On the second day of our Hokkaido trip, we went to a new attraction over on the Higashiyama side of the Niseko mountain. Attraction is called: "Pure" and is part of the Hilton Niseko Village. Highly recommended as there is a lot to do for both kids and adults alike. Shot of Austin being a *real* trooper and tackling the tree trekking. Have to say it was a real challenge even for us adults! Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan.
Japan's massive success is down to one word - snow. Ski Independence's three Japanese resorts average over 50 feet of snow each winter dumped down from massive Siberian low-pressure systems - waist deep powder is not a myth here, it is common place!
Green Leaf Niseko Village conveniently surrounded by ski area. And an outdoor onsen (hot spring) accessible almost 24/7 for the hotel guests (except 9am - 1pm).
