winter experience in Niseko.

Available for one exclusive party staying three nights between Jan 7 and March 8, 2026, the plan is priced at 3.9 million Japanese yen—a play on the Japanese pronunciation of “3.9”, which sounds like “thank you”. (100 Japanese yen = RM2.55)

The stay combines premium accommodation, private transportation, dining, guided tours, and curated experiences into a seamless winter getaway. The plan is limited to a single group per stay.

Guests will enjoy exclusive use of the hotel’s largest Nikko Style Suite and adjoining Premium Studio Suite View, connected by a private 66-square-metre rooftop lounge with panoramic views of the Niseko HANAZONO Resort slopes.

The plan accommodates up to seven adults and offers a secluded retreat amid Hokkaido’s winter landscape, according to a statement.

The package includes round-trip airport transfers, a private luxury vehicle with a dedicated driver allowing guests to travel freely throughout Kutchan, Hirafu, and the greater Niseko area, three-day lift passes for the Hanazono and Hirafu ski areas, and a half-day private tour to destinations such as Otaru, Sapporo, Lake Toya, or Lake Shikotsu.

Guests will be welcomed with a curated gift set featuring local Hokkaido and Niseko specialities.

Crafted in line with the brand promise “Your Stay, Your Style”, the anniversary plan offers an immersive and indulgent way to experience Niseko’s world-renowned winter season.
