Whether set outdoors amidst the mountains or located in a zen sanctuary, Hokkaido’s abundant hot springs present an opportunity for everyone to experience one of Japan’s most time-honoured rituals.
Culture
Then of course, there is the nation's centuries-old heritage. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of villas in Niseko's numerous Shinto shrines such as the Kaributo-jinja. Or lose yourself in one of the many vibrant festivals held over the Summer in Niseko such as the Kutchan Jaga Matsuri or potato festival where ancient Japanese Taiko drum performances vie with the traditional Awa folk dance in a riot of sound and colour, under a blanket of mesmerising fireworks.
