Greetings from Our Founder, Tatsuyoshi Iwata

Thank you for visiting our website. My name is Tatsuyoshi Iwata. I am originally from Kyushu (Saga Prefecture) and spent my school days in a small town surrounded by nature.
Thereafter, I worked in Tokyo, Osaka, and outside Japan, in Whistler, Canada. I dreamed of one day living again in a beautiful ski resort, surrounded by nature, like Whistler. I learnt of an international and very attractive resort in Hokkaido called Niseko. I packed my bags and was in Niseko in 2015.
Niseko and Rusutsu are not only great places for skiing and snowboarding in Winter, but also have abundant hot springs, beautiful greenery in Summer with delicious, freshly picked vegetables available for purchase, making them attractive year-round resorts.
My goal is that I can help contribute to the development of the tourism industry, including local accommodations, by working behind the scenes as a Housekeeper in a community packed full of sights and attractions.
