Places to go Niseko and Rusutsu(New Chitose Airport)
One of the world's finest all-season resorts, where it's not all about skiing!
Niseko, located in the southwest of Sapporo, attracts skiers and snowboarders from all over the world with its fine powder snow. Not only is there a wide range of slopes available for everyone from beginners to advanced skiers/snowboarders, but there are numerous other activities like snowmobiling and snowshoeing. After your ski session, you will find a wealth of dining options, spanning casual restaurants to Michelin-starred ones. You can whisk away the fatigue of your voyage in the natural hot springs here. Niseko is famous as a snow resort, but in summer there are many other activities to make the most of nature with, such as golf, rafting, fishing, and hiking. Located southeast of Mount Yotei, the resorts in Rusutsu are only 1.5 hours away from Sapporo by car, making it one of the foremost resort areas alongside Niseko.
