📍【Must-Visit Attractions】
Niseko's powder snow is very comfortable, and the instructors are super attentive
🥘【Must-Eat Food】

🏠【Accommodation Recommendations】
1. MYSTAYS Sapporo Nakajima Park Hotel
If you don't like too much hustle and bustle, I don't recommend staying in Susukino. Personally, I think Susukino is similar to Ikebukuro/Shinjuku in Kanto, with lots of bunny girls and free information centers on the streets
📷【Photo Spots】
Otaru is really beautiful, but very slippery
📣【Tips】
Don't bring too many heat packs, you won't use them all, really 😂

It's so romantic to soak in a hot spring in Hokkaido in winter.
This Japanese-style hot spring hotel is located in a corner of Niseko Konbu Onsen♨️ at the foot of Mount Yotei in Niseko Town. Surrounded by forests🌲, you can hear the sound of the river flowing.
The warm wooden space captures the beauty of Japanese wabi-sabi and the comfort of a modern hotel. The trees cast shadows in front of the window, and the Japanese garden is simple and elegant.
The hotel has 24 guest rooms🏠 ranging from 52㎡ to 165㎡. Rooms with private hot springs allow you to enjoy natural hot springs in your room.
You can also soak in the outdoor hot spring, with an open-air bath♨️ "Meisen no Yu" and a private bath "Izumi no Yu". Enjoy the quiet and beautiful forest scenery while soaking in the hot spring. It's so romantic to soak in a hot spring in the heavy snow❄️.
Fresh air, sweet spring water, and fertile soil produce delicious ingredients. The hotel offers kaiseki cuisine based on "harmony" and carefully prepared with seasonal ingredients to give guests a taste of the season.

🧊 Here, Niseko is a small town located in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. And let me tell you... 3 months of the year, December, January, February, are the peak season here. You should book your accommodation, food, and attractions in advance. It is the most crowded and most expensive.

🏂 With unique shop buildings, beautiful lighting at night, and a large number of tourists, the atmosphere is great, making this place fun. Vibes is 10/10.

Snow in Niseko, Japan in February
Snow in Niseko, Japan in February
For those who are preparing to find cool weather and fluffy snow during this New Year, try Niseko in Japan. This place is very famous for its soft and fluffy snow. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with snow for a long time. Every morning, you will see piles of snow all over the city...
Niseko is actually a paradise for skiers. Both beginners and experienced skiers will definitely want to come ski in Niseko. Because in addition to the soft snow that is like cotton, the view here is also very beautiful. We will take a ski lift to the top and see the view of the sharp and beautiful mountain. It is called Little Fuji. It sounds very cute.
It is very easy to get there. Take a plane to Sapporo and buy a bus ticket at the airport. Take the long way to Niseko. The bus ride is only about 2-3 hours. The view along the way is beautiful. The view on both sides of the road shows both rivers and mountains alternately. It is so awesome...
In February, the atmosphere and feeling will be like this. It is beautiful. It is fun to play in the snow. I am learning to play snowboard. I tried it and liked it. It is not as scary as I thought. If you want to try skiing or snowboarding, Niseko is the perfect place to go.

Niseko Ranch, a ranch near Sapporo with a great atmosphere
#JapanTravel #Niseko #HokkaidoTravel
📍Japan, Hokkaido Niseko Ranch
Reasons to travel near Sapporo, travel in the countryside 🍦
⠀
The charm of traveling in Japan can be felt even in small cities!
Hokkaido (#Hokkaido) is also famous for its dairy products,
and each ranch has its own
yogurt, yogurt, ice cream, and other desserts
so you can taste cheap and fresh desserts🌿
⠀
The Niseko Ranch I visited
is about a 2-hour drive from Sapporo,
and you can see Mt. Yotei, which is called Hokkaido's Mt. Fuji.
The weather was bad, so I couldn't see the top of the mountain,
but it was nice just for the countryside feeling‼️
I thought Sapporo and Hokkaido were winter,
but Hokkaido in summer is also so nice!

Build snowman and see snow in march here
If you happen to visit Sapporo and want to see snow in March do visit Mt Moiwa.
It has an observatory area where you can visit, build snowman and also see the night landscape of Sapporo late at night.
recommended to spend about 2 hours here and come around 1730. There may be a queue to enter so do budget for it as well.
Have fun.

Niseko - The snowiest place on Earth!
Niseko is the most famous ski resort in Japan and perhaps the world, known for having light powder snow. The winter alpine scenery is definitely breathtaking to say the least.
It is 2.5hrs drive from Chitose Airport. It comprises 4 interlinked ski resorts – Grand Hirafu, Hanazono, Niseko Village and An’nupuri – renowned for its consistency and quality of powder snow throughout the winter making it a perfect place to ski. Averaging around 15m+ of snow each season, it’s a serious contender for snowiest place in the world. I have not visited any snowier place than Niseko and this was corroborated by my ski instructor from the UK who was previously based in Austria.
Hinode Hills located within Niseko Village is a five star apartment hotel which offers spacious living and sleeping area with each room having floor to ceiling windows overlooking the mountains. Transportation is easy and convenient as the hotels within Niseko Village offer free scheduled bus to all guests.

The Truth
The Truth About Moiwa.
Having skied about a dozen Hokkaido ski-fields, I can tell you Moiwa rocks!
Whilst it's small, we love it because it offers awesome off-piste (within the resort on the shirakaba slope) that will truly satisfy those experimenting with powder skiing (plus groomers for beginners/intermediates)
For the more adventurous, you can boot (or skate) out gate 6 (or 10) to access some great side-country that feeds back into the quad lift.
For the even more adventurous, gate 6 also takes you over the back if you're happy to skin and earn your turns.
Please make sure you have avo gear - beacon, shovel and probe mandatory.
The crowds are much smaller than the major Niseko resorts and the restaurant to the bottom of the hill offers very good quality food at reasonable prices. Hope you enjoy it. #tripblazers #awesomepic

Stay at Hilton Niseko in summer and experience a different Niseko
#JapanHotel #JapanTravel #JapanHotel #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTravel #HokkaidoHotel
Everyone knows that Niseko is a ski resort, but do you know that traveling to Niseko in summer can also be exciting👏👏👏
Hilton Niseko Hotel is a well-known luxury hotel in the area. It is adjacent to the ski resort, which is very convenient for friends who love skiing. Generally speaking, most people come to the hotel by renting a car and driving themselves. There are relatively sufficient parking spaces.
There are many advantages to coming in summer. First, hotel prices are more than half cheaper than in winter. This time, the room rate was only around HKD 900, which was quite cost-effective. In summer, there is a large green area outside the hotel for guests to enjoy. It is really refreshing to ride a bicycle, take a hot air balloon in the morning, and look down at the beautiful natural scenery nearby. The breakfast is very delicious and the choices are quite rich. 👍Anyway, you can spend a few days relaxing in the hotel without having to worry about having nothing to do. I wonder if Hilton Niseko will be one of your choices for your next summer trip?☺️☺️☺️
Overall personal experience rating 4.6/5⭐

#Hokkaido Niseko Hotel|Hotel with a beautiful view next to the ski resort
Niseko is a famous ski resort, but we came here in the summer mainly to take pictures. So we chose the highest hotel in Hirafu, Kosan Hotel, and we could take pictures of Mt. Yotei in the parking lot next to the hotel.
Keshan Hotel is directly connected to the ski resort, so you can imagine it must be very convenient for skiing! It was already late when we arrived, so we had dinner at the hotel. The food was of high quality.
Because there was no baby bed, the hotel helped us upgrade to a room with a tatami, so that we could put our sister Yan to sleep on the tatami. Amenity's supplies are from KOSE ~ I feel very confident using them!
As for breakfast, the buffet table has super fresh scallops, salmon, tuna, squid sashimi... Also, you can't miss the Hokkaido milk, it's really delicious!

Niseko Annupuri Kokusai Ski Area, Hokkaido , Japan
Impressive amount of snow. There are many ski resorts in Niseko. I stopped at Abuta because that’s where the public bus stopped .
Took a ride from Sapporo station -Hakodate Line Local towards Otaru - stop at Otaru Station
Hakodate Line Local towards Kutchan- Kutchan station
followed by Hakodate Line Local towards Rankoshi to Niseko station . Take pictures and then wait for local bus to Niseko Annupuri. Make sure you have a JR pass to do this.
As I am doing a day trip , I don’t mind the multiple stops. as the train rides itself is already considered a good journey .

[Hokkaido] A thrilling feeding experience!
At the Ostrich Farm in Niseko, Hokkaido, you can experience feeding the ostriches for 100 yen.
Contrary to their cute appearance, they have incredible momentum.
It hurts at first because they peck your palm with all their might, but you gradually grow attached to the ostriches as they chase the food.
There is a feeding box, so even those who are afraid of handing the ostriches directly can participate in the ostrich feeding experience with peace of mind.

The only Hilton hotel in Japan with direct access to a ski resort!
I've posted a photo of the view from the Deluxe Panorama Room at Hilton Niseko Village!
This is a rare room with only one on each floor, and it's the only room in the hotel that overlooks the slopes.
By the way, this hotel was originally operated as Higashiyama Prince Hotel!
It was part of the Prince Hotel Group!

Hotel stay with a view of the slopes
We stayed at the only Hilton hotel in Hokkaido, Hilton Niseko Village!
It takes 1.5 hours by plane from Haneda Airport to New Chitose Airport.
From there, it takes more than 2 hours by bus from New Chitose Airport, but this hotel will make the best memories!
The room in the photo is a Twin Deluxe Panorama Room, with a separate bath and toilet!

If you're traveling alone, we recommend the pod-style "Torifeto Hotel Niseko"
This is the hotel where I stayed for a while during my business trip to Niseko. Many lodge-style accommodations with good value for money are capsule-type, but this one is a pod-type with plenty of space. It's cheap, has a large public bath, and is a great deal. And what's more, there's a supermarket next door, which is super convenient... It's in the city, so it's a little far from the leisure spots, but the parking lot is spacious, so if you're coming to Niseko by car, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Konbu Onsen Tsuruga Besso Moku no Sho Room Lobby Edition
One of the charms of Moku no Sho is the open-air bath in the room!
You can enjoy a relaxing bath without having to come into contact with other people.
The bed was comfortable and I slept soundly...I only thought I'd take a quick nap, but...I ended up sleeping soundly.
There was also a lot of embroidered Ainu patterns throughout the building, creating a wonderful space.

Ainu culture and a luxurious time
Konbu Onsen Tsuruga Besso Moku no Sho is an inn with a lot of Ainu-like Hokkaido charm, with furnishings decorated with Ainu patterns throughout the building.
The room had an open-air bath, so I was able to relax and enjoy the bath without meeting anyone.
I was also able to enjoy dinner and breakfast at my own pace in a private room.
It was a really nice inn, and I'd like to go back again.

I went to Konbu Onsen Tsuruga Besso Moku no Sho in Niseko!
The inside of the building was lovely in many ways, but the food was delicious!
Hokkaido ingredients were used generously, and every dish was beautiful and delicious, and it was a happy time.
The abalone dish was a special dish not on the menu, a surprise from someone who gave me a trip as a gift.
I was also too full from breakfast.

Niseko forest lunch picnic
Located in the middle of the forest in Niseko Town, Abuta District, Hokkaido, we went to Forest Lunch Picnic with six family members!
You can enjoy a menu using colorful seasonal vegetables. There is also a terrace outside, so you can enjoy the outside air without worrying about COVID.
It is located at the foot of Mt. Yotei, so why not enjoy a delicious meal after hiking? 😋
The autumn leaves are at their peak, so we recommend having tea time outside! !
