Enjoy the Charm of Niseko in the Summer

Summer in Hokkaido has become a classic recommendation for a summer destination. The region's relatively low humidity and dry heat make it a comfortable place to visit. The abundance of outdoor activities attracts many tourists each year. Niseko, in particular, is known for its summer offerings, including seasonal local produce, fresh fruit, and various other attractions.

This summer, Skye Niseko offers electric bicycle rentals, with options ranging from short two-hour rentals to full-day adventures. These electric bikes make it easy to navigate the hilly terrain of the Niseko area, located at the foot of the mountains. One of the joys of cycling is the freedom to stop and enjoy a shop or a beautiful view whenever you please. Experience a carefree cycling trip and feel the refreshing breeze of Mother Nature on your skin.

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.

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.
