The story...

La Neige Higashikan is a piece of art by itself. Many of the hotel's details, the exterior and the interior are direct references to Frank Lloyd Wright. The rounded archways over doors, the intricate brickwork and even the details in many of the handmade furnishings are almost exact replicas. However, La Neige is unique in its own right too, and it has its own atmosphere. Located in the ski resort village of Hakuba in Nagano, Japan, La Neige's surrounding are every bit as beautiful as its interiors and its guest suites.

We really wanted to capture the feel of this grand hotel and so we went to work using our very own plus360i Virtual Tour imaging. Immersive photography is great, but we've taken that a step further and from the 360 degree panoramas we've created this teaser video to show off some of La Neige's features.

Of course, no video is complete without great sound, and the music here is completely original and produced by our very own m2audioworks. This piano and orchestra type piece is at first simple, but upon repeated listening you can start to hear the layers of complexity just below the surface. Its warm and inviting, subtle and comforting.

We sincerely hope you'll enjoy the experience.
