Niseko is the powder capital of Japan - the most famous and popular of all of the Japanese ski resorts.
Our Niseko Maps are a fantastic tool to visualise the Niseko area and become familiar with all that it has to offer.
Whether you want to know which accommodations are well located for accessing the ski lifts, where the restaurants and bars are or which village is best for a soak in an onsen, our maps have you covered.
The most common cause of confusion when planning a trip to Niseko is the similar-sounding names of the ski areas and villages. What is the difference between Niseko Village and Niseko Town? What is Niseko United? Is Hirafu the same as Grand Hirafu?
We have created the following guide with a series of maps to help clarify these questions and provide a helping hand in planning your trip.
