Niseko ニセコ
World-renowned winter sports
To both Japanese and foreigners alike, Niseko means snow - and plenty of it! Feathery, light powder snow that lights up the eyes of winter sports enthusiasts, particularly skiers and snowboarders.
Three major resorts - Grand Hirafu, Niseko Village and Annupuri - join together to offer the Niseko All Mountain Pass, giving access to all three. They all differ though, so study your options before making a booking.
We suggest staying at Grand Hirafu, which has a sizable town at its base, Hirafu Town, that is packed with accommodation options and a full range of restaurants, bars and nightlife.
The winter season runs early December to early May.
