Niseko’s Autumn (Fall) in Flying Colours

Niseko — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 11:55:14 +0000

Niseko’s autumn signal the end of the alpine summer and the onset of the powder snow.

Flying in from Hong Kong and the change of season is just sensational. The oranges, reds and deep greens of the Japanese alpine wilderness, the crisp forest smells and daily change of the surrounding National Forest foliage is just so unique to Niseko.

It’s hard to image such wilderness is only a short flight from the Hong Kong environs. Niseko property owners have been in town reveling in the alpine colors - they only happen for a short period, sometimes only two weeks, and change timing and intensity depending on the year.

Coastal Niseko: The Shakotan Area

Niseko — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 13:21:58 +0000

Little do many of the winter ski revelers know that Niseko is only a 45 minutes drive to the coast Being on a small island, you have two coasts to choose from, the Sea of Japan or Pacfic Ocean.

Both areas are beautiful in their unique rugged way. The Japanese coastline is a sight for any visitor - vertical cliffs, unbelievably deep forest greens and super clear water.

On the Sea of Japan side, the fishing is unbelievable. A key spot is Shakotan, about 1.5hrs drive from Niseko. The bed and breakfast (a Ryokan called Uni-Ya) there is owned by a local fisherman who serves up the best sushi I would say in all of Hokkaido. Fish are caught at 6am and on your plate by lunch - the ultimate in fresh sushi.

Many current Niseko property owners are making their way up in summer to experience the green side of Niseko and its surrounding areas.
