NATURE: Hit the Slopes, Hokkaido

Japan’s ski season is in full swing with eager enthusiasts heading to the mountains to enjoy the country’s abundant snowfall.

Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost prefecture, is a mecca for snow sport fans around the globe. Home to the wildest mountains and deepest powder, Siberian winds crossing the Sea of Japan form dense snow clouds that lay vast blankets of thick, fresh snow throughout the winter months. From high-energy Niseko in the shadow of Mount Yotei to off-piste playgrounds amidst the peaks of wild Daisetsuzan, Hokkaido has slopes to suit all preferences.

To pick your destination, Skiing-Hokkaido tells you everything you need to know – and if you’re not yet ready to strap on a pair of skis, a trip to the summit of any of Hokkaido’s snow-capped mountains is well worth the journey for the breath-taking views alone.
