Besides famous cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, the northernmost prefecture of Japan known as Hokkaido is a top tourist attraction, especially for those who enjoy the chilly winter season and sports. It is known for its volcanoes, natural hot springs and ski areas. There are many renowned ski resorts in Sapporo and around Hokkaido, but Niseko is one of the most popular ones.
Niseko is a resort town in western Hokkaido and is famous for its multiple ski resorts that attract visitors from all over the world. The area is known as a snow mecca of the world, and snow here is unlike anywhere else as it is a very dry and fluffy white colour. On average, there is about 15m of snowfall every year. This is because from November to March, the snow barely stops falling in Niseko, so expect to ski day after day on fresh tracks in some of the lightest powder on the planet.
