Mang Inasal founder and DoubleDragon Corp. chairman Edgar Injap Sia II and co-chairman Tony Tan Caktiong led the groundbreaking of the 1.17-hectare Hotel101-Niseko with Niseko Mayor Kenya Katayama and Kutchan Hokkaido Mayor Kazushi Monji on 26 August.

The upcoming development sits on a sprawling 1.17-hectare property in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, and is expected to be patronized by Japanese travelers and foreign tourists. The extension of the Shinkansen bullet train to Niseko and Sapporo will further improve access to the region which is also reportedly in the running to host the 2030 Winter Olympics.
Iwata Chizaki, Inc., one of the largest contractors in Japan and the same contractor who built the Chitose International Airport in Sapporo, Hokkaido Japan, will helm Hotel101-Niseko.
