Niseko

For many, one of Hokkaido’s biggest attractions is its high-quality powder snow. Skiers and snowboarders from around the world are drawn in by Hokkaido’s powder snow which, characterized by its low water contents, is ideal for snow sports. One of Japan’s leading ski areas, Niseko is the dream destination for ski and snowboard enthusiasts. With top-quality powder snow falling on nearly a daily basis, skiers and snowboarders will have no trouble getting their fill of powder snow here, as they make new tracks in the freshly fallen snow. Outside of the ski season, there is a vast array of outdoor activities available in Niseko, such as rafting, golf, and hiking.
