Kishida made the long-awaited announcement during his visit to New York for the U.N. General Assembly
Niseko ski resort rolls out over the spectacular mountains of Hokkaido, Japans northern most island and its intoxicating powder paradise is one of the best snow holiday destinations in Japan. With 4 interconnected ski areas there is an unimaginable myriad of enthralling terrain for all. Needing only one lift pass, visitors can put down tracks on some of the world’s best fresh daily pow. The snow in this part of the world is berserk with annual falls of over 15 metres.
Across the four resorts of Hirafu, Hanazono, Niseko Village and Annupuri there’s endless skiing and boarding for newbies through to the seasoned powder hounds. Niseko Village is ideal for families and novice with a cruisier pace, progressive trails and magic carpets. Those seeking high octane riding will find the off-piste and backcountry the stuff of dreams. Step it up a notch and take a guided adventure to the summit of Mt Yotei for a mind-blowing snow rush into the volcanic crater bowl. When the weather is favourable, night skiing and boarding is available until 9pm and then it’s off to the Onsen! Self-contained accommodation, townhouses or motels cater for all and an energetic nightlife with amazing food on every corner makes for a perfect end to a brilliant day. It’s easy to see why Niseko is arguably the number one resort in Japan.
