December, 10th 2020

Living in Japan and stuck in the cities for the coming up Christmas and New Year holiday season this year?
Turn this into a great opportunity to visit the places in Japan that you had in your mind but have been waiting for their turn.

Reasons? – there are many.

There are many good reasons why you should visit Niseko this year

Niseko is usually full already by Autumn
This season however, since the borders remain closed, there are still plenty of spaces available in accommodations, restaurants, and also, the slopes.
Huge discount on accommodations compared to usual years
The majority of accommodation is set more on the luxury side, which makes Niseko a place difficult to book for Japan domestic travelers. This season you will see a major discount being offered. This may be a rare chance to book an upscale winter chalet at a more affordable price.
Go to Travel Campaign
Furthermore, there is this ongoing campaign for Japan domestic travelers. Not only the base trip of transport and stay, you’ll save tremendously on the whole trip by using the Go to Travel regional coupons to enjoy winter activities, and even the lift tickets.

Why is Niseko so popular?

But wait, why has Niseko become so famous worldwide?
Niseko has been one of the top destinations for powder hounds for quite some years now, for its the rare combination of the abundant powdery snow and the mild weather. It slowly developed into a resort with such an international atmosphere with condos (some with onsen!) and restaurants, where other languages are heard more than Japanese. Nowhere else in Japan you’ll find a place like Niseko.
