Other Activities

Niseko is the perfect place to experience Japan's hospitality and incredible cultural delights. Besides being home to a world class ski resort, Niseko has plenty of other activities that will keep you enthralled. Whether it's shopping, snowshoeing or snow rafting, you'll never run out of things to do.

You can access a number of other ski resorts nearby - bus or car. You will need to purchase a Day Pass but these are relatively inexpensive.

Rusutsu is about 40 minute drive from Niseko. The Resort and lift network is spread over three mountains - East, West and Mt Isola. Beautifully groomed wide runs and truckloads of back country - and even less crowded than Niseko if that ís possible. Also has night skiing until 8.00pm (Daily Bus Tours available)

Moiwa is a backcountry skiers paradise. Only 15 minutes drive from Hirafu, and it always seems like you've got the place to yourself.

Weisshorn Niseko is about 15 minutes away. This is a relatively small resort that offers Snowcat Skiing.
