Six Senses Hotels, Resorts and Spas, a luxury brand founded in 1995 and owned by IHG Hotels & Resorts, British multinational hospitality company based in Windsor, Berkshire, England, UK, known for its sustainable and wellness - focused hospitality, with properties in unique locations around the world has signed a hotel management agreement with Patience Capital Group, a Singapore - based real estate investment and management company founded in 2019 with also an office in Tokyo to develop a new hotel and residences at the foothills of Mount Myoko.
The development is situated in Myoko Kogen, a well known ski region, notable for its extensive snowfall, averaging 13.4 metres annually, a location that is also known for its natural hot springs and scenic landscapes and accessible from Tokyo, with a three - hour drive or a two - hour train ride.
The project, named Six Senses Myoko is located in Japan’s Suginohara ski resort, well known to have one of the longest run in Japan of 8.5 kilometres and its highest vertical drop at 1.124 metres, a wide ski area that offers 90 hectares of skiable terrain boasting a variety of slopes suitable for all levels and abilities that is spread at the foothills of Mt. Myoko with the village of Suginosawa Onsen at its base.
Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2026, a project that is part of Patience Capital Group’s broader vision to enhance Myoko Kogen as a year - round destination, contributing to the local community’s economic development.
The architectural design of the property will be led by Kengo Kuma and Kume Sekkei, with a focus on integrating the hotel into the surrounding environment and adopting the concept called “Golden Wind” that aims to reflect the area’s natural elements often inspired by terraced rice fields, the flow of wind and sunlight, and seasonal changes.
The property will feature a hotel with 57 rooms and suites, as well as 21 branded residences, two restaurants, a bar, a boutique offering tailored services, a spa with eight treatment rooms and hydrotherapy facilities.
This development is part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ strategy to expand the Six Senses brand, which currently operates 27 hotels and resorts in 22 countries, with 38 additional properties in the pipeline.
