If you have ever visited Niseko the first thing you will usually remember is the snow!  The skiing is incredible but did you ever wonder where all the snow goes?

Niseko, Japan's premier winter resort destination, is set to welcome 2025 with not only more powder than you can shake a pole at but also a spectacular array of festivities.

Ace 2 Quad / Center Four, one of Hirafu's original and most iconic chairlifts has been retired and will soon be replaced by a brand new 12 seat gondola.

Over the last couple of years the Hanazono area in Niseko has undergone some big changes. First the park Hyatt has built an impressive hotel at the base which features ten lounges, bars and restaurants, including French cuisine, sushi, robata, teppan, Italian and Chinese.

Ever wondered who takes those incredible photos and videos of Niseko that make you want to drop everything and start planning your next trip here ? More often than not they are from groups of sponsored skiiers and snowboarders that spend days upon days in the back country, working hard to get the shot. Holiday Niseko recently hosted such a group from Atomic that managed to get some incredible photos and video during their time with us.
