Outdoor Experience

Niseko is full of outdoor activities, no matter the season. There are any number of ways to enjoy the area, like gazing at Mt. Yotei while rafting down the Shiribetsu River, riding the hilly landscape on a mountain bike, or taking in the scenery from a hot air balloon. Reservations up to the day before required.

  1. 1Rafting
    Rafting on the Shiribetsu River, flowing through the center of the Niseko area, is popular. Any outdoor office will have experienced guides, so even beginners and families can relax and enjoy the ride. In April-May, when snow melt fills the river, the current grows wild and the ride becomes that much more thrilling! Getting drenched by the spray is all part of the fun!
