Top 5 things to do in Niseko this Winter

1 - Ski in some of the most beautiful tree-zones, back country and largest terrain parks in Hokkaido

Niseko receives the best powder in the world which means you have got loads of options for accessing side and backcountry. The Strawberry Fields is a popular and playful Hanazono tree line for intermediate to advanced skiers.
The snow park consists of the Hanazono Main Park (Intermediate - Advanced), the Jib Park (Beginner - Intermediate) and the Hana2 Mini Park (Beginner). The park stays diverse through out the season due to the consistent snow fall, this means the layout with be constantly changing.
