Knowing what is enough, an adult trip to Niseko in early summer.
with Hilton Honors American Express® card

Knowing what is enough, an adult trip to Niseko in early summer.

Niseko in Hokkaido is known as one of the best ski resorts in the world. However, it is also fun to choose a season when there is no snow. Spend a relaxing time in a quiet space surrounded by greenery, and do not pack your schedule. Luxury may be found in such "do-nothing" time. This time, I would like to introduce you to the Hilton Honors American Express®While wisely utilizing the benefits of the "Card", I enjoyed a trip of a higher rank.

Go on a quality trip to enjoy the margins of time without being pressed for time.

We landed at New Chitose Airport and drove about two hours from there. The destination is Niseko in Hokkaido.

The theme of this year's trip is "Free time, adult travel". Even those who normally enjoy camping, mountain climbing, and fishing will be able to experience a different kind of luxury by choosing a trip centered on a hotel stay.

Niseko is known as a winter ski resort, but in summer, there are many ways to enjoy summer. The bare face of Niseko, without its usual snow-cover, was filled with clear air and vast landscapes.

Chill and active. The Hilton Niseko Village is recommended as a base for a trip to Niseko where you can enjoy both. Surrounded by nature and with a spectacular view of Mt. Yotei, one of Niseko's most famous mountains, the Hilton Niseko Village is one of Niseko's representative hotels.

The ski slopes are directly connected to the hotel, and in winter the area is crowded with skiers from all over the world. In summer, on the other hand, it is popular as a serene summer retreat for adults seeking tranquility and openness.

A variety of activities adjacent to the hotel are available, including golf, hiking, and horseback riding. In addition, at "Pure," a nature experience ground open for a limited time only, visitors can enjoy tree trekking and a 1.4-km-long zip line.

Upon arrival, a warm welcome by the Journey Ambassadors was received and check-in went smoothly.

Hilton's Journey Ambassadors (designation varies by hotel) are hospitality professionals who make your stay more comfortable and special. They are the ones who provide personalized hospitality while staying close to your travel goals and preferences.

The Hilton Honors American Express Card" takes you beyond the ordinary and makes "elegant and luxurious travel" a reality. You can earn points by paying at more than 8,600 Hilton hotels in 139 countries and regions around the world, as well as by making regular purchases.

Among the many card benefits, the "Weekend Free Night Award*" is particularly noteworthy. This is a special benefit that allows you to stay for free at any Hilton hotel worldwide on weekends, when room rates tend to be higher.

(*) "Weekend Free Night Privilege" requires annual spending of 1.5 million yen or more and continuation of the program in the following year. (Program period is one year each year from the date of card enrollment/switchover.) Available for one room for two persons when a standard room is available. Valid for one year from the issuance of the award and limited to one night on Friday, Saturday or Sunday night.

Simply by holding the card, you will automatically receive Hilton Honors Gold status (usually requires 20 stays or 40 nights per year), the highest level of Hilton membership. The cardholder can enjoy benefits such as complimentary breakfast (up to one companion) and room upgrades based on availability at no extra charge when staying at the hotel.

The room I reserved this time was a "Deluxe Room". However, thanks to my Hilton Honors Gold status, I received a free upgrade* to a Deluxe Room King with Yotei View, which offered a more spectacular view of Mt! A good start to the day, and my expectations for my stay were high.

(*) Room upgrades are available depending on availability on the day of the event.

(Product Twelve) jacket ¥52,800, cardigan ¥31,900 (both Product Twelve), pants ¥49,500 (eLight), glasses ¥55,000 (Ivan 7285), bracelet ¥22,000, ring ¥15,400 (Adawat Touareg), Cartier bracelet ¥22,000, ring ¥15,400 (Adawat Touareg), Cartier watch ¥327,800 (Eguchi Watch Shop, Eguchi Watch Shop Shoto), Tsuchiya bag Boston bag ¥126,500 (Tsuchiya Bag Tsuchiya Bag), other personal effects of the stylist

As soon as you enter the room, you are greeted by a magnificent view of Mt. Yotei. The view is so liberating that it makes you want to take a deep breath.

We will be staying in the Deluxe Room Yotei View King. Not only can you enjoy the view of Mt. Yotei from the large windows, but if you are lucky, you may even see a sea of clouds. You can see all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Each room also has towel art to enhance the resort atmosphere. This room had a charming babushka motif. The welcome gift of wine and fruit is a perk unique to card holders.

Simple and sophisticated interior design is reflected in the spaciousness of the room. It is impossible not to be excited by this room suitable for an adult traveler who feels in harmony with nature.
