MUWA NISEKO Launches 'Race Week Stay Plan' for the First UCI Gran Fondo Championships in Asia, Welcoming World-Class Athletes with Tailored Services and Wellness

MUWA NISEKO, a luxury wellness resort operated by H-SUMMIT (located in Kutchan, Hokkaido), has begun accepting reservations for its limited-time 'Race Week Stay Plan' for the 2026 UCI Gran Fondo Championships, available via its official website (https://www.muwaniseko.com) from August 24 to August 31, 2026.

Having welcomed VIPs who love snow sports from around the world during the winter, MUWA NISEKO is now taking on a new role for the world's top cyclists this summer. In conjunction with the first-ever UCI Gran Fondo Championships in Asia, MUWA NISEKO aims to be more than just a place to stay; it will serve as a 'Wellness Base Camp' for athletes to achieve peak condition and deep recovery. We provide meticulous services tailored to cyclists, ensuring they spend their race week comfortably and making their time in Niseko a special journey.

As a welcome gift, we have prepared a kit of carefully selected wellness items to support pre-race conditioning. The entrance is equipped with a dedicated bike cleaning zone, and each guest room features secure bicycle storage, ensuring you can stay with your precious bike with peace of mind.

This plan, available for a minimum of two nights, offers a variety of room types from Deluxe Rooms to Penthouses, allowing you to choose a stay style that fits your race schedule and the number of companions.

On race day, we will provide an 'Early Breakfast Box' at our all-day dining restaurant, 'HITO by TACUBO,' and deliver warm coffee at 4:00 AM for your departure. Furthermore, we will operate a dedicated shuttle bus from the resort to the starting line to support comfortable travel on the day of the race.

After the race, we offer a late check-out until 2:00 PM to allow time for rest. Guests can enjoy our signature wellness experience, the Infinity Onsen, at a special discounted price (20% off). Surrounded by the magnificent nature overlooking Mount Yotei, we provide a moment of calm wellness to help release the tension of the race.

We have also prepared special rewards for champions. Those who stay under this plan and win the overall title in the 2026 UCI Gran Fondo Championships (Road Race 140km/80km, Time Trial, or Team Relay) will receive two nights of free accommodation and an Infinity Onsen experience for future use. Age-group winners will receive a dining voucher for 'HITO by TACUBO' as a special prize.

MUWA NISEKO opened in December 2023 and is now in its third year. With 113 high-quality rooms, each with unique features such as ski-in/ski-out access, direct slope access, and open-air baths, we welcome guests with a blend of traditional Japanese design and modern furniture. We also offer two ultimate dining experiences: the all-day Italian restaurant 'HITO by TACUBO' and the authentic sukiyaki restaurant 'Sukiyaki Kappo Hiyama,' along with our Infinity Onsen overlooking the majestic Mount Yotei.

Furthermore, for two consecutive years, we have been awarded one Michelin Key in the Michelin Guide Hotel Selection, making us one of the few resorts in Niseko and Japan to receive this world-class honor twice. We continue to innovate in the realm of hospitality, opening doors to a new level of luxury.

In the same month, we were also selected for the 'Best of the Best 2026: Travel, Experiences & Hospitality' by Robb Report Hong Kong, solidifying our status as a premier luxury destination. We remain committed to providing high-quality services to all our guests.
