4 Reasons to Visit Niseko Hirafu Japan

Snow

Snow and lots of is the catalyst for Niseko being thrown into the international spotlight for skiers and snowboarders chasing that perfect powder line. With loads of cold, dry snow being dumped in Niseko every year Niseko now attracts some of the best ski and snowboard athletes in the world to experience the Niseko difference. Now with Niseko being featured in ski and snowboard videos and magazines the future of Niseko is unknown, but is now being shaped by the Niseko Promotion Board.

Onsens

Niseko is not only very popular with snow lovers, but also with Onsen lovers from all around Japan. Soaking in naturally warmed mineral pool while snow is building up around you and your body is becoming refreshed after a day of skiing, snowboarding or hiking around Niseko. There are plenty of Onsens in the Niseko area to try out, each of them offering something different, from mud, crystal clear mountain water, high in mineral, indoor, outdoor and with stunning views. The perfect end to any day!

Cuisine

Attracting snow lovers from around the globe has also attracted different cuisines from every corner of the globe. However, traditional Japanese cuisine is also some of the best that can be found in Japan. With rich farm lands producing fresh produce and in close proximity to Otaru (just outside of Sapporo) a fishing port that delivers seafood that people from all over Japan will travel to experience, the dining options in Niseko are amazing!

Summer

Summer in Niseko is the hidden gem! As the snow melts the majority of snow lovers move on to the next destination. But for those that stay are exposed to a side of Niseko that is loved by all locals. With beautiful mountain scenery, clean country air and lush green surroundings, Niseko becomes a fantastic destination for the outdoor lover. Activities include, whitewater rafting, cycling, mountain biking (downhill and Cross Country), golf and hiking!

Hope to see you in Niseko Hirafu Japan soon!

where can i find this snowboarding video? City, Park City.

ok so its been a 2 year struggle for me trying to hunt down any digital or hard copy of this video. it was a video produced and directed by Jim Mangan and put in the December edition of Future Snowboarding Magazine. i have e mailed FSM many times without any clear response from them and from what i hear now their closing! so if anyone has this video, knows where i can purchase it(which is unlikely) or where i can view this in ANY way i would forever be in debt. and i would for ever be in debt to you.i saw the video one time (a friends copy that was stolen) and would almost die to see it one more time….

EBAY, YOUTUBE.
