All roads lead to Niseko!

Three major roads to Niseko will be officially reopened from as early as the 24th of this month!

Temporarily closed for the winter, many sections of the three routes are renowned for their stunning panoramas of the Hokkaido landscape; boasting views of the Annupuri mountain range, the Sea of Japan, the verdant wetlands of Shinsen Numa, and of course, the imposing and ever-impressive figure of Mt. Yotei.

With the April melt come warmer temperatures, blue skies, and a dazzling palette of flora and fauna bound to make you stop and wonder where Hokkaido’s white winter paradise went!

So whether you are just looking to lose yourself in some new surroundings, are excited to take advantage of some seasonally-exclusive access, or simply want to get the dust off your summer tires; fill up your gas tanks, clean the rust off your bike chains, and prepare yourselves for some of the most scenic and panoramic rides Hokkaido has to offer.
