Six Senses Myoko will be a luxury ski resort close to the slopes at the Myoko Suginohara Ski Resort, at the foot of Mount Myoko.
The new luxury ski resort, a partnership between IHG and Patience Capital Group, will have 57 rooms and suites, many with private hot spring experiences.
In winter, ski the 90-hectare runway, including one of Japan’s longest runs at 8.5 kilometres, and in summer, hike mountain trails to see waterfalls and swim in natural springs.
The hotel will have two restaurants and a bar serving seasonal menus as well as a spa with eight treatment rooms, hydrotherapy and natural hot springs.
The property will sit as part of a broader regional plan that includes four hotels and two commercial facilities, which is planned to be open by 2034.
The surrounding mountain village will be home to a flagship store, dining options, wellness experiences connected to local culture, and art programs.
The design is a concept of “restoring the lost landscape of the foothills and restoring a topography in harmony with nature”.
“Named Golden Wind, it expresses the flow of sunlight and wind across the rice terraces, evoking the changing of the seasons and the rhythm of nature, from the sparkling trees of spring to the gleam of snow in winter.”
Six Senses Chief Operating Officer Neil Palmer says Myoko Kogen is one of Japan’s oldest ski areas, “offering an easily accessible and perfect blend of adventurous experiences, deep culture and stunning natural beauty”.
“Through our partnership with Patience Capital Group, Six Senses Myoko will breathe new life into this historic destination, transforming it into a setting for diverse and fresh experiences throughout the four seasons.”
PCG Founder, CEO and CIO Ken Chan says, “We are passionate about developing Myoko Kogen as a world-class mountain retreat, while celebrating its rich natural environment and cultural heritage”.
“Our partnership with IHG Hotels & Resorts to introduce the one-of-a-kind Six Senses Myoko marks a major milestone in this journey.
“We believe our shared values and vision are key to creating a destination where luxury, sustainability and authentic experiences blend.”
Six Senses Myoko is around three hours by car or two hours by train from Tokyo, with construction scheduled to begin in April 2026.
