KAMIMURA Partners with IGURU - Now Delivers
French fine-dining delivered to your home!
KAMIMURA launches delivery service to Kutchan & Niseko Town
~Partnering with Niseko's food delivery service "IGURU"~
“KAMIMURA” (Location: Niseko Hirafu-area, Hokkaido, Chef: Yuichi Kamimura), is pleased to announce a new delivery service with local business “IGURU”, bringing KAMIMURA meals to homes in Kutchan-cho and Niseko-cho, Abuta-gun.
We have created a meal-kit that allows our guests to easily recreate the tastes of the restaurant awarded one star on ‘Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2017 Special Edition’ at home. As COVID-19 precautions and restrictions continue, we are excited to offer our guests the option to enjoy a special and relaxing meal at home or at a local hotel or guesthouse.
KAMIMURA「Our Delivery Service」
- The service is available the entire area of Kutchan & Niseko town at a fixed price 1,000 yen per delivery, you can choose the date and the time to deliver.
- Chef Yuichi Kamimura himself researched and designed recipes most suitable for delivery, focusing on replicating the taste of the restaurant. We only offer a carefully considered menu that we can deliver with confidence.
- All the dishes you receive are in pre-made kits, with everything you need, even the seasonings. The
process is simple, just “warm and serve”. Not only is it possible at home, but also when you are staying in hotels or apartments where cooking utensils and equipment are likely to be restricted. You can prepare a French fine-dining meal at home in just a few minutes!
Background Story of The Project
KAMIMURA is located in “Shiki Niseko” in the center of Niseko Hirafu, and until now, we have mainly
served guests in our restaurant who come from both Japan and overseas.
However, due to the impact of COVID-19 over the past year, we have reduced our restaurant capacity to avoid over-crowding and ensure the safety of our guests. As a result, we have heard from many guests that they “would love to enjoy KAMIMURA at home.” In December of last year, we began selling the dinner meal kits to guests staying at the Chatrium Hotel and a small number of other accommodations nearby.
Now, we are partnering with IGURU to deliver KAMIMURA to private homes and accommodation providers throughout Kutchan and Niseko from 24th March 2021.
How/When to use the service.
- Celebrate a special moment, such as an anniversary with a delicious dinner at home.
- Create a memorable evening during your vacation in Niseko, without leaving your accommodation.
- Gift a delicious meal to family or friends who live and stay in Niseko.
* As the meal is cooked in hot water, you will need to prepare a pot of boiling water and a pot when you are ready to enjoy the dish.

Niseko comes to life online via new official website
Niseko Tourism's new website is now available in 3 different languages and more great functions to help you plan your next trip!
Niseko Tourism invites past or potential visitors to immerse themselves in Niseko’s four seasons via their new website which launched today.
The site acts as the central source of official information for tourists, and matches the modern atmosphere of Niseko.
Niseko Tourism Marketing Director Acme Wu says it is designed to create an immersive experience with a focus on high quality imagery of the Niseko area, as well as provide official up to date information on news and events.
“Visitors will be able to discover different aspects of Niseko as they navigate through each page of the site, and get a feel for the Niseko brand and holiday experience,” she said.
The new site is designed to carry out Niseko Tourism’s core aims for visitors:
- Inspire tourists to visit Niseko
- Help potential visitors plan their trip
- Help guide tourists who are already in Niseko
Information about Niseko’s seasons and most popular activities has been expanded and made much more accessible.
Website navigation has been greatly improved making it much easier to find information such as activities, onsen, and how to get to Niseko.
Additionally, a new “plan a trip section” has been added to provide useful tools for visitors to plan and customise their trip.
The website has been made available in three languages – English, Japanese and Chinese. Chinese was not available on the old website, and was added due to the ever increasing number of tourists visiting Niseko coming from Chinese-speaking countries.
The Niseko area is popular with tourists from all over the world, and this new website was designed to appeal to an international audience as well as the Japanese market.
The site is integrated with a Chatbot virtual assistant which answers questions to help visitors before they arrive or when they are here.

COVID Inspires Niseko Ski Resort to Build Giant Snow Screen for Drive-in Film Festival
A 10 x 8 metre wall of snow will form a pop-up drive-in movie screen for the Niseko Shootout Short Film Festival this Saturday night (13 March).
More than 18 Niseko-centric short films will be streamed live around the world from the festival, which will have Niseko’s Mt Yotei volcano looming as an epic backdrop to the event.
Niseko is Japan’s premier international ski resort, famous for its abundant, dry powder snowfall every winter.
Niseko Shootout Organiser Winse Heyward said there was more than enough snowfall this winter to form the giant screen.
“To the end of February we’ve had about 15m of cumulative snowfall,” Heyward said.
“They actually need to load excess snow in the village into trucks and drive it to snow dumps, so there was no shortage of snow around to make this screen.
“It’s the first time we’ve done the Niseko Shootout Short Film Festival like this – previously we held it indoors at the Hanazono resort base centre and had more than 400 people attend.
“Because of COVID we needed to think outside the box – necessity is the mother of invention and now we have this unique new event.”
TEASER OF "LEARN TO SNOWBOARD"
Crowd numbers at the event are limited to ensure COVID-19 safety.
The event will be hosted by Radio Niseko Announcer and Niseko Tourism Director John Barton, and Niseko Tourism DMO Assistant Lily Vivas.
This year’s films were submitted from within Japan and internationally from France, Scotland, Estonia, Australia, USA, Canada and more.
TRAILER OF "LINE STALKER"
To watch teasers or join the livestream go to Niseko Tourism’s Youtube channel.
Stay up to date with Niseko Shootout by following Niseko Tourism on: Facebook & Instagram.

Niseko Photo Book Released
Remote winter landscapes and the world-famous snow of Hokkaido can be shipped around the globe this winter thanks to a new photo book out of Niseko.
Published in the midst of international travel restrictions, Between Air & Water is the second Hokkaido photo book by Australian photographer and long-time Niseko resident Aaron Jamieson.
It is the first in a set of four books Jamieson plans to release in coming years – each will celebrate one of Hokkaido’s four distinct seasons.
Winter and Hokkaido’s mythical snow – a medium “between air and water” – is the central theme of the first book.
Jamieson says it is a hand-picked collection of some of the most poignant winter-season photos he has taken over 15 years living in and exploring Hokkaido.
“There is so much to Hokkaido, in many ways still a wild frontier that it would take several lifetimes to explore and this is what inspires me to continue the sojourn and continue sharing what I’ve been lucky to have seen.
“I wanted to take readers on a journey across the island during the unique winter months, through landscapes that most people would never see. Documenting the beauty of Hokkaido’s winters can be challenging and sometimes outright torturous, this only makes sharing these images all the more rewarding.”
Between Air & Water is available in Niseko at AJ Gallery and Gentemstick Niseko Showroom.
It can be ordered online with free international shipping via @AJgalleryniseko on Instagram or by emailing [email protected].
