Why Niseko?
Located on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, Niseko has become famous for receiving an average annual snowfall of 14 metres of the lightest, driest powder snow in the world.
Based on this, Niseko has flourished in recent years as more and more international guests come to Japan to join Japanese skiers and snowboarders in this winter paradise.
Niseko is not purely a winter resort, however, and summer also sees the village fill with people who come here for hiking, rafting, mountain biking and the world class golf courses.
