If you've gone skiing in Japan's premiere ski resort in Niseko, you may have wondered what the area looks like when it isn't blanketed by the seasons' thick layers of powder snow. Niseko Powder Connection, the resort's longest running tour company, runs summer tours of the area's many off-season attractions at affordable prices. Skiiers familiar with the 15 metres of snow dumped over Niseko each winter will be stunned by the greenery and blankets of wildflowers, and appreciative of the abundance of local summer produce and local trout that will be harvested to fill the freezers and tables of the restaurants tourists love to frequent. The cold winter average of -8 degrees Celsius rises to a balmy 25 degrees in the height of summer, rendering sightseeing delightfully comfortable. Hanazono's walking and hiking tours take summer tourists into the foothills of Mt. Yotei and up to witness the natural beauty at the banks of Lake Kagaminuma. The Niseko mountain range showcases a variety of alpine flora and fauna. Those interested in seeing more of Hokkaido can take day trips out to see the onsens of Noboribetsu, the scenic canals of Otaru, Lake Toya, and of course Sapporo, the fifth-largest city in Japan.
Things To Do In Niseko
If sight-seeing doesn't interest you, there are plenty of activities to fill your time, and Niseko Powder Connections can smooth your path to each with bilingual service, guides and lessons. Take lessons to learn how to kayak in sea kayaks, or shoot the rapids in a 'ducky' inflatable kayak. Get closer to the trout on a rafting trip down the Shiribetsu river--come earlier in the season for a thrilling white-water experience, or later in the summer for a more sedate and family friendly ride. If you prefer a whole-body experience, you might enjoy canyoning--swimming, sliding, and exploring the waterways and river formations in a wetsuit. If you miss the feeling of a snowboard under your feet, you can try wake boarding at the new Hanazono Wake Park, designed to appeal to experienced wake boarders and beginners alike. Winter tourists will already be familiar with the traditional onsen hot springs, which are no less appealing after a day in the cool melt-off river waters than they are after a long day skiing or snowboarding!
Out Of The Water
Out of the water there is still plenty to do in Niseko in the summer. Hanazono boasts a championship 18 hole golf course within view of the stunning scenery of Mt. Yotei. The NosekoTokyu Golf Course is a 7,003 yard, par 72 course drawing golfers of every level from around the area. Or take advantage of the rental options at the Hanazono Bike Park, where you can explore the professionally-designed, International level competetive quality course. Recreate your best tricks or try some new ones without risk on the multi-chambered Bag Jump. Children and adults alike will appreciate the 230 metre and 200 metre zip lines that pass over the Bag Jump and the Hanazono basin. Families might also want to bring their children to try waterless tubing--tubing on frictionless mats and a specially designed course. No swimwear or change of clothes needed! Usually so deep in snow, several months a year
