deep powder snow and a long ski season. Niseko Guide.
Niseko (ニセコ町; -chou) is a town and ski resort
located in Abuta District, Shiribeshi,
Hokkaido, Japan. Niseko is
widely regarded as the best ski resort in Japan for three main
reasons: weather, size and infrastructure. Niseko is particularly
popular with Australian skiers who can ski in their off season.

Niseko Snow - Where the best deep powder comes from.
Thanks to its northern location Niseko is fed by weather
streams that come from Siberia rather than from Eastern
Japan, the resort is blessed with a
consistently high and light snowfall producing impressive amounts of powder.

Niseko ski facilities cater to the English language market
with bilingual signs making life very easy for first time visitors to Japan.

In terms of size, Niseko is actually four resorts in one: Niseko Moiwa, Niseko Annapuri, Niseko Higashiyama
and Niseko Hirafu.
There are several ways to get to Niseko from overseas and
going via Tokyo is not normally the best.
