    of Niseko.

    Ski days & snowy views

    02 / GREEN SEASON

    Rivers, trails & fresh air

    Go rafting on the Shiribetsu River, take a guided cycling trip or choose a seasonal gondola ride. Forest walks and open countryside offer a gentler way to spend the day, with time for a café stop along the way.

    Explore seasonal activities ↗

    Mountain scenery

    Mount Yotei views

    Niseko’s distinctive backdrop is a highlight in every season. Ask for scenic stops around the foothills when the weather is clear, with time to enjoy the views and take photographs.

    A peaceful nature stop

    Fukidashi Park

    Visit neighbouring Kyogoku for clear spring water and a peaceful park at the foot of Mount Yotei. It makes a lovely pause on a countryside drive, with stops adjusted to the weather and walking conditions.

    Explore Fukidashi Park ↗

    Summer & autumn

    Shinsennuma Marsh

    Follow the boardwalk through highland wetlands, where still water and seasonal plants make a memorable change of pace. This is a seasonal excursion: winter road closures affect access.

    A taste of Niseko

    Milk Kobo & a relaxing soak

    Stop at Niseko Takahashi Farm’s Milk Kobo for dairy sweets such as cream puffs. Later, consider a local onsen for a relaxing end to the day; opening hours and day-use access vary by facility.
