Sapporo to Niseko: Private Day Trip

Niseko's global reputation rests on extraordinary snowfall, perfectly spaced birch trees, and powder conditions that attract enthusiasts from every continent. Begin your Niseko ski day at Grand Hirafu, the resort's largest and liveliest area, where the lifts access some of Japan's finest tree skiing. Spend your morning exploring the legendary birch glades between marked runs—the perfectly spaced trees and dry snow create magical skiing unlike anywhere else. Next, ascend to the summit for panoramic views of Mount Yotei, whose symmetrical cone mirrors Mount Fuji. Break for lunch back at the Base, where contemporary Japanese cuisine meets mountain dining. Try seafood curries and butadon, or Hokkaido pork bowls. Dedicate your afternoon to exploring sidecountry terrain if avalanche conditions permit (hire a guide for safety). Finish with drinks and food at The Barn by Odin, waiting for your driver to comeand transfer you safely back to Sapporo.
