Ultimate Guide to Niseko

This is an enjoyable day-long hiking course from early summer to the fall. Take a walk through the sublime landscape of Shinsen Marsh and then in the afternoon, head for Fukidashi Park, a holy ground of water at Mt. Yotei. You can also enjoy a farm lunch and sweets that are typically to be found in the dairy paradise of Hokkaido. Because there aren’t too many public transportation systems for touring Niseko, a rental car or a hired car is recommended.
