Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Niseko from New Chitose Airport?

Take a direct ski bus from New Chitose Airport (about 2.5-3 hours, reservations recommended). Alternatively, take JR to Kutchan Station then a local bus. Many hotels offer shuttle services.

What makes Niseko's powder snow special?

Niseko receives 14-18 meters of snowfall annually. Cold Siberian winds pick up moisture over the Sea of Japan and deposit light, dry 'champagne powder' on the mountains—some of the driest snow in the world.

Is Niseko good for beginners?

Yes! Each of the four resorts has beginner areas with English-speaking ski schools. Grand Hirafu and Annupuri have particularly good learning terrain. Many instructors speak English, making lessons easy for international visitors.
