An Dining occupies most of the ground floor of Ki Niseko, a resort hotel recessed from the main road that winds between Mount Annapuri and Mount Yotei, a conical stratovolcano that recalls Mount Fuji. While An Dining serves breakfast and lunch, and features a bar, it really comes into its own at night, when the lighting is formal but friendly — classy without being stark.
