Spring skiing in a cheerful atmosphere

Four seasons to encounter in Niseko in spring.

Cherry Blossom Spring Late spring in the north blooms against the backdrop of Mt.

Around the time of Golden Week, the cherry blossoms are at their best in the Niseko area. Yotei, the cherry blossoms are different in scale and serenity from the cherry blossom viewing in Honshu. The cherry blossoms are a different kind of cherry blossom viewing experience from those in the mainland Japan, and the cherry blossom season is a time to enjoy spring in the great outdoors without the crowds.

The season when cherry blossoms are beautiful

The fresh green of summer, the life force of Hokkaido, sprouting all at once.

This is the season when the trees awaken from their long winter's sleep and begin to spread their leaves all at once. The fresh green of Hokkaido stands out for its freshness and strength because it blooms later than in Honshu. Niseko's rivers, swollen by the melting snow, become raging rapids where rafters can enjoy thrilling whitewater rafting. Green season activities such as cycling and trekking are also starting one after another.

Autumn in spring foliage, a springtime tradition in the northern part of Japan

Niseko in springtime offers a hidden, yet little-known, spectacular view. In the moment when the deciduous pine trees begin to sprout new leaves, the mountain slopes turn a golden color, similar to the autumnal hues of the leaves in fall. This is the only time of year when you can see the "spring foliage.

While the cherry blossoms are blooming in the valley, snow still remains on the top of Mt. The contrast between the white peak and the well-proportioned silhouette of the mountain, aptly named "Ezo Fuji," is one of Niseko's most iconic springtime landscapes.

Skiing in the morning, rafting in the afternoon.

A unique way to spend spring in Niseko is to enjoy winter and summer activities on the same day. In the morning, enjoy spring skiing on the slopes, and in the afternoon, go rafting down the rapids as the snow melts. This combination of activities can only be done in one day during this time of the year when the seasons intersect.

Accommodation fees are also much more reasonable than during peak season.

Compared to the high season in winter, accommodation fees are lower. This is the only time of the year when the seasons intersect.

Onsen (hot springs) are exceptionally pleasant during this season.

The Niseko Onsen Hot Spring Resort is a great place to relax after a hard day's work. There are about 15 hot spring facilities scattered throughout the area, including the hidden "Goshiki Onsen" and the famous "Kombu Onsen" which is famous for its beautiful skin. The open-air baths with a view of the lingering snow in the mountains is a luxury that only spring can offer.

Freshly Picked Asparagus, the Blessing of the Season

Freshly picked asparagus is an essential part of Niseko's spring menu. Freshly picked asparagus is a must-have on Niseko's spring table, and the freshness of the morning vegetables sold at Niseko View Plaza Roadside Station and other direct sales outlets is exceptional. During this time of year, when the busy winter season has settled down, popular local restaurants and cafes can be enjoyed without crowds.
