リゾート情報
Niseko Hokkaido
Niseko is a mountainous region located in south-west Hokkaido, Japan’s northern most island. Its closest airport is Chitose, which is 2.5 hours away, and the nearest major city is Sapporo, which is a two-hour drive. Over recent years the area has become hugely popular, mainly because of its huge annual snowfall.
Niseko receives on average 14 meters of snow, most of which comes down as light, dry powder, which is considered ideal for skiing and snowboarding. It has won the “Best Resort in Asia” award at the World Ski Awards four years in a row, but many people would argue that it is also home to the best conditions for skiing and snowboarding in the world. In the summer when the mountaintops surrounding Niseko turn green, it’s time to ditch the skis and grab a bike or a sup! Niseko is just as wondrous in summer as it is in winter! There’s no better way to explore everything Niseko’s green season has to offer than by biking, supping and hiking.
Accomodation
Niseko has such a huge range of accommodation options, it’s sometimes hard to choose. Niseko offers four main types of accommodations; pensions, lodges, apartments, and hotels. Before choosing your accommodation, the first decision you’ll need to make is which resort you think you’ll spend the most time in. The largest accommodation is located in Hirafu, offering options to suit all budgets. To book your Niseko accommodation, you can do this through one of the following fantastic accommodation options, or simply book through one of our recommend travel partners.
Furano Hokkaido
Furano is a powder chasers dream thanks to exceptional snow quality, an extensive resort network and vast backcountry access. Located 2 hours from Sapporo in the heart of Hokkaido, this is a must visit destination for any winter traveler.
The Furano resort is split into two separate base areas, the Kitanomine and Furano zones. Both zones operate under the Furano lift ticket and intermediate skiers can ski between zones (weather permitting), however we recommend booking accommodation on the zone that best suits you.
The Kitanomine base area is extremely close to town facilities and nearby services include our store, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, train station and entertainment. In contrast the Furano base hosts larger accommodations that excel at providing all inclusive experiences.
Both the Kitanomine and Furano zones feature trails that cater to all ability levels, and on a powder day you will not be disappointed, no matter what side you wake up on!
Each winter Furano receives masses of light, dry powder, but what sets Furano apart is extremely cold temperatures that allow the fresh snow to stay light and dry even days after a storm. Combine this with an extensive resort network that features 23 unique trails, endless backcountry terrain and proximity to other resorts such as Kamui Ski links and Tomamu Ski Resort, it is easy to see why Furano is one of the fastest growing ski towns in Asia. With a well-rounded mix of Beginner (40%) Intermediate (40%) and Advanced (20%) terrain, Furano resort offers something for everyone.
Although early snowfalls sometimes occur, Mid-December through March is the snow season, with the best snow in late December, January and February.
Furano is located in Japan’s northern most island. Its closest airport is Chitose, which is two hours away and the nearest major city is Sapporo, which is also a two hour drive. There are extensive bus, train and road links to Furano that operate over the winter months

Catch the Narita Express train from the airport to Tokyo Central Station then ride the Nagano Shinkansen bullet train 90 minutes to Nagano before transferring to Hakuba on one of the regular bus services.
Although the biggest attraction in Hakuba is it’s skiing, after a few days on the slopes you’ll be feeling a little sore and stiff.

Aside from sipping sake by the fire, nearby Hakuba attractions offering sightseeing and an insight into Japan’s unique culture and ancient history, including architectural, natural and historical attractions as well as some fun hands-on attractions.

Accomodation
Hakuba accommodation typically leans towards more traditional Japanese style options compared to that of other ski destinations however western style chalets and apartments are also available and continue to be developed in the area. Most hotels feature traditional Japanese rooms and bathrooms which are much smaller compared to western standards. However rooms are clean and comfortable and are a cosy place to retire for the night after a full day skiing. If you really do prefer the style and space of western luxury you’ll need to be prepared to book early and pay accordingly as chalets and apartments are in high demand, however prices are comparable to other popular ski destinations around the world.
