Niseko

The Shiribetsu River defines the setting of Niseko — it runs through a farming district between the volcanic slopes of Niseko Annupuri and Mount Yotei in southwestern Hokkaido. The town forms part of the wider Niseko area, where abundant winter snowfall has fostered an international ski culture around the Annupuri range. In summer, attention turns to farmland, cycling and river activities, while Mount Yotei’s broad volcanic cone remains a defining presence across the basin. Niseko’s name comes from the Ainu expression niseko an nupuri, commonly understood as “a mountain with a sheer cliff,” reflecting Hokkaido’s Indigenous linguistic heritage.
