Niseko Summer Adventures ☀
#advertisement
Niseko Tourism invited us to experience some of their summer activities like canyoning, mountainbiking, hiking or enjoying an onsen. We also did a early morning hike up to Mount Niseko-Annupuri from where we had a great view towards Mount Yotei (which looks similar to Mount Fuji). More pictures on of this trip on
Thanks for watching!

Niseko Untapped
Niseko draws thousands of visitors each year to Japan’s northernmost island in search of the steep and deep. Yet when these famed slopes turn from white to green, the untapped potential as a summer destination is on full display with outdoor activities, art, great food and top-notch accommodation.
Today Niseko’s streets, usually packed with skiers and snowboarders walking to and from the numerous luxury apartments and restaurants, are eerily quiet. Yet, peer a little closer and you’ll see a buzz of activity and anticipation as the town ramps up for summer. Hokkaido rarely exceeds 30 degrees Celsius—even in the peak of summer—making it ideal for hiking, cycling, lake and ocean sports. Instead of going into reverse hibernation when the snow melts, several businesses have ventured to stay open year round in hopes that Niseko will follow Whistler and Queenstown’s footsteps and become a major all-season outdoor destination.

Japan Travel: Snow and More in Niseko, Hokkaido 02 Moopon
Japan Travel: Snow and More in Niseko, Hokkaido 02 Moopon
Niseko, located in the Shiribeshi Subprefecture of Hokkaido, is the most famous ski resort in Japan. Niseko has tons of light powder snow, a large terrace for ski/snowboard courses as well as the option of off trail skiing. Adventurous skiers/snowboarders can explore the backcountry through special gates set up around the resorts or by guided tours, including helicopter tours. For example, the nearly perfect volcanic cone of Mount Yotei’s peak is accessible via helicopter to ski/snowboard down.
Niseko’s resorts are popular among both Japanese and foreign winter sport enthusiasts. A large number of foreigners, especially from Australia have made this resort area quite popular for visitors outside Japan. As a result, Niseko’s resorts are very foreign friendly and offer their guests a variety of long ski runs as well as after ski activity.
The ski resorts are all located on Mount Niseko-Annupuri. There are three major resorts, Grand Hirafu, Niseko Village and Annupuri. They are located on the southeastern half of the mountain with the three resorts being connected at the top. Visitors have the option of purchasing a special combination ticket, the Niseko All Mountain Pass, for 5600 yen to use the three resorts freely. There are shuttle buses at the base of the mountains to transport skiers between the resorts.
Grand Hirafu is the largest of the resorts. The resort has with over a dozen lifts as well as a secondary base at Hanazono on the east side of the mountain. Grand Hirafu is located within Hirafu, a sizeable town. Compared to the other two resorts, Grand Hirafu is the only Niseko resort located within town which has many hotels, holiday homes, and boarding houses. Hirafu has a variety of restaurants and bars for visitors to enjoy. With many foreigners visiting Hirafu, many restaurants have an English menu.
Visitors may wish to visit Kutchan, located 15 minutes by bus away from Hirafu. It is the biggest city in the area. Therefore, there are more shopping and dining opportunities in Kutchan. However, it is not as convenient for skiers/snowboarders as Hirafu is.
Located west of Grand Hirafu is the next largest resort, Niseko Village (formerly known as Higashiyama). There are 2 hotels located at the base of Niseko Village. There are a variety of restaurants and bars in the hotels as well as “after ski” activities, such as an onsen (hot spring). However, currently there are few dining options outside of the hotels. But there are plans to develop a new resort town to make Niseko Village more attractive to its visitors.
Further west is Annupuri Resort. The ski trails at Annupuri are neither as steep nor wide as the other two resorts. However, the courses are also not as crowded here. At the base of Annupuri Resort is a resort hotel as well as a small collection of boarding houses and holiday homes. Dining options are scarce and there is little to no nightlife.
A smaller, fourth ski resort in this area is Moiwa. Moiwa Resort is not included in the Niseko All Mountain Pass nor is it possible to ski from Miwa to the other resorts. However, the resort is not crowded and is popular for beginners and those who prefer a smaller sized resort. There are a few hotels as well as boarding houses near the base of this resort.

Niseko Powder TV : Last snow report of the season 2008
In 2005 for a period of 5 consecutive snow seasons I produced, filmed and edited over 500 branded multi lingual video content segments (English, Japanese, Mandarin & Korean) to be delivered across multi-screens (Web, Social, Mobile, Cable & Digital Signage) for Powder TV & Hanazono TV in Niseko Japan.
A very successful social strategy was implemented in 2007 increasing Niseko’s presence online to the largest of any resort at that time. Analytics were being utilised to look at potential forward markets and Social video campaigns were then created to target those international markets.
Here is a sample of one of our snow reports.
4S1F36 Make People Understand That They are Heard and Understood
Teaching is a tool to help make this world a better place for everyone and today I am very lucky to have Mr. Barry Mernin on the show this episode. Mr. Mernin is a lifelong elementary educator. Before teaching overseas, Mr. Mernin spent 12 years teaching in the US. Now, at the time of this episode, Mr. Mernin has spent the past fifteen years teaching in Singapore, Japan, Jordan and Hong Kong. He is currently a teaching administrator at Hokkaido International School- Niseko, Japan. Mr. Mernin’s professional mission statement is: “ I will provide a wholesome and upbeat environment for any and all students to succeed. I will teach students to learn to be content. I will demand that students care for the world around them as well as themselves. I will remember what it is like to be a child.” Mr. Mernin has a master’s degree in Mathematics and has attended summer workshops with Columbia University’s Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, directed by Lucy Calkins. Mr. Mernin has also obtained a leadership certificate from the Principal’s Training Center for International Educators. This interview touched me and I see why Mr. Mernin is really a professional educator who values lifelong learning and is constantly enhancing his craft.
