Happy New Year from Experience Niseko

01 January, 2019 Victoria Yap

Celebrating 2019 in Niseko.

Niseko's blend of new and old traditions and of course, the world's best snow, makes it a special place to bring in the new calendar year. Watch the video below to see how Niseko welcomed 2019 with the 43rd Torchlight Skiing Event and fireworks on the slopes of Niseko Grand Hirafu.  

Following on from watching the amazing torchlight skiing and firework displays many headed to Yamada Shrine for the first shrine visit of the year or continued the night at the numerous lively bars in Hirafu Village.
