Trekking and Hiking
Yotei is surrounded by five towns and villages: Kutchan Town, Niseko Town, Kyogoku Town, Kimobetsu Town, and Makari Village. This area, rich in nature, is a treasure trove of trekking spots. Mt. Yotei, also known as ‘Ezo Fuji,’ boasts a beautiful conical silhouette resembling that of Mt. Fuji. The mountain offers different perspectives from each town and village, providing varied views and trekking experiences. Besides Mt. Yotei, there are other trails such as Iwaonupuri, Mt. Shirakaba, and Mt. Rhododendron, which are accessible and enjoyable for both parents and children. For those preferring a more leisurely stroll, Shinsen-numa features a series of boardwalks and easy walking trails, perfect for a casual outing.
Golf
The Niseko area boasts several well-maintained golf courses, each set in lush green surroundings, making them popular with experienced golfers. Niseko's cooler climate in the Summer compared to other regions in Japan makes it a golfer's paradise.

Outdoor Summer Activities
Rafting / SUP
Rafting is one of the premier summer activities in Niseko. The exhilarating courses down the Shiribetsu River, renowned for its cleanliness and voted the clearest river in Japan, are perfect for a summer adventure. Additionally, River SUP (Stand-Up Paddleboarding) has become increasingly popular in recent years. Paddling along the gentle Shiribetsu River on a large, buoyant board feels like walking on water, making it accessible and enjoyable even for first-timers.
