Tucked away in the mountains of Hokkaido, Niseko is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts. Spend your days skiing and snowboarding on pristine slopes, and when you need a break, warm up in one of the region's luxurious onsens. Niseko is a must-visit destination for those who crave adrenaline-pumping fun in a snowy wonderland.
The easiest way to get around in Niseko is by car, but most major sights and attractions are accessible by a combination of trains and busses. Though, travelers will have to rely on single tickets or a prepaid card, since no special train or bus passes are provided within this area.
