KARUIZAWA, Japan -- Some people travel to experience the art of luxury. But newly opened boutique hotel Shishi-Iwa House, in the central Japanese mountain resort area of Karuizawa, puts a fresh spin on the concept by offering guests the luxury of experiencing both art and nature.
Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese master architect Shigeru Ban, the property was developed by Singapore-based HDH Capital Management and aims to offer what it calls "bespoke involvement" with great architecture and contemporary art surrounded by nature.
