MY Ecolodge x Air Asia cultural collaboration – Super savings on summer stays

MY Ecolodge and AirAsia X have come together to launch the ‘Niseko Super Summer Saver’ initiative, which will provide Malaysians with a chance to enjoy the dazzling summer beauty of Niseko, Hokkaido’s most famous travel destination, at highly affordable prices.

Making its winter debut in November 2015, MY Ecolodge has quickly become a favourite amongst locals and holiday-goers alike, offering some of the most reasonably priced accommodation in Niseko, without compromising on any of the amenities and quality those visiting the town have come to expect.

Boasting 172 beds split between private twin/double en-suite, and dormitory style rooms,  MY Ecolodge sits between Grand Hirafu and the stunning Mt Yotei, and is located but a short bus ride away from Kutchan town and its impressive array of restaurants.

Going on sale today, and covering the 2016 travel periods of June, and August through October, the all-inclusive travel packages will start from as low as RM 3,900—roughly JPY 110,000—and include 20kg luggage allowance, return flights with standard seat selection, and 5 days/4 nights accommodation at MY Ecolodge.

Officially launched by Ambassador of Japan to Malaysia, Dr Makio Miyagawa, and spearheaded by AirAsia X chairperson Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, ‘MY Ecolodge x AirAsia X’ hopes to “jointly promote Niseko as an all-season holiday destination. This positive collaboration is expected to enable more Malaysians the opportunity to go on vacation in Niseko at affordable prices.”

Renown for its unsurpassable winter powder, Niseko is rapidly growing in popularity during the green months thanks to both its summer beauty and extensive array of summer activities—which include world-class golf, rafting, hiking, and much more.

Many people who would not have had the opportunity to enjoy the natural charms of the area will be able to forge countless everlasting memories, as now—thanks to this joint venture—Kuala Lumpur and Niseko have become just that little bit closer.
