Vacation at Niseko

Click Niseko to know more about this place.

This year, we travelled to Japan from 17 - 24 Dec for a family skiing trip. I didn't ski so I sketched the view from our AYA Niseko Villa at Niseko Hirafu. Outdoor temperature was around -3 degC but inside the 3-storey villa it was very comfortable.

Niseko is best known for receiving the world's best powder snow throughout winter, and as a relaxed outdoor lifestyle destination during the summer months. Niseko is located on Japan's northern island prefecture of Hokkaido, about 3 hours drive away from New Chitose Airport.

There are four skiig resorts in Niseko namely:
Niseko Hanazono Resort
Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU
Niseko Village Ski Resort and
Niseko Annupuri International Ski Area

A huge living and dining space on the top floor, private onsen, balcony, and 4 large bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, combine to provide Niseko's ultimate on snow living experience. Metres away from the ski lifts, minutes away from Niseko's finest restaurants, bars and shops.
