the place
Powder, the volcano across the valley, and a chalet of your own.
Its slopes face Mount Yotei across the valley, and its resorts run in English: instructors, guides and ski schools. That is why we recommend it, with Hakuba and Myoko, for a ski journey in Japan.
We plan Niseko as a private ski journey, created around your party alone: a chalet with a private guide, an onsen at the end of the day, and Sapporo or the lakes of Hokkaido before or after. If you would rather travel independently, the Expert Japan Itinerary plans the days for you.
