Niseko Real Estate & Property

Every year the sighting of the first snow on Mt Youtei, the supposedly dormant stratovolcano that dominates Niseko’s landscape, causes feelings of anticipation, of untouched freshies to be tracked, of endless pow… It also reminds the local accommodation providers, guest service companies, rental shops, bars, and restaurants and such that they better have their sh*t sorted, because a wave of skiers and boarders, tsunamic in magnitude, is about to descend upon Niseko…

NisekoProperty.net’s educated guess of an October 15th snow sighting turned out to be too conservative. On the morning of the 10th day of the 10th month, the clouds that often shroud majestic Makkarinupuri (the Ainu name for Mt. Youtei), gave way to reveal a light dusting of crystal white. It is only a matter of time before snow descends on Niseko, marking the beginning of another crazy season.

The POW Gods are smiling this year. We’ll see you on the slopes!
