Niseko is going off right now! Over a foot and a half of snow has fallen this month and the quality is superb. The days ahead are looking good too with light snowfalls on the forecast until at least Tuesday next week.
Hakuba’s epic season is also set to continue with consistent light snow falling over the coming days. So just because spring has rolled around doesn’t mean skiers and snowboarder won’t get to enjoy plenty of Japan’s famous powder!
Here’s a few more reasons why March is one of the best times for skiing in Japan…
