Niseko Mountain Guides just rocked my world! I was intimidated, at first, by all of the possibilities in the Niseko area as I weighed my options for celebrating the new year.

I'm looking forward to future adventures with Niseko...

We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming...
